Color

Unless you've followed my photography for more than the past five years or so, you'd probably think that I only shoot black and film.  If I could estimate the ratio of the number of rolls of black and white film I have shot  versus the number of rolls of color film I have shot over the course of my nearly 29 year photographic experience, I'd probably put it right around 50/50.  I have even shot some fishing stuff in color, it's just that the black and white seemed to be more successful.
On a recent occasion where my family and I took a little road trip I took at least three Holga cameras, the one that I actually used was trusty my red Holga, that I run color slide film in, Fujichrome 100 Velvia  to be precise. It's a great film that works very well in a Holga. 

I have made a few photographs like this one in the past, but I think this one is the most successful because of the warm light and the texture on the bottom of the pool.

I don't usually post photographs of my daughter, but this one is so cute I thought I'd post it, which was from the same roll of Velvia.

Next post will be more fishing!

Win this book!

It's hard to believe, but June 2013 marks the 10 year anniversary of mtbbrian.com. It seems like it was just yesterday that I was learning HTML and DreamWeaver with my foot propped up in a cast, just a few weeks from my wedding day. My photography has changed and so has my site, but I am  happy to say that I am still married to the same woman I married 10 years ago.  You can see a few pics of my wife that I have taken over the past 10 years and other photographs by checking out The Internet Archives " Wayback Machine", by plugging in mtbbrian.com.
In celebration of this monumental occasion I thought I'd giveaway a signed  copy of my book, "Trout Dreams", the very one pictured below a 10"x8" standard landscape hardcover with dustcover.
