Little 500 Miss-N-Out
Couple weeks back, I shot a bit of Indiana University’s Little 500 Miss-N-Out cycling races while I was in town visiting friends from college. Although I shot a lot of stuff on my “normal” cameras, I also exposed three rolls on my Holga. With a couple days off from the daily grind, I finally got around to processing and scanning the negatives.
Fall vacation
Until this week, I had been procrastinating processing and scanning a couple rolls of 120 film. Part of this stemmed from the fact that I hadn’t really touched my Holgas since September. Recently, I picked them back up and started to shoot with them again. I did this in an attempt to once again get inspired and excited about photography in general. I love shooting with my Holgas as a way to decompress and rethink how I look at things visually. The result of my return from Holga hiatus was developing and scanning the rolls. To my surprise, one roll was shot in September during a vacation to Indiana and Nashville, Tennessee while I was working in Wyoming.
St. Joseph, Michigan
Since moving back to South Bend, I’ve made a couple trips up to Silver Beach in St. Joseph, Mich. This was thanks in part to the unseasonably warm weather we’ve had. Also, the town is one of my favorite places on earth.
All Schools Mass
Had the opportunity on Monday morning to cover the All Schools Mass at the University of Notre Dame. The mass included 5,000 local Catholic school students who packed into Notre Dame’s Purcell Pavilion where the Irish basketball teams play. I’m not Catholic, and I can probably count the masses I’ve been to in my life on one hand. That said, I’m fascinated by the ceremonies and always enjoy shooting them when given the chance. Religious ceremonies always seem to lead to good pictures because they open people up, exposing some very telling moments about the characters of the worshippers. Below are a few pictures presented in black and white, but I also put together a gallery in full living color.
