Just some random photos from a roll of film that got developed along with the wedding film. All my wedding photos were on film, because at the time I thought my fuji was broken. It made the week much simpler, photographically. As it turns out, a softrelease fixed the fuji, so I’m still shooting with it. I had forgotten how good film looked, with no fucking around with filters and contrast masking and shit. Blacks are black, whites are white. The tonality I have to work for in digital is just there already. I suppose my recent return to B&W was presaged by this work; it was definitely influenced by it. I have to thank “Hornbeck”:http://johnhornbeck.com/, too, because seeing his work on instagram and FB his work was a kick in the ass, a reminder that black and white could be great, and color was just a pretension. I realized I needed to stop fucking around. I need to make pictures. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/first_and_last_chance/520/0001.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/first_and_last_chance/520/0002.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/first_and_last_chance/520/0003.jpg’ /> </div>

This was the home opener. Somehow, I find myself at a baseball game about once every other year. I like the idea of baseball, and the games are fun to go to, but I can’t get into watching them on TV. It’s just a rare treat. I think this was like May-ish; the film stuff is all out of order, and this roll didn’t get developed with the rest. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/home_of_the_a’s/521/0001.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/home_of_the_a’s/521/0002.jpg’ /> </div>

I’m proud to announce that as of this post I’m less than three months behind. Seriously, this is a milestone for me, and I’m really thankful for all the people that helped me along my way. Seriously, three months sounds like a lot, but I’n basically leapfrogging september; All I have are a few film shots and the wedding. This was what the evenings looked like. Hanging out in the net shelter, to keep out the bugs. Playing games, eating, reading. Totally exactly what I needed. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/camp_games/522/0001.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/camp_games/522/0002.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/camp_games/522/0003.jpg’ /> </div>

This is most of what we did the last weekend we went camping. It is at least as relaxing as it looks. Probably more so, because there were seveal hammocks for when floating became too strenuous. Beer, foods, the whole bit. Astute observers will notice that there are actually two swimming holes depicted here, because we went to two different ones, on different days. My memory is a bit fuzzy, but I think it was a three day weekend? A needed break, anyway. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/relaxing_on_the_river/523/0001.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/relaxing_on_the_river/523/0002.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/relaxing_on_the_river/523/0003.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/relaxing_on_the_river/523/0004.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/relaxing_on_the_river/523/0005.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/relaxing_on_the_river/523/0006.jpg’ /> </div>

Man, 00 pizza. Also, emotions. I miss these guys. A good bunch, one of the best bosses ever, and a really great work environment. I’m constantly reminded of just how lucky I am. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/last_team_lunch_with_ey/524/0001.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/last_team_lunch_with_ey/524/0002.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/last_team_lunch_with_ey/524/0003.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/last_team_lunch_with_ey/524/0004.jpg’ /> </div>
