A Photo Assignment
A glimpse of things to come...
Posted by Rob (Velveetaville, United States) on 14 September 2007 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
This is going to be a long winded post...
I was wondering what I could post today and was drawing a blank...
Well, then I remembered that I had one of my old 4X5 chromes scanned (I need to get a good scanner and scan more of them I guess) for a project I did a while back... have I ever mentioned I am classically trained but from the old school of film photography ;-)... that's a story for another time.
Anyway, this is an image from about 5 or 6 years ago that I shot with my old 4X5 Wood Field Camera. It is a road to a great place called the Rensselaerville Institute. The institute is a conference center with beautiful grounds in the hills above the city of Albany. I shot a wedding there one winter, it was a great wedding and wedding party. Of course, the guy I worked for and I then got snowed in... yet another story for another time too. The scan isn't the greatest and the file is only a .jpg so I couldn't do to much to clean it up. The print I have of this is much better and really big. When ever I show this print or chrome to anyone I tell them how right after I exposed the plate in my camera I met Andy Rooney from CBS 60 Minutes (he lives somewhere around there) and how nice he is, really. I hope as our fall season comes on around here to get more recent images for you all but this will have to do for now I guess.
All right, enough, I'm rambling now.
Thanks for visiting and Cheers,
Rob
