Big Sur, California Winter Photo Session with the Larkin Family
Finding time to blog during this blog during the holidays and busy season with work has been hard but I had to share this winter session. Growing up here I've spent a lot of time at the beach, so I'm usually drawn to locations that have a little something more than beautiful ocean blues. When Jenna told me she had access to this beach but that we would have to hike, I couldn't say yes fast enough. By the time we got down to the location it was much later than I had originally planned, once I turned the bend and saw the light entering from between the bridge supports I knew this was meant to be.
Big Sur maintains a wildness about it that I haven't found on any other coast. Plunging cliffs, massive bridges, and miles of uninhabited rolling hills. One of my favorite activities is hiking new places with my camera in tow, so when families or couples want to do this with me I know I couldn't have a job I enjoy more. Now back to editing!
I’m a super 8mm lover. There is nothing like those flickering frames and overscan vibes. I own a Braun Nizo that I've used for personal and wedding work. But man, $200 per roll is tough. So to say I've been waiting for something like the Fuji instax mini evo cinema is an understatement. I’ll be comparing the mini instax mimi cinema, the camp snap and my traditional Braun Nizo. Disclaimer: nothing is beating the original but we are using it for comparison. I will be updating this blog as I use the camera more but I wanted to get my initial impressions up and out to you.
