4×5 Images.

I recently picked up a really old 4×5 camera system. really old as in pre WWII. It has been quite fun to shoot with and I have really enjoyed shooting with a slower pace. Here are a few portraits that I have shot with the camera. As you can see, the lens is a little unpredictable at times. It definitely makes for an interesting image.

Enjoy

Fine Art Reference | Christina’s World

benjaminspell — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 04:33:49 +0000

I had the assignment to find a historical piece of artwork and create a photographic piece that referenced it. I chose Christina’s World by Andrew Wyeth. Unfortunately, Mr. Wyeth passed away last week at the age of 91. More information on his life and art work can be found here.

Here is the original painting.

This is my version of this. It was really enjoyable recreating such a historic piece. I hope to do this again.

Cheers,

Ben

A scene from Hitchcock’s Imagination

benjaminspell — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 22:45:14 +0000

I was in Houston, Tx this past Saturday when just before sundown the theatre district was overtaken with thousands of birds. It was a really amazing site. Apparently every winter the birds migrate to Houston and fly around the area in the evening. has anyone seen anything like this? I would love to spend more time shooting this type of thing. Too bad I’m in MA where no bird is interested in hanging around in these temperatures.
