Summer Daze

Things have been slow recently. I have been waiting for promised photos to continue my Wish You Were Here project. One of the parcours traceurs I have been working with hurt his knee. Over the weekend we were out in the country. The young son and his friend were playing on a trampoline.




But that is it. I have been waiting for some good light to photograph a really cool building, but it has been too hazy, or cloudy. It isn't the light I am waiting for. Hopefully I will have some new images in the next week. In the meantime, one more parcours picture to sum up my current feeling...


Just kind of hanging around.

Some more parcours pictures...

Parcours

I was working with just two traceurs on this last round of photos. It gave me a chance to consider what I want to show in these images. The picture above has a tension that I like as well as some implied motion.

I am less excited by these more classic images, although I like the three of them together.

And I am trying to decide how much blur I can get away with.

I really like the shadow falling below the jumping traceur, but I am worried that nothing is in focus. I like to have one relatively sharp spot in the image.

This one is a little sharper but seems more conventional. It doesn't seem so obvious with these pretty little images on line. The blur on the black and white prints is more apparent.

I will print more images from this day when I have printed them.

Spring is here.

More Parkours

These are a few more pictures from the day I photographed the pakours traceurs.



I am hoping to take more pictures, winter is not the best time for this sport.

Parkours

There is so much I would like to do with this; the impossible views, the motion...



I love the way the traceur interacts with the architecture.



I have many more pictures which I will post once I have printed them. I am working in black and white negative film, it is a slower process than digital.
