Taking the Long Way
On the way back from Vegas I decided to take my time and explore a bit of the scenery with what was quickly becoming my favorite color film stock, Ektar 100. In was on this drive that I discovered what I hope to one day turn into a type of signature shot of mine, the Portrait Landscape.
"Tranquility" - Somewhere between Vegas and LA, 2014
Something about leaving so much room for the sky in a landscape photo really puts our existence here into perspective. We all like to think we're larger than life, but just look up at the sky next time you need a reminder of exactly what life is. The effect is humbling to say the least. And don't you just love that natural blue gradient? Ektar is an incredible film.
This was a peaceful drive, a nice way to unwind from the crazy birthday weekend at Life is Beautiful and prime myself for getting back into the hustle when I got home. The year's winding down, and 2015 is starting to look particularly promising...
Damn I love that Ektar blue.
