3 years and 200 rolls of film later… my new book, Village Beaches has arrived. What I affectionately referred to as my “pandemic project,” is a photo series i shot during the summer of 2020. This completely analog, manual, medium format, pinhole, fine art, film series was my main creative outlet during the Covid summer. It really was a fulfilling way to dial back what has primarily become a digital medium, especially at a time when so many of us were looking for purpose and to connect with something (in this case, nature) beyond our screens. Currently available at many local book and home stores, Barnes & Noble and Amazon.
A few selections from a recent trip to France… Paris is an absolutely gorgeous city and keeping in character with my surroundings, I shot exclusively with an equally exquisite camera. To travel light, I carried around my vintage 1934 Leica III with a 50mm Summar f/2 lens and a couple rolls of film. These shots are so perfectly simple and romantic with an unmistakable resonance.
