“You’re stuck with me forever, Michie, get used to it. It’s the ties that bind, darlin’, the ties that bind.”

— Jim Marshall

Habana, Cuba walking the streets

Posted on September 16, 2016

I’m getting back in the groove of processing and starting to get the hand of Capture One. These were taken from my recent trip to Cuba back in June of this year.

Havana, Lost in Time

Posted on December 10, 2015

Lost in Time

Walking through Havana was a surreal experience. The city is filled with a certain sense of energy that is very difficult to describe.  I walked and walked endlessly throughout the streets of La Havana and the colors, the contrast, the highlights, the clothing of the people, the cars, in fact just about everything, is worthy of being photographed in the city. The entire city seems to be painted with slide film reminiscent of Kodachrome hence the processing with Classic Chrome.

Classic Chrome feels like Kodachrome

What does that mean? What does Kodachrome feel like? It’s tough to explain. But Steve McCurry put it very well when he famously said that Kodachrome (the film) had, “more poetry in it, a softness, an elegance.”

 

Here’s a small sampling of some images I’ll continue to share in this blog.
