    This is really Amasing to see! ive grown up climbing mountains in the Sierras with my father and family friends, i finished the John Muir Trail climbing Mt Whitney in 2019. After all the 221 miles i completed,and the beautiful scenery ive seen,it never occured to me to shoot any film there. ive been collecting cameras for a little over 3 years and all my childhood nostalgia has been backpacking in the great mountains, this truly made me happy to see one of my favorite photographers strolling around, walking to places that ive been before, and taking incredible photos where i grew up, Thank you

    A Shiner at 7:19! Awesome. Seriously I enjoy your series after now seeing a few episodes. Your blend 'of not in a rush' slightly cynical but charming narrative in stand-up comic style, range of beautiful country (this one maybe takes the cake) and abandoned buildings for subjects continues to intrigue as well as being clearly in the do film or die culture is fabulous! Keep up the great work and making pictures Jason!

    Could those wonderful corner lighting effects be that you load film in a rather cool fashion, in direct sunlight ??

  • @randallstewart175
    @randallstewart175 4 роки тому +2

    For those who may care, the light leaks on the 120 rolls he mentions are caused by inadequate tension on the paper leader at loading, which allows the initial leader to wrap the spool loosely. In turn this causes the film's diameter on the takeup spool to be too large, extending beyond the light protection of the spool ends. The solution is to put some pressure with your thumb on the new film roll when first winding on the leader, keeping it tight. My Pentax 67 has the same potential problem. Basically, the camera's tension on the film supply spool is inadequate.

    if you watch any TV you'll see that same abandoned house (16:20) in a commercial for some real estate company....it's an older picture of the house, with much of the green roofing still on top. I took a picture of that same house back in 2010 or 2011and it's hanging on my wall. The house is fading fast when compared to a few years ago, a natural process.

      Get your self a Mamiya 6 (the 50s folder model) or any other folder medium format camera (Fujica 6, Zeiss Ikon, Afga Isolette or Konica Pearl are the ones that I can recommend you). Those models are old but quite reliable and inexpensive (always bellow $100 usd), besides most of them have masks for the frame that allow you to take photo in both; 6x4.5 or 6x6.
      Cheers!

      Try going for a Kiev 60, Pentacon six lenses are plentiful, and the shutter speed goes to 1/1000. And as a added bonus, you can beat someone to death with it. (it weighs 2kgs with the standard 80mm lens)
