Here's the latest addition to the Holmes Clan. Welcome Abbie, my sister Laura's daughter.

Loop head again, but on film this time.

Hasselblad 503CXi, 80mm f2.8 Planar, TMax 400.

Old World

I'm starting to embrace my Hassy and I have to say that between shooting and developing it's turning into a love affair. My shots still aren't great, but I definitely am getting the hang of it. Kodak TriX, developed with Studinol (1+15) for 3.5 minutes at 20 degrees. Lovely and smelly so it was!

El Capitan

I’m a lot happier with my b&w conversion efforts lately. This is a re-do of an older shot that I’m much happier with now. This is El Capitan in Yosemite national park with Half Dome off in the distance.

Long Day

Stephen — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 15:15:10 +0000

Out for the count after a long day with all of his cousins.

Him and Her

Tonight we lose D. She’s off for a high flying career with United Arab Emirates. They’re damned lucky! After two and a half years we lose a friend, a nanny and a rare gem of a person who we’ll know will make a difference in the world and she’ll be missed desperately in galloping green!

Head

Just playing around with some processing things in Lightroom.

Wolves

Timberwolves vs. Spurs in a Target Center Minneapolis. My first basketball game and a superb night out. Loved it!

Just Wide

Ryan is inconsolable, a moment after a cracking cross. Cabinteely FC won their first of their season against Park Vale, scoring 3-2. Ryan takes his soccer pretty seriously, there’s a lot of emotion in that shot!

Ice Flow

Stephen — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 10:40:54 +0000

This is Lake Calhoun in Minneapolis. The ice is a couple of feet thick but from time to time it moves creating these frozen waves. Fascinating (and bloody cold!)
