VIDEO DESCRIPTION Hey look at that I made a video with someone else in it. Turns out I’m not an egomaniac who craves the spotlight. I just have no friends. Except this one, Sergio Buss (www.sergiobuss.com). He’s a commercial photographer in Brazil and, more importantly, loves shooting film. So we spent 3 days in Yosemite National Park together taking pictures and soaking in the sights.
Yosemite is difficult to photograph. I mean…it’s not *difficult* to photograph, it’s just difficult to take pictures here that are even remotely unique. Yosemite may very well be the most photographed place on Earth, so any picture you’d want to take here...it’s already been done, honey.
That’s a challenge for me because I don’t like taking pictures that have already been taken. And that’s why I typically photograph random donut shops and stuff. Places like Yosemite don’t light my creative fire like they used to. But that wouldn’t stop me from enjoying a little photo trip to this beautiful valley. So, to try and squeeze the most creativity out of myself I just dramatically limited my tools to 2 odd film formats: 6x6 and 6x17. The only cameras joining me would be the Mamiya C220 and the Shen-Hao TFC 617-A. Oh, and the video camera.
Editing this video was a beast for some reason. I hope you like the result.
