David is on this list....hopefully he can fill us in on how he mixes 35mm, 4x5 and digital into his work flow.
Work flow: i wish i had one.. the digital keeps me up way too late, which i
get to after going into the bathroom of the
homewood/marriott/fairfield/4points/super8, close the door, lay towels against the door cracks, take off my
luminous dial watch, and swap out the shot frames for fresh ones, trying to
remember how many of each ive done. Im a lousy bookkeeper, but i usually get it
within reason... dont forget NOT to open the box in daylight and count them (It HAS
happened)...
themain issue is schlepping more un-related gear.. the 10D Canon (with a
28/50/135) , the rollei, and the speed on a small velbon tripod (life saver) with
a cable release. The other most important item is the have sized
reading/close up glasses ($5 at Costco, #2) which lets me actually get my silly eyes
close enough to a ground glass to see when its sharp. I have a Linhof Master
Tech.. its a gorgeous Ferrari like piece of gear, but the Speed G seems to be
more like a '64 Plymouth Fury with a Hemi under the hood.. nothing on it is
automatic.. (oops, forgot to pull that darkslide before shooting.. oops, forgot
to put the slide back in before recocking the shutter.. there are a LOT of
potential OOPs es..).. but
in the end, its really fun, and in this life, FUN is no small item..
especially when youre as lucky as I have been the past 5 months to have editors at
TIME who seem to agree, and are running the pictures with high, and highly
appreciated, regularity.
See you all at some lousy political rally, coming soon to a very UNDER - LIT arena near you!
