I’ve been working on a set of prints for an exhibition and the commonality is they are all created with digital medium format Pentax gear. The large, cumbersome no-frills camera (no live view!) with old-school metal bodied manual lenses and the classic 4:3 aspect ratio influenced my workflow similar to my previous days of shooting 4x5 view cameras, with a more careful, slower, and thoughtful approach, and I like how that worked for me. I am also a fan of fullframe cameras for landscape work since that workflow and system is just so much fun for me, but if I’m being honest I have lately been feeling a nostalgic pull back toward that outdated Pentax and have placed a mint used one in my cart a few times.
Web jpegs won’t represent the visual joy of standing in front of the large prints on beautiful Canson etching rag paper, but I hope they convey some of the beauty I was blessed to see and compose across America. Thanks for looking!
