3 Prints Project: March 9, 2008

March 10, 2008 by Scooter in the Sticks 7 Comments

I finished my prints this week later than normal — around 10 PM on Saturday evening. The process is more routine and predictable with only about an hour needed to produce 6 to 8 work prints.

The three I chose this week to share are different but similar. My eye seems to be drawn to the same construction over and over again.

    Steve– As much as I look forward to your riding pictures and stories I have to admit the 3 Prints project has caught my interest. Even if they don’t have anything to do with the Vespa.

    Do you have plans to shoot while you are riding too?

    There is a theme in your pictures. Even in your color work with the scooters. You set up these lone and solitary shots.

    I like em!

    BTW: I shoot with a Leica too but nothing like what you are doing. It’s cool that you find so much so close. I need to rethink things.

    I’m curious about your cameras. Do you worry about vibration damaging them while riding? These obviously, or maybe weren’t made during riding trips but I know you shoot a lot while riding.

    The Leica seems so expensive to be risking that way.

    Love the pix by the way!

    I’m curious if you could post a more in-depth description of how you actually do this work? It seems like a lot to push into a week when you work full time. As much as I would like to do this I don’t see how it would be possible for me.

    Thanks for posting all this. I’m not a scooter rider but do love the pictures.

    ephoto: As I ride more I will be bringing the 3 Prints Project along with the Vespa so you will most likely see the scooter more and more in that body of work.

    mitch: I have used a Leica for many years working exclusively in black and white. For Scooter in the Sticks I was shooting digitally so that I could post images quicker.

    I am always drawn to solitary images.

    Andre: I worry about the effects of vibration and try and cushion the cameras carefully with padding. So far everything is fine. Time will tell.

    anonymous: I have it on my to do list to post more careful descriptions from time to time on the photo process I go through. Good question.
