Amber, Take #1

After several false starts Amber and I were finally able to pull it together and shoot again in October. She's a wonderful model and just a lovely person... you can see more of her work at http://modelmayhem.com/ANudeMuse or at http://anudemuse.com/

All images shot with a Leica M2, Leitz 90mm f/2.8 on Ilford FP4 125 film.

Prints, Books, Etc.

So it's the holidays, again... and seeing as the buying season is already running full tilt, I though I'd remind all of you about all the really amazing stuff that you could buy (from me) that isn't from Wal-Mart or Target... so in turn, I can buy more film, bourbon, shampoo, you know, important things...

Word On The Street

A few snaps from my periodic magic hour strolls. Now that daylight savings time has ruined everything I'm really missing these late afternoon walks. Seems like the best place to be this time of year is the darkroom...

Patreon Updates...

Finally getting back into some semblance of a routine, and feel more eager than usual to get back to work. As such I've updated a few things on Patreon going forwad... 

#0478_13 - Self Portrait In Mirror, 2016.

First and foremost, I've changed the payment schedule from per release, to per month... I've got a lot of new work to share and new prints in the queue, so I'll be releasing a new print each month in addition to normal posts. 

Second, I've added another tier of support at $5. It's the quickest and easiest way to support my work. For $5 a month you'll get access to all exclusive content I post on Patreon, behind the scenes updates, process notes, discounts on prints and books and the like.

Once again, to support my work, please visit patreon.com/jszymanski

Thanks to everyone for all the support....
