Adrianna, Take #2

#0489_21A

Last take from a shoot with Adrianna back in October. Last one I was able to gett in before the weather turned for the worse (or better, given the drought) for the season. All images shot on location at Marshall's Beach in San Francisco.

You can see more of Adrianna's work at modelmayhem.com/3271709.

Watch for a print release from this shoot coming out in the next couple months. If you're interested in getting in on monthly print releases and other exclusive content, visit patreon.com/jszymanski

Dabbling around with some color film here and there, something I haven't done in a very long time... shooting with a Voigtlander R3m and a Nokton 50mm f/1.1, Kodak Portra 400 film.

No Ban, No Wall...

#0511_19A

February 4th, 2017. Several thousand people gathered at Civic Center Plaza in San Francisco for a "No Ban, No Wall" rally, protesting the recent travel ban instated by the Trump administration.

Less than a month into the Trump presidency and already people were tired... overwhelmed by the daily onslaught of insanity coming out of the White House. The rally had little of the enthusiasm of the inaugural demonstrations or the Women's March two weeks prior.

Polaroids From The Road...

No. #20170128_05 Amboy, Ca.

Made a quick run down South through Palm Springs, Joshua Tree National Park and the Mojave Desert back in January. I often forget just how empty most of California really is... and how "red" most of the small towns along the way really are. We stopped at this boarded up Motel, Roy's, in Amboy, which is somewhere between nowhere and not here. And then this RV full of German tourists rolls up, gets out, takes a bunch of pictures, and cuts out.

We almost... almost...  climbed to the top of Kelsoe Sand Dunes, but my ankle full of metal and our small dog were not cooperating. Plus we ran out of water. In the desert. Because we're city folk, apparently.

Word On The Street

#0502_00A - Howard Street, San Francisco.

Another round of rain coming through... Feeling bad for all my students, they've been stuck inside making pictures in their cracker box studio apartments for most of the semester and I think it's starting to take it's toll...
