Print Release, April 2017 - No. 0286_33A

Pulling another frame from my archive for the April release. I made this photograph in the Summer of 2014, on our last evening stroll through Old Stockholm before heading North to Ostersund for a week. I ended up using this image as the cover of the last book I put together... Fragments. 

#0286_33A - Tourist, Old Stockholm, Sweden. June of 2014.

Digital proofs are printed on Canson Fiber Rag, 5x7 proofs are printed on Ilford Cold Tone  Fiber. All prints should hopefully ship out by the end of the week.

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

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.

No. #20170128_04 Kelsoe Dunes, Mojave Desert.

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.
