Salty Rigs in Southern California on 35mm film
Eye candy in the form of salty rigs line the streets. They slowly creep in front of you as you’re driving. Their engines sputter from one surf break to the next in North County San Diego, California. Leucadia, Encinitas, and Cardiff-by-the-Sea are home to these relics. All images shot on Kodak Portra 400 & 800, 35mm film on my Canon Ae-1. This is an ongoing series.

Stormy Seas 35mm Film Project
It doesn’t storm often in coastal Southern California. When it did, I wanted to take advantage of it. Mind you, jumping into the ocean, nude, when it’s 55 degrees Fahrenheit with scattered showers is a big ask to fair-weather friends. Luckily, best-friends Henny Rau (@henny_rau) and Chloé Bleue (@chloe.bleue) felt invigorated by the chance to create some seaside memories in Encinitas, California. All images shot on Kodak T-Max 3200 (pulled to 1600iso), 35mm film on my Canon Ae-1 and Kodak Portra 800 on a Pentax IQZoom 80-E point and shoot. I incorporated the use of some handheld prisms.
