Fort Point

In April I took 10 days and just photographed whatever came my way. A one camera, two lens set up, let me worry about the images and not about what camera I was going to use. It was a bit liberating actually as I just focused on images.

I came away from that trip with about 60 rolls of 120 film, all of it B&W and all shot on the Mamiya 7. I don't get chances like this very often so I tried to make the best of it while I had the opportunity. It may be another 4 years before I get to do something like this again.

Fort Point, in San Francisco, is a gravitating point for me. I simply love the place and I usually try to make an image or two there while I'm in San Fran. They usually don't turn out this well.

I've wanted to make this image with a LF camera for some time but never had the chance. So I tried it with the Mamiya and the 43mm and I like it a lot. What I had envisioned actually worked for a change. I can't say that for many other images from this trip though. But I'll take this one and be happy.
