35mm film |
My first full weekend back in Halifax was intended to be split between
time with my daughter, and the processing of the more than 200 sheets of
large format film I had exposed in Maine..until I
received a phone call fro Kris, asking if I was up for a session. Never one to turn down an opportunity to make
images, I put off processing the film, and headed off to Chebucto Head
shortly after lunch. Kris and I had worked there
several times in 1996,
but we had only scratched the surface of the possibilities. I could work
there every day for a year and still not exhaust its possibilities.

35mm infrared film |
Though the day was full of blazing sunlight, there was a cool wind
which very quickly took a toll on Kris - though she was still keen to
model, she preferred to be Nude for as brief a period as possible. The
afternoon was an interesting contrast to the work in Maine - there I
tended to work very quickly, and intuitively, the afternoon with Kris
was mostly spent walking, searching for images, and then setting them up
with great precision. Once I had an image fully framed and readied,
Kris would disrobe and take up the pose. In Maine I often spent as long
as ten minutes exploring a pose through the camera, with the models nude
through out the session; with Kris it was often less than a minute
between disrobing and dressing again. On the whole, the session's pacing
was about as far from those I did in Maine as it would be without
changing camera formats.

4"x5" film |
The outcome? After two and a half hours, I'd made 8 frames of 4"x5" and 4 rolls of film - two on 120, one infra-red 35mm, and one on the 35mm Horizont (swing lens panoramic). The session was slow, and methodical, and yielded a number of good images.
