Those are fantastic. Love that first pick of him within the crowd of digital... talk about juxtaposition.

I know, film is dead, yada, yada, yada... but that is cool, and technically, very savvy. The shots are beautiful, unique, and not without challenge. Hopefully @limr will see this...

Thanks for sharing

Good photos, way cool. Major League Baseball used to be photographed with those monstrous plate-type reflex cameras! And some GOOD pics were made too. MLB has been around a very long time; research into early pictures from baseball's 1870-s-1910 era will have been shot with such cameras as that Graflex (I think that's a Graflex)

Though shot with a newer camera much earlier, the motorsports photography of Jesse Alexander is tough to beat:

Great to see he studied at Art Center. Not surprising that he is using large format film.

cameras for early car racing: the car wheels often the came out oval. shutter speeds, at max. were slow on graflex or even "box cameras", But, those cameras can be used today ! vin p.s. there were " roll film adaptors" for some of those smaller graflex, , but the cloth shutter roll, useing cotton thread did not the "test of time.".

Time to go look for a Graflex
But I have no idea where I can hide it from my wife.

I will bet that if anybody asked him what type of camera he was using, he could have said it was a prototype holographic project camera like they used it Star Wars.

Very few folks, even those telephoto junkies, are old enough to remember those old time wonders.

Interesting article, thanks for posting.
