#We35Shenanigans Week 25
It was a distracting week trying to explore the frontier here in New Jersey. My everyday photography aka diary camera did not see much action because my work camera was out a lot. Unable to get past the surrounding chaos I chose just to do good work and rest when I could. I did enjoy my camera work and there is still a lot to edit.
As part of this year’s we35 project #exploringthefrontier we decided to hashtag our nonresearch as #we35shenanigans. I have been posting the images on my Instagram account but here are some of them, edited, for my entertainment.

All was not lost though I did manage to get a few frames…

It was a dull week. Exploring the Frontier, Slow. A storm is coming. In this calm before the oncoming ‘issues’ capturing frames have a been a bit slow. As I traveled between New York and New Jersey I did try to capture frames but I was distracted. There was a lot to see however I was not looking my eyes focused elsewhere.

It was quiet before a storm, here exploring the frontier in New Jersey. The weather was finally felt like it belonged in June and things felt nice. It was nice not to be too wet or chilly, but just comfortable. While the world around me had a false sense of panic building, I decided to just go about my usual task. There were not a lot of frames this week, but it could have been worse.

#We35Expedition 4 Eye Of the Beholder
This expedition was founded on the idea that we all see things differently. “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” was the theme for Aprils We35 expedition.
A New York Morning
With beauty being subjective, we all have our different perspectives in our lives. I chose to show something that always pleases me. An empty morning in New York. As a bit of an introvert, I find the calm of the morning the best time, a delightful time, to walk around. The city is quiet and just waking up and I find it easy to explore the frontier. Often times there is work going on with very few people to get in the way. Just the way I like it.

It was a typical week out here exploring the frontier. The weather was decent and people were stupid as I spent time capturing frames, in my travel, here in New Jersey. In between my camera work, I cooked a lot and took moments as they came.
The end of this week we began Memorial day weekend. a time, in the United States, on which we honor all those who have died serving their country. It’s also marked the beginning of summer and families got together, shared good times. While the weather was not that warm it was enjoyable. Good food was shared and time marched on.

I was an ungraceful week, exploring the frontier in New Jersey and New York. The weather was, mostly nice, for this time of year, and it was pleasant to be outdoors. The ‘creative vs work life’ balance was torn asunder. Thank geek buddha for coffee though. I moved through the week as best I could, capturing a few frames in random places, then the weekend attacked and it was fascinating.
I moved from one caffeine-fueled moment to another. There was music around my town and I wondered around with my Sony A7 and 35mm 1.4 capturing some moments. I also made my way to New York for the 5points festival(more on that later). I grilled , had a donut and more coffee through these moments , trying to capture things as best I could. The best thing I did throughout the week was to just keep a camera out as much as I could, no matter where I was.

I got my hands on the Hasselblad X1D
Recently I got to play with the Hasselblad X1D at a Work Shop. I have been longing to do this since the camera was announced. Getting my hands on the camera was a fascinating experience. I got to use my own memory card to get some sample frames and I finally had a quiet night to take a look at them.
Frames from the day
The images had a chance to marinate due to a busy schedule however I got a break. I finally got to catch up on some photo editing. Here is one of my files from the Hasselblad X1D.The raw files give me a lot to work with. So far I’m really impressed with the files. More thoughts to come, here is one sample frame.
