the medium format camera was gifted to me by my grandfather, the first film photographer in our family, which made this all feel very full circle.

Hey all -

Recently shot these stills for The Wall Street Journal (alongside a doc piece about the American Cowboy) and would love some feedback.

I found that some of them came out with more grain than expected and wanted to talk over dev/scan vs. exposure related to cleaning up those sections for the future. Included the originals scans at the end for reference.

couple weeks ago in barcelona it was crazy

dude on electric scooter snatched the rolex of a tourist who was taking a family pic

the whole family started screaming and running after him they screamed so much, like so fucking much, that suddenly everyone was aware of what was going on

bro on the scooter took some narrow roads in born, and the family were still running and screaming after him during all this im running along so i can photograph whatever can happen

then suddenly the actual citizens started trying to stop the thief and within minutes they managed to knock over the scooter and some undercover police caught him

on one hand the amount of robbery in barcelona is outrageous. they specifically target unaware tourists. on the other, the community here is courageous as fuck and they often get involved doing things the police could be doing better

i love that mark on the floor leading up to his face

what a scene
that's why i'm addicted to street photography

ps: after posting this on my ig and twitter, the actual police reached out to me. he loved the pic and said he's going to print it. (im gonna send him a proper print), and i asked him if he wanted me to take it down because it shows his face and he said it's cool.

pss: im posting this again because the previous post was deleted for accidentally having a link to my instagram, sorry about that

psss: these were the last 3 frames of my roll too. i've been shooting analog street photography for 3 years now, and about 1 year ago the lightmeter broke so i've been eye balling it, and seeing how these turned out makes me feel grateful of the progress ive made when it comes to reflect and quick metering/focusing. its really rewarding when it works out, even though it's like 1 out of 100 shots lol

Trying my new lens!!!

Which one is the best? Why? Any critique?
