Cactus flowers, Mojave Desert - Michael Nelson (michaelnel)'s Photos

These are digital scans of 4x5 film transparencies and negatives. All (except the one of me) were taken in the 1980s with my Zone VI 4x5 field camera setup (RIP Fred Picker!). The one of me was taken by a friend with his medium format Hasselblad camera.

Michael Nelson (michaelnel) > This is me, circa 1985, in Zion National Park with my Zone VI 4x5 view camera. The photos in this gallery (except this one) were taken at various locations in the Southwest with that camera rig. Note the bell bottom pants and blue & yellow Nike shoes. No, that isn't a gun on my hip, it's my Zone VI modified Soligor spot meter.

Michael Nelson (michaelnel) > Returning home to SF from Utah I was driving through the Mojave Desert near sunset. There was a brief rain shower and the desert just lit up. I stopped along the road and took this photo.
