Copenhagen

Through glass in Copenhagen by Nathan Jones

Exposed on Kodak Portra 400 film using a Nikon F100 mounted with a 35 mm f/1.4 Sigma Art lens. Read my review of this wonderful camera.

Narcissus in the Foreground by Nathan Jones

Springtime in Copenhagen. My 35 mm lens simply could not accommodate the top of the tower in the frame on the left, and I did not have the 24 mm at hand. Such a pity. As it was, I had to lie on stomach to make this shot.

How I see by Nathan Jones

I keep making the same photograph, over and over. (See, for example, Under the Piano/Across the Street.) I used to think that this was a fault, a lamentable rut from which I had to extract myself by concentrated application of creative power. However, after shooting this way consistently for more than a decade, I have come to realize—reluctantly—that this is how I see. This is how I impose my particular sense of order upon the word. And instead of trying in vain to escape it, I choose to let go of futile ambition and relax into it. I am not going to win any photographic awards with this view of things, but it is my view, however mundane, and I am satisfied with that.
