beach-fisher: Photography

The photography within this blog is primarily captured by just a small selection of film cameras. We use a lot of film and then it is digitized. Our cameras are subjected to being beat up by travel, being used in bucking in pangas, dunked in the salt as we bend over to land fish or dig something out of our feet. In the Sea of Cortez, our cameras are used in extreme conditions. Blowing sand, intense heat, salt water that evaporates quickly and leaves a coat of salt on everything it touches. Sand, grit, gets into everything, you try to mitigate it but sometimes it wins. Some of the slides found here have a line through the top of the frame… sand scratching the film as it is advanced. It’s a battle scar that is well deserved.

S.Brooks Bedwell is a friend, a fishing partner and photographer. He took most of the photographs of the estuaries and panga photographs. He is also a writer and together we built a web site on fly fishing early on in the timeline of the Internet. In addition to being a photographer and a writer, he is my friend.
