Ruminations of a documentary photojournalist and travel photographer in Bangkok, Thailand. Saturday, July 18, 2015. A boy, standing next to his father, prays in Ton Son Mosque before Eid al-Fitr services at the mosque. Friday was Eid al-Fitr. Also called the Lesser Eid, a Muslim holy day that marks the end of the month of Ramadan. I went to Ton Son Mosque. Men pray under awnings put up for shade in front of the mosque. A man at prayer. There's a sprawling cemetery around the mosque. It's a quiet, pea...

Ruminations of a documentary photojournalist and travel photographer in Bangkok, Thailand. Thursday, August 6, 2015. A man carries corrugated metal sheeting up to the wreckage of house destroyed in the Nepal Earthquake. At 11:56 AM on April 25, the earth under the mountainous country of Nepal shuddered and heaved, killing thousands and devastating one of the poorest countries in Asia. The earthquake was an 8.1 magnitude tremor, the worst disaster to befall Nepal since an earthquake in 1934. I went to Nep...

Wednesday, January 19, 2011. Nothing really, to comment on here. I'll just leave it to the pictures to do the talking. This is Tumacacori. National Park. The images were shot with a medium format camera on black and white film. The film was hand processed by me and then scanned. Posted by Brad Armstrong. Saturday, January 8, 2011. The Positive / Negative of Polaroid Type 55. This post shows one scene, the Polaroid Positive (left) next to the (scanned) negative on the right. The positive was a great w...

Friday, September 14, 2012. Prints stand the test of time. The photography we’re posting on digital media has a shelf life of about ten minutes. We need to think beyond Facebook, Instagram, Flicker etc. You don’t want to look back 20 years from now and say I can’t remember what my kids looked like on their first day of school. Do it for yourself and for your family. Posted by Brad Armstrong. Thursday, September 13, 2012. Bonkers with a cell phone. Hipstamatic / Winkelman, AZ. Cell phone photography has g...

Monday, February 6, 2012. Film 6 X 6 Kodak Portra 160VC Below:. I’ve been itching to get out and do some photography of my own lately. I remember coming back from a photo shoot in Tucson when we passed an interesting area about a half mile long. It’s on I-10, east of Eloy, AZ. It’s very close to the road so you can’t miss it. All the buildings are abandoned awaiting demolition and redevelopment. Since we were on our way home, I thought I'd come back when I could. Here are some of the pictures I thought w...

Monday, July 9, 2012. Lori and I, Photo by Toru. These pictures are from a recent overnight camping trip to the Mogollon Rim in AZ. The pictures are made with a Polaroid camera and film made by Fuji film. The color is FP-100c and the black and white is FP-100b. These are the pull apart film’s like the old by gone Polaroids. The sun light was intense and contrasty so for fill light I used a Canon 580 EXII flash and a small beauty dish. Posted by Brad Armstrong. Wednesday, July 4, 2012. Photoshop is an inc...

Sunday, July 10, 2011. Scottsdale Preserve / Large Format. From Phoenix take a short drive to North Scottsdale and you'll find a piece of State Trust land that is being considered by the City of Scottsdale to become an extension of the McDowell Mountain Preserve. There are quite a few interesting rock formation through out the landscape as well as evidence of American Indians. This cone shaped rock is one of those interesting locations.

Transformations: Bonkers with a cell phone

Thursday, September 13, 2012. Bonkers with a cell phone. Hipstamatic / Winkelman, AZ. Cell phone photography has gone bonkers. Image quality has risen to a point where the work looks great. You don't even need to hold the camera to your face or close one eye. When people say everyone is a photographer now. It's so true. What defines a photographer these days. It's all over the place. Imagine being a fine art photographer who makes a living selling images. Good luck! I'm still shooting film but not as much.

Tuesday, May 17, 2011. I think this is my favorite shot from the session. We started inside there home and did some formal portraits at the piano and then moved to the local park. Since the light was fleeting we really didn’t have a lot of time. We had to work pretty fast at this point. Posted by Brad Armstrong. Wednesday, May 4, 2011. This Sarah, a beautiful young lady and an aspiring ballerina who gave me the opportunity to photograph her a couple of weeks ago. Posted by Brad Armstrong. A Photo a Day.
