the fine art of bowhunting
Smith & Bresson Club
Smith & Bresson Club - I was inspired to create the Smith & Bresson Club for photography by the Pope and Young Club, which is for bowhunters. There are certain requirements, which a bow kill needs to satisfy in order to qualify for acceptance in the Pope and Young Club. The criteria to be accepted in the Smith & Bresson club will be based on my own subjective view of my work, which I will score. In short, those photographs that are part of this club will be my best work and those pieces, which would be part of an exhibition. Any photos that meet this criteria, will be marked by a small skull icon.

Recording Film. Back in the 1970’s and early 1980’s, when photographers
wanted to shoot a fast film with a high ASA rating, they used Kodak Recording
Film. The ASA rating for this film was 1000.
The benefits were a nice grainy aesthetic, as well as the ability to shoot
in low light.
Eventually, with the advent T- Max ASA 3200 film, Recording
Film was discontinued. This film was
faster and not as grainy, however, if one wanted the grainy affect, the T-Max
could be pushed up to 12,400 ASA. Now, all
of this seems kind antiquated as Photoshop can give a photograph a grainy quality
with the click of a mouse.
In the early 1990’s, when I began bow hunting, Easton
aluminum arrows were mostly available, with the Super-Slam XX-78, being the
flagship shaft. Today, there are so many
other materials available, such as carbon, or carbon and aluminum hybrids. My
choice of arrow is Grizzly Stick from Alaska Bow Hunting Company. These have a completely
tapered carbon shaft and are excellent, top-shelf arrows.
