Meathenge Remembers – Garden ‘Maters


Nikon F2a, 55mm f2.8 Micro lens with dumb old Kodak 200 asa print film. Sanned with flatbed from print, originally at 300 dpi.
Many moons ago I found myself taking pictures of food (meat). This started with film probably back in the early 1970’s. Clearly things progressed, changed and happiness grew. In 1997 we found ourself in a really cool rented house with 2400 sq. ft. on a 1/4 acre for 850 dollars a month. Boy, talk about a playground …



Zachary with a water smoker and a load of meat in the foreground. Real black & white film scanned.
Zachary was probably 3 here and we had a nice garden going, both in the front, back and the side yards. Joe Bob sold me a Sunpak 555 handmount flash for my Nikon F2a and told me to get to work. Here is one of my favorites of the time, I still enjoy looking at the photograph even after all these years. It was fresh and new to my rig.
These are Meathenge Labs’ Mater formation from about 7 years ago.
Love
