Nick, this is excatly why I love your videos. It IS a struggle to get the weather to cooperate, and I like that you don't edit out all the challenges. You have a talent in making a failed outing still interesting, entertaining, and educational. You inspire me to dust off the old 4 x 5 find some film, thanks.

Nick is inspiring for sure. I got one of the same 6x17 cameras too. I'm hoping to get out this weekend after finally getting back home to New Orleans after evacuating from Hurricane Ida. I hope to take it out this weekend and shoot some of the aftermath. I was blessed my home survived with minimal damage, worse I lost was food from fridge and large deep freezer filled to the brim with dead animals..... There should be some interesting stuff to shoot.

Nick, thanks for sticking with it and being honest about your frustrations with the project. This makes me feel normal when I have similar feelings. I am a big fan of these types of images (low contrast, line and tone) and applaud your bold decision to use colour film... I usually make these images in b&w, adding colour introduces a whole other level of complexity to a project like this. If I was being honest about my reaction to the images, I would think that the increased amount of colour in the Catalina image compared to the Saddleback image breaks the congruency of the series. Individually though I appreciate both of them very much.

My family moved to Santa Ana (McFadden and Fairview) in '61. It was some time after we moved in that I was riding my bike down the street in front of the house, looked up and noticed Saddleback Mountain for the first time. I don't know if it just happened to be obscured by clouds or haze those times I was outside before then but I was so surprised I went back home and told my mom "There's a mountain at the end of the street!". Little kids will say stupid things like that, Saddleback was NOT at the end of the street, it was over 20 miles away, but to my eyes it loomed larger than it really was at that distance.

You had me rolling when you put the camera up because the clouds ruined your comp. And yea, the second to last shot was the banger. The whole idea of saddleback and Catalina birthed that shot. Subconsciously, your soul was drawing you to that shot man! Very nice video, even though I watched it late.

Once again, I'm so happy to see a Nick Carver video in my feed. This was a fun one to follow along with. I definitely fall into the part-time photographer category, and as such, I have only ever "planned" a couple of shots. I typically go to a location and then just become opportunistic. It was eye-opening to see how these compositions just lingered in your brain for years... marinating away until you decided to execute them. Like an ex-girlfriend that you just can't seem to leave in your past. Thanks for the insight Mr Carver!

You can get some interesting images of Saddleback from around the Newport Back Bay. I think Saddleback looks more like its name from more to the north than Aliso Viejo. You might try Santa Ana area. Maybe get access to the roof of a building. I was taking pictures around OC in the mid-60s onward and it was a very different looking place back then, especially south county. When the family moved there in '61 between our house in Santa Ana and Costa Mesa Fairview and Harbor snaked through nothing but fields of fruit, strawberries mostly, and various veggies, tomatoes mostly.
