::old friends+new chemex+alt sperry

hello! i hope you all have had a good week. i can't believe it's coming to an end already. last weekend a my church had it's 15th annual men's retreat at this epic camp by a small town in rural wisconsin. it's always a lot of fun -- brings back many memories seeing as i've been going there since the age of 6! i brought my trusty camera with me, and really just had a blast with it. my brother joel brought a coffee brewer with him called a chemex coffee maker, and as you'll see below, it's very unique! i personally am a huge fan, mainly because it looks so cool, and it's awesome to photograph. photogenic coffee makers are the best. Joel, a few of our friends, and i, spent some time outside brewing up a pot of coffee and enjoying the beautiful day. It was incredible! I threw in some other pictures of the camp to give you a context - i hope you enjoy! two things about the first and last images: the first image i was experimenting with shooting a really broad area but with a very small focus point, so if it looks a bit different than you're used to, that would be why. It's gives it somewhat of a vintage, mysterious feel. The last image is of my friend joseph's shoe. it's a sperry. if i had to put it into a genre, i'd definitely say it was an alternative sperry. since you wanted to know. enjoy this post & have a fantastic weekend!

looking ahead,

Ethan J.
