The Mushroom Hunter triptych

12 years 11 months ago #51620 by Henry Peach
Three shots I took of a friend while we were out morel hunting. The camera was an Ansco Titan 20, which is a 120 folding camera from the 1950s. The film was Ilford HP5+ developed in Diafine.

Way cool to have that technology around for this old sport! I never take pictures when hunting the illusive morels, nothing gets in the way with me, I do not even chew gum!

I like that triptych have made it into photography, I think it is a interesting technique.

Originally I just accompanied the morel hunters because I like wandering around in the woods with a camera. When this photo was taken no morels had been found yet. Soon after we started finding them, and I was hooked! The camera got put away, and I concentrated on finding morels. That was years ago, and while I still always carry a camera, I rarely take a photo while hunting mushrooms. I use the camera as a dodge when other mushroom hunters ask if I'm finding any. "What? Mushrooms? I'm just out here taking pictures. I haven't seen any mushrooms." ;)
