VIDEO DESCRIPTION
Well here we are for the second video chronicling my trip to Andalucía, Spain for the #FramesFromAndalucia project. Here we pick up with the rest of Day 3 where I visit the absolutely surreal Torcal de Antequera. The rock formations here are incredible, and I hit the f’ing JACKPOT with some dense fog that made the photography that much more epic.

Lots of 6x17 film, lots of 6x9 with the ol’ Fuji GW690II, lots of slippin’ & slidin’ on the muddy trails. Good times, good memories, and even gooder photos.

Then for Day 4 we ventured off to Almería to photograph a quaint little seaside town on 4x5 Ilford HP5+ film before heading to a beautiful beach where I captured an okay 6x17 frame on Kodak Tri-X and another 6x17 shot on Portra that I think is actually pretty damn cool.

And that’s it. That’s everything that happened.

Man…my 35+ hours of editing this video suddenly seems ridiculous when I see the whole thing summed up in just 142 words. Well, hopefully the video feels a little meatier than the description does.

Enjoy!

Man you are a hoot! I only wish I could live long enough to see you surrounded by young photography students, in the desert, white hair and beard, craggy faced, telling them about the magnificent meaning of film photography.

7:10 great Chris Farley impression. "Mist...on the glass...in a van...down by the river!!"

[Mauh-AC]

The best half an hour investment of my day.

Im deeply burned out from photography right now, this 27 mins were therapy to me. Thank you Nick!

Hoping for more from Spain. Been there many times, driving thousands of miles. Please go to the north, Asturias, Cantabria, La Rioja. The vistas that you capture with the 6X17 will be amazing. Plus, the food! Go to Spanish restaurants, my friend. Please. Thank you.

I'm so happy that both, you and Thomas Heaton, got invited to this project.
Really enjoying how different your styles are, and also how Thomas has already been somewhat familiar with the area (well, and Europe in general) and has been raised by the rains of Lake District, while your home turf are the arid landscapes of California.
Just checked out of curiosity and the record 43 inches of rain in 1983 California is half of the average 80+ inches in The Lakes.

The same assignment, yet SO different films and experiences.

One of the very few channels I ‘like’ before I even watch the video. I never regret it.

[SidVidZid]

Never waited for anything on YouTube this much 🌱

[myownirvana]

Man the mountain shot with the leaning telephone pole 45 seconds into the video is just so awesome. Another great video man!

A. I appreciate the mild Jim Carrey impressions.
B. I know it can seem not worth it to shoot film sometimes, but digital becomes so unsatisfying so quickly. Your work is unique and beautiful; don't change it.

[adamcook]

You are so good man and you make me chuckle! Fab stuff, thanks x

[marlenelandstravels]

This guy is so f*** cool 😮❤
What an inspiration. So glad I stumbled upon this channel. Very unique. Thanks Andalucia tourism board for putting these artists out there! 🎉

[llomegou]

So good ! You come back from a sh**y day and you see a new video from Nick.... Well... feels good !

[theatyhannington]

Oh come on, the Pacific Northwest didn't need that extra shade! It's already dark enough up here.

Much love. Engaging film. Appreciate all the hard work you put into it. Thanks for sharing.

[ReimannPembroke]

Dude that last image was absolutely killer!

[mattiasmarklund]

Lovely images, and I completely agree to the Stålenhag reference. It also reminded me of Tarkovsky’s images and movies.

[xander]

For another great Karst landscape spot, the Burren in Co Clare is gorgeously bleak

Thanks for another superb video. Especially the two HP5 shots are fantastic. Looking forward to the third in the series.

[johnchedsey]

This was both stunning with the beauty of Spain and the rather hilarious commentary throughout. Well done!
