Sketchbook

Typically my photographs are made with a view camera on 4x5 film.  However, I always carry a digital camera with me to take "sketchbook" pictures.  They become like a visual journal for me.  Often, these pictures are precursors to more organized and researched images within one of my projects.  Finished portfolios from some of these projects can be viewed at my website: www.nathanlarimer.com.  Here is some of my sketchbook...
