I haven't done a good job posting this month. It's not that I didn't shoot I have been shooting a lot of film so the turn around on that makes it considerably slower and the more time that occurs between posting and being on my computer makes me less likely to post an image or so it seems. The following images are some of what I've shot this month. 

On May 23 I shot with the crew at Eastside Barbell. As usual they are a wonderful crowd to hang with. Some of my favorite weightlifters to be around. 

Murph is one of the most well known workouts in Crossfit. Named for LT Michael Patrick Murphy USN who was killed in action in 2005 the workout, as well as it's namesake, have expanded into the popular culture. In 2013 the film Lone Survivor brought the workout into the public sphere telling moviegoers everywhere of an infamous workout Murph used to do consisting of a one mile run, one hundred pull ups, two hundred push ups, and three hundred squats followed by a second mile run. Every Memorial Day crossfitters everywhere as well as celebrities such as Dwayne Johnson and John Krasinski undertake the challenge. 

This year instead of doing the workout as I might have been persuaded to as I have in years past I had the opportunity to shoot it at CFI West. 

I've also been enjoying shooting some Kodak Ektar. I like shooting with Portra as well but something about Ektar just feels right for this town.
