Shots of Shelters, 2006-2013

"Gimme, gimme shelter
Or I'm gonna fade away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away"
The Rolling Stones, 1969

Clearly, the Stones were not singing about photographic "shots" during the turbulent years of protests against the Vietnam War. Nonetheless, I give you here Shots of Shelters. All were taken with a Hasselblad H4D-60 except "Big Sur 2006, Horses, Barn and Tree" that was taken with a 4-inch x 5-inch Toyo view camera and B&W sheet film. The six Crystal Cove shots were converted into B&W images from color HDR files developed as a part of the Area Closed, 2011 series.
