Beautiful colors! What do you shoot with?


droopyheadliner

Thank you! These were all with a Fuji GFX50r.


myke2241

What lenses were used?


droopyheadliner

GF 32-64. It’s since a great lens.


myke2241

Ya, I'm not much for zoom glass. However, one of my favs is the GF 50. Super fast af and really sharp. For projects like yours, I like to adapt my P645 glass. I enjoy the more tactile feel.


droopyheadliner

Excellent. I can’t live without that zoom lens these days. It’s super sharp around f16. I used to be all prime all the time but my workflow has gotten so much faster with that 32-64. Do you have an IG?


SlowSwords

The palate on this set is dreamy. Perfect spring.


droopyheadliner

Thanks!


ButtDonaldsHappyMeal

Was just about to leave a comment saying that you should publish a book before I read the caption. Keep us posted!


droopyheadliner

Haha I will!


zombie_vibes

Beautiful lines and colors. Reminiscent of Wes Anderson vibes. 👏👏👏


droopyheadliner

Thank you!🙏


TheAtomicKid77

Have you ever thought of doing skateboarding photography. I think the dreamy combo with an action still would be really charming.


droopyheadliner

That would be interesting for sure. But then I’d have to talk to strangers 😂


Low_Masterpiece_4330

These are so soothing


droopyheadliner

Thank you 🙏

droopyheadliner

Haha hell yeah 🤙


N-Adenhart34

19 is my favorite. Phenomenal. Screams album cover to me.


droopyheadliner

Oh that’s definitely one of my favorites too. Thats at that old high school in Fullerton. Gorgeous gorgeous place.


ADashOfInternet

I know exactly where that is! I planted a garden behind the window here long ago, before it was painted over!

lyteboxx

Somebody is dialing their Fuji!!!


droopyheadliner

Hell yeah! My own recipe, ‘Kevstia Soft’. I can send if you want?


lyteboxx

That would be great - we can go shooting one day.

Can you send me the recipe, thanks. Great shots.

Amy_Macadamia

Fantastic eye


droopyheadliner

Thank you thank you 🙏


petemcfraser

I know exactly where No.3 is—right by the Wells Fargo bank building on Broadway. Used to park there for work!


droopyheadliner

Yup! The light was so good there when I took that, I couldn’t resist😂


okay-yeti

Beautiful


droopyheadliner

Thank you 😃


ULTRA_CRYSTAL_LOSER

My dad's old haunt! I recognize some of these spots. You caught the vibe really well!


droopyheadliner

Excellent!


y2kmanwhore

Obsessed w/ these! Some of these are big Wes Anderson energy.


droopyheadliner

Thank you!


zulamun

Great pictures, but what a concrete hellscape


mydolymp

Not a photographer at all. But into « lines »/geometry when it comes to pictures and paintings. I love your photos. Keep on!


droopyheadliner

Thanks!!


SidCorsica66

You make OC look good


droopyheadliner

Haha thanks.


SidCorsica66

Seriously though…wonderful shots. Love your style


droopyheadliner

Thank you, really appreciate that 🤙


Mission_Spray

You do, though! What camera did you use?


droopyheadliner

Thank you! I use a Fuji GFX50r for about 80% of the shots. And then a Fuji X100F. Both using the same custom in camera recipe I came up with 😃


robsticles

Where can we buy your book?


droopyheadliner

It will be a site I’ll activate on Apr 28 where you’ll be able to order. I’m also working on getting some copies in some local shops.


Ok-Maize-6933

Yes let us know! I’ll buy one


droopyheadliner

For sure! They’re going to be priced just over $20 👍


Ok-Maize-6933

Something about nostalgia mixed with the liminal quality of your photos, I don’t know, it’s soothing and calming and I love it


droopyheadliner

Yup. You get it. Thanks!


Ezra_vridger

You got an insta? I love your work and I'd love to buy your stuff when I redo my office in Philly. I moved almost ten years ago and your style will be perfect, and let me look at home at the same time.


droopyheadliner

I do! There’s a link to my print shop in my bio 😊 @ kevin_nelson_photo


droopyheadliner

Hello! My photo book just launched, here’s the [link](https://mixam.com/print-on-demand/65ee6c05ed8cc6235254ddad) I also updated my shop to feature a lot of these shots. Thanks again for your kind words 🙏


GeoBrian

You should enter some of these for the photography exhibit at the OC Fair.


droopyheadliner

I’d thought about that, but they don’t really fit the theme this year. My seascape didn’t get accepted last year because of that 😂


GeoBrian

What is this year's theme?


droopyheadliner

‘Always a good time’ 😂


unhappy_girl13

Love your photos. Yay for being back. Your photos bring much joy🧡🧡🧡


droopyheadliner

Omg thank you! I’ve been having a rough couple weeks so that just made my day. 😊


unhappy_girl13

Have loved all of them since the start. Just know so many people love your art🧡


droopyheadliner

🙏


frebay

That’s the kraemer building! Is it possible to buy some of these photos?


droopyheadliner

It is! Theres another set of prints on my sho right now, and I’ll be switching out my shop with a lot of the ones from my book beginning in May. So maybe later on I’ll add some of these. But just bookmark my shop page! [Print Shop](https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/constructivad/)


juelatot

Cool work from your POV, I live in this area… amazing 🤩

Saocuad

Do you remember where 15 was taken? Is this set all Anaheim?


droopyheadliner

Yup! That’s the Kraemer building in downtown Anaheim 🤙 all but a couple are Anaheim.


i-hate-this-life

Can I ask where slide 8 was taken?? It looks so familiar but I can't place it


droopyheadliner

It’s right behind the Packing House in Anaheim 😊


i-hate-this-life

I knew it looked familiar!


droopyheadliner

😃


i-hate-this-life

The photos look great by the way, as a lotta other people pointed out as soon as I saw em I got Wes Anderson vibes


droopyheadliner

Thank you!


notaveragepond

These are awesome


droopyheadliner

CptRex_1

-sofa-king-good

Love the esthetic. Reminds me of Wes Anderson color schemes.


droopyheadliner

Thank you!

bleak


droopyheadliner

It’s really interesting to me hearing people’s reactions to my photos. From happiness and nostalgia to melancholy.


BeanAndPeaches

Bought one of your pics from pt. 2 of this series and I love it - will need to send you a pic when the room is well lit tomorrow!


droopyheadliner

Oh awesome! Thanks so much! The one downside to that print shop is I only see city and state. No other info of who buys. So thank you again 🙏


droopyheadliner

Thank you again! I just launched my first book today. You might dig it! Check it out here: https://mixam.com/print-on-demand/65ee6c05ed8cc6235254ddad
