So I meant to post yesterday but it didn't happen so here's a sample of what's to come. I found a few images on a CF card that i completely forgot about...Anyway, I don't know how much value they have. I'll post more later tonight. 

It's storming outside

So I promised myself I would also update my own blog as well as prepare images for Sunday and Wednesday, which by the way, you should check out. It's something that I'm really enthusiastic about supporting. I encourage what it's promoting. This essentially being the sharing of art, ideas and inspiration. This forum for artists also really promotes the continual creation of new art.Motivation can sometimes be very hard to come by at times and by updating every Sunday and Wednesday, you are continually motivated to keep shooting and producing new work in order to share. Collaboration can be a wonderful thing, so can sharing, and lookie at us, we're sharing ideeeeeeas. Anyway, be sure to check it out...and leave feedback!

But of course don't forget about me!

So today i scanned two new rolls of film that i shot recently. I haven't been getting out and shooting as much because i am editing too much. Gotta knock that off. Things will hopefully pick up around here because with the help of my loving supportive parents, i am now up and running on a lightning fast new Mac. 

So keep a look out for more work!

So here's just a couple for today.

my new typewriter ^

Til' next time! Cheers!

Ho hum

So i'm sitting in the labs, and i feel i should update. I'm feeling pretty mopey today. Maybe it's just all the rain. So the pictures i'll post were not taken by me. They were taken by a Mr. Dan Hughes when he was doing portraits. They were test shots taken on 4x5 polaroid. So, i scanned them and i manipulated them a bit. I'll post the original image, then the negative, then what i created from them. I think they're pretty interesting.

Also, I am buying a new computer soon so there will be no excuse for me not to update often. I'm slowly breaking my dependence on the school facilities.









What do you think?




Oh and for good measure, here's an image that i actually took.

WELL WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE

I made pictures like this.

And the only lights we had were fireflies in the night. 

Those were wonderful times.

Majestic

Sometimes i like to go into the studio and play. I was interested in the way the glove fell so graciously through the air. *edit* I completely forgot to mention that i plan on trying this again. I actually wasn't able to get what i originally wanted when the idea came to mind. 

You know...i haven't really been asking specifically for feedback but i really would love it. I have no idea who is reading this or if anyone is reading it at all. Just tell me what you think. Think it's bullshit? Think my work makes your eye's bleed? Tell me..because how else would i know?

A bunch of shirtless guys and two ladies

Chris

Okay so I started taking these pictures at the beginning of the semester. I'm not really sure what i was doing or what i was trying to say. I have had discussions about these images making the subject seem vulnerable or possibly about catching the subject "between moments." To be quite honest, i don't know. I'm not sure if i will continue them or whether it was strictly about the process of creating them. Maybe it was just stepping out of my comfort zone.

Nate

Rob

Michael

Maegan

Amanda

Evan

Maegan really doesn't fit with the rest. She is the only person who is actually addressing the camera. Chris is probably the most successful out of the group. It was suggested i should try to get some girls to actually pose topless in the same fashion as the guys. I was willing to attempt this if i was able to find willing models but i already feel that it completely changes it into something so much more sexual than i want it to be. Maybe this summer i'll attempt it. 

I'll be posting something completely different later this week. Cheers!

oh dear!

Oh dear! Oh my! It's been almost a month since I've posted! I AM SO SORRY. I've been really busy with... you know... making sure i was going to graduate and all. SO now that that's done (which i did) I am now working for the summer. Still located in Rochester working on campus. I'll be working about 35-40 hours a week. I'm mostly staying because of my lease which extends through the summer, as well as the ability to still have a job and use the school's facilities. Lovely. Anyway, I'm going to be photographing a lot this summer (still Hasselblad, so many more squares to come) and working on my series that i created in London (which has yet to be named). I still have about half of what i shot to be scanned so I'll be working my way through it. Come Fall, i am heading to NYC and will be living there for an extended period of time. I am also planning a week which i will be driving to Missouri and photographing along the way.

Busy busy busy. So it goes...

So here's a few more images from London. I've edited up quite a few of these and ran some test prints and boy am i excited. You should be too! (I'm okay with it if you're not)





















SO tomorrow I am going to post something completely different. I'll update with the rest of those guys not wearing shirts.

SO until then! Farewell and have a lovely day.
