One Retro Kitchen

I have FINALLY scanned my final project from Experimental last semester. My basic process was to first photograph traditional kitchen items in the studio. I used 35mm film to keep things simple. I made 8x10 prints of the negatives. Onto these prints I transferred advertisements from the 1950's and 60's (into the background only). Then I used oil-based paint and colored pencils to hand color the images.

Here is my artist statement:

And finally, the images!

Cat in Walkerville

Right now I'm in Butte on a fieldtrip with a photo class! I'd never been here before and it's definitely more interesting than i had given it credit for. I'm mostly shooting film with the Holga but when I saw this cat just looking at us I pulled out my phone. Hopefully I will get my Holga shots scanned and up here soon!

Experimental Final

This was when my final project for Experimental last semester was still a work in progress... I will eventually manage to scan them and post decent images of the whole series!

Fatigued

I just came across some images on my cell phone taken this summer at Coney Island. It's got 5 megapixels; these are unedited and straight off the phone. Unfortunately I have to post them one at a time with this app I'm using... so a few more posts are in the works!

Finally, More Experimental Scans

Scans from Experimental

I'm trying to be better about scanning my non-digital work, and this semester's Experimental class has helped keep me on top of it since none of the processes are done digitally. More to come!

NYC Pride: Views From a Fire Escape

The following is a sample of some of the shots I got from my fire escape on Christopher Street of NYC Gay Pride Parade 2010.

More Scotland

A statue in Glasgow outside the Gallery of Modern Art.

After years of black and white photography, I am finally beginning to notice color and how it can add to a photograph. This was a boat in the harbor with the Royal Yacht Britannia. http://www.royalyachtbritannia.co.uk/history/gallery/1/ for those of you who are interested.

Not one of my favorites...  Street shooting in Edinburgh.

Another shot on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. We ate at the White Hart Inn right near where this shot was taken. It's a pub that has been around since at least the 1500's.

The edge of Edinburgh Castle.

This is a view from the balcony of the Camera Obscura in Edinburgh. I wanted to see the Camera Obscura again because the first time I went I was too young to really understand why it was interesting. Having spent this semester learning the early history of photography I was able to really appreciate the magic of it.

On our way to Dunnotar Castle. We parked in the town of Stonehaven and hiked a few miles away to the ruins. But more of that later.

Another view of Stonehaven, this time showing some of the harbor. After the castle we ate lunch on the harbor.

More of the Stonehaven Harbor. I like the reflection in this shot but the composition is obviously lacking.

A silhouetted World War Two memorial on the way to Dunnotar Castle.

Dunnotar Castle.

The harbor next to Dunnotar Castle.

I have some more editing to do and am also working on a panoramic of Dunnotar castle and the surrounding sea/landscape.

Scotland Photos

These are some shots from my recent trip to Scotland. I stayed in St. Andrews but did some travelling as well.
This was about a mile outside the center of the town of St. Andrews.

Part of the University of St. Andrews campus, which is pretty much mixed in with the town.

More to come!
