As the title implies and as I have alluded to in the previous post on this blog, I have found a new love for slide film…
I have been distracted in other ways too (new glass for my Nikon), but 120mm Fujichrome is just so cool.

For any of you who might get a chuckle out of the title of this post I am sorry for the lost hours of your life that you will never get back (not really, it was fun). For everyone else, just know that I have been a little walkabout lately and have some street scenes to prove it. This post is a little all over the place, but hang tough and be rewarded. Hit the link to see what I have been doing the last few week or so…

For those of you who follow this blog extremely closely, you may remember seeing the above image a while back as part of a post I did when I received a Lens Baby. I liked the resulting Diptych style image so much I have been playing with the idea more…

I have been spending a lot of time lately in the darkroom developing film. There is something about the look and feel of film that can never be achieved with more contemporary and accessible digital technology. I could debate the differences and why one is superior to the other for hours, but I will save that for another post. This week I shot a few rolls on my Kodak Bantam. Lots of fun, and kind of odd images await those who dare venture fourth past the link below…

I have been playing with my new Lens Baby Muse for a few days now and have another round of images for all of you to see…
Diptych style image of the science lab building at nau. Making funky looking buildings attractive, gotta love it.

Twelve passengers with cameras blazing, fly down the Colorado River in a 16’ party boat. Although this has the appearance of just another spring break style trip it is anything but. The Tourists are not just capturing blurry snap shots of the fast moving water; but HD video of it, sharp still images and live blogging about the whole thing via 3G Internet service. This eclectic group of photographers, videographers, models, musicians and other creative types is a part of something bigger; they are, according to the mission statement on their website, collaboratively driving the cutting-edge of new media convergence. Pushing themselves and the artistic community to greater creative heights, while improving and sustaining their craft. This is The Visual Collective, a creative consortium, and they are constantly producing lots of great multimedia content for an eager Internet audience. Hit the link to read more… Continue reading
I spent the day in the photo lab at school digitizing some negatives. Most are from summer 2010, a few are from this spring, all are, in my opinion, fun. Although they may be grainy, have some spots and scratches, focus issues etc. Perhaps that is part of what gives film it’s life and unique feeling. Hit the link below the photo to see what I did this afternoon…
Industrial Composition. Flagstaff 2010. Canon AE-1.
A few days ago, I once again had the pleasure of shooting with the one and only Melissa Misfortune. For those of you who follow my work with any regularity you will remember her from my ‘heart in your hand‘ concept a few month back. This time, she provided a fabulously funky fruit filled fashion, I provided the crates and camera. Hit the link below the photo to read more and see the behind the scenes stuff, don’t forget to click the photos to see them full screen if you are having trouble viewing them (on a lap top for example)…
I spent the better part of this morning scanning some negatives and processing the images. Below are a few examples, all were taken within the last month either in the studio or on an adventure with thevisualCollective.

Yesterday I shot exercise #2b for my DLSR Cinematography class. The assignment prompt was to have the subject move from one light-source to another while the camera remained static (pans or tilts were allowed). Check out the finished product (below) and find out how it all went down (after the jump) from concept to completion in about 12 hours.
