Onto other things, for now

As much as I want to post more work onto this blog, I’m finding myself busier and busier with my Free Portrait Project. It’s really been picking up since I launched the Facebook and Tumblr pages. If you want to give it a look, I’ve given the project the name “American Raw”, and it can be found HERE. 

If it sounds like something that you’re interested in, please don’t hesitate to send me a message. I would love to collaborate with all of you.

 

Cheers for now.

35mm Lensbaby & Double Exposures

I recently shot a roll of Fuji Superia 200 with my Canon Elan 7 trying to be as obscure as I could think of. So I brought a 50mm and the Lensbaby Sweet 35 Composer Pro optic. I really like the shot of Meredith with her face in the clouds.

Testing out some student grade film

As the title suggests, this photo was taken on student grade black and white film. Produced by the same company that is famous for Ilford products, Harmon Technology created this film as an affordable option. And at $2.50 a roll, I can’t complain. With good light, the film looks great. Here’s one of my dog Tucker.

Sean — medium format b&w film

As part of my ongoing Free Portrait Project, I took a photo of a local musician. This is Sean. He specializes in mashups & digital sampling.

A dog portrait — Expired 35mm color film

Sometimes when I get to the last few frames of a roll of film, I get so excited to develop the roll that I just start shooting random things. This is one of those times. Luckily, a cool portrait of my dog has emerged. Meet Tucker.

A New York Valentine

On February 13th, I woke up at 3 in the morning to catch an early flight to New York. After a quick layover in Denver, I landed in the big apple to spend the next few days with my lovely girlfriend. Even though my early childhood was spent living in Virginia, I had never made it to NY. Naturally, I brought a camera. Because of my style of photography, I only shot black and white film.

Please enjoy the New York experience through my eyes.
