Inspiration

Two nights ago, I was in the darkroom again for the first time in quite awhile. Too long in fact. I was making a print for another photographer, and having to recall old skills and tricks to not only make the print breathe, but also to make it breathe the way he wanted it to, was harder then I remember. But like a bicycle, it all came back to me and soon enough we had our print, both he and I satisfied.

I was thinking on the way home from the printing, about printing and what and why I love it so much. Too much to list here, but I have posted three images from photographer Aaron Siskind, who was a early inspiration to me. I had seen a show of his work in Boston, without knowing who he was or what kind of work he made. The images resonated with me and to this day I can remember thinking in the gallery, that I wanted to make pictures that looked like this.

At the time I was in my second year of photo school and still trying to figure a lot of things out. Seeing these images not only gave me a frame of reference for what a picture could look like, but it also freed my mind up about what a picture can be. It can be simple and still convey emotions and feelings as good as any poem or portrait or great piece of music. I think over the next few days I will post more of my printing and photo hero's, it will be a good way for me to remember why all of this is so damn important to me anyway!

Thanks...

More to come from me soon. I am more excited about photography right now then I have been in a long time. Kelly and I will be working on projects together in the very near future, and I also have a few things burning right now for myself that I hope will be large leaps in my career. Stay tuned as always for updates and news...but in the mean time...just be

Friday

More new work, but this time posted from my brand new computer. quite a nice upgrade and the first big step toward starting up a bit more professional approach to photography. Maybe it will even make my photographs better!

more...

Well it's been an unexpectedly fun and busy week, so I haven't gotten around to posting up any new work, but the wait is over! More images from the Hampton beach trip. As I look at these, I am happy with the outcome and am surpriced to have so many images that I like from just one outing. Really makes me want to plan more time fr myself to devout to shooting new work. I will be going out with a camera over the next few weeks, and possibly getting back to some large format Black and White picture making...as always stay tuned and keep having fun!

"Bus"

"Hotel Sign"

Friday

A few more images from the Hampton Beach trip two weeks ago. This place was filled with so much character the images practically landed in your lap. This work is guided by my love of photographers such as Stephen Shore, William Eggleston, and many others who were able to turn very ordinary, mundane objects, into beautiful ones. Hopefully I have been able to carry on that tradition as well as keeping a subtle level of humor in my work.

Enjoy these three over the weekend, check out more about Stephen Shore and William Eggleston, and have some fun!

New Work!

My best girl and I recently traveled to the lovely town of Hampton Beach, NH for some shooting and laughs. We both returned with a great number of images and I will be sharing mine over the next few days/weeks.

Its the first time in awhile that I pushed any 35mm film through my camera and I have to say it went great! I will be shooting more with it and hope to have more to share soon! Stay tuned for more images from this series.

As always...enjoy.

Thursday

Here is an image from an older series of work of mine "Textures." I have been very much wanting to get back out and work in this style again. It is quiet and calming and somewhat like a meditation when I would be out working and looking for these images.

This image was the first time I really pulled back and viewed the whole scene instead of focusing on a detail. I will post more until I get some newer work scanned and put online! Enjoy and relax.

Glasshouse Images

I just recently became a member of Glasshouse Images Stock portfolio. I had been submitting groups of images to these folks for a few months now, and after a long trial period, they have accepted 10 of my images. I hope to submit and have a much larger portfolio with them over time, but for now im just excited!

Glasshouse Images is a stock photography website based in NYC that has a slight bend toward the more artistic. They feature much more interesting work than your typical stock website and give you the freedom to shoot in your own style and not have to sacrifice an interesting image for one that would merely sell. Two friends of mine also have work in their catalog, Aaron Joel Santos, and Stephen Sheffield. Stop by to check out all the great work they have on file!
