Central Park, 2008
I just discovered a couple of rolls of film from 2008 that I developed but never actually looked at. Crazy, right?
These were from around the time I was working on The unified theory of absolutely everything. I’m going to have to go back and see if I missed anything else, and probably re-edit that portfolio.
20th Street and 3rd Avenue
As you may have noticed, I have changed my focus in the last couple of weeks from the natural landscape to an urban one. Summer seems like a natural time to get started on a couple of side projects I’ve been thinking about. The first of these is an exploration of the neighborhoods along the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, which happens to pass near my house.
Tools and Work
I made the mistake of thinking that a camera would improve my photographs and it is starting to make me a little bitter.
I have been shooting 6×6 medium format almost exclusively for the last two years and, looking back, I think I was starting to get a little restless. This seems to happen to me pretty often. I started working with color film again over the winter after a long hiatus and was beginning to flesh out a some ideas for a new project. Everything was clicking and I was very happy with my progress for the first couple of months.
Printing up a storm
This is just a small sample of what it looks like in my house when I get to printing. After experimenting with several different papers, I finally settled on Moab Entrada Bright White for this photo. (Top row, third from the left). Now that I have settled that question, printing of the edition has commenced and the first batch will be shipping tomorrow.
