New Photos
So much for not posting new work for a little while! These photos make me happy and I wanted to get them out into the world. Maybe I’ve been over-thinking it, and in the end, that’s all there is to it?
Editing
Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, Queens, New York
It’s a topic that has been discussed a million times, but just for my own sake I’ll say it again: editing is hard. It might be the most difficult thing we, as photographers, have to do. It’s a long process that starts before we even take our first picture and continues right up until we finally decide that the work is complete. And then, more than likely, you shuffle things around one more time for good measure.
Outer Lands
Mill Basin, Brooklyn, from the series Outer Lands
Today is the winter solstice—the longest night of the year. Many cultures treat the solstice as a holiday, a tradition which dates back to ancient times. It is no coincidence that many contemporary holidays also take place in late December, and that many of those holidays involve lights and candles. While it is dark outside, I hope you are keeping warm and sharing time with loved ones.
October Polaroids
Hanson Place
I have been using the SX-70 quite a bit lately. Here are a few more Polaroids from the last week or so. It is interesting to me how the seasons creep in, just last week felt like summer and now there are dead leaves on the ground and the sun is hiding by 5:30. So it goes.
More Polaroids
South Portland Avenue
It’s been a good week for the Polaroid pictures, which is good, because I’m running out of film. I have been slowly but surely fine-tuning my gallery of Brooklyn Polaroid images, with a focus on a tighter edit and also thinking quite a bit about sequence. I think I need about a dozen more images and then I’ll be ready to make one of these.
