TREE STACK:
Shot this yesterday while driving around trying to shoot a photo journ assignment.
Who wants to photograph people with artificial light when images like this are happening? Shot with a Canon 10D 1/180 @ f5.6.

PINK TRAILER:

I TURNED AROUND AND SAW THIS
...THE SWEET LIGHT!

KAPOW!!!
IT'S DINAH MIGHT:

Shot with a
Minolta SRT on Tri-X



1/125 @ f11.5 at Dorthea Dix Hospital in Raleigh.



Crucistars:
This is a cyanotype, created when I was in art school. It consists of confetti stars and 2 overlapping Kodaliths made from a single chrome of my stripper-on-a-cross series. ...Yes, she was a stripper and no, those are not real.

MOO!






Shot with
Canon 10D
on
a
foggy morning,
ISO 200
1/60
@
f11.5.

This is one of my many neighbors.
My Chuck Taylors:
Shot with a Sinar 4x5 view camera, Fuji Velvia chrome ISO 50, Speedotron Ferrell light, black card method of exposure @ f45. These bad boys are 14 years old... and yes, I still wear them.

PENELOPE BRUZ OF THE CAROLINA ROLLERGIRLS:
Shot with a Nikon D100
and a Vivitar 285. ISO 800, F5.6 and a half @ 1/15. Flash and drag isn't just for rockers, it's for rollers too! I panned the camera, I believe the flash was recycling so the output was low and accommodating.

ASPIRIN!
ASPIRIN!
Nikon D100, ISO 200, 1/60 @ f16, macro lens, Speedotron w/ light table and scrim. STARE AT THIS FOR 30 SECONDS AND LOOK AWAY!

AND NOW IT IS TIME FOR A COMMERCIAL PHOTO BREAK:
Shot with a Canon 10D, a green LED light, and a tripod on wheels. 4 seconds @ f11, ISO 200. LED light was bounced off of a reflector placed just below the phone, I opened the shutter and pushed the camera a few steps to the left. I did this one billion times trying to get the right light trail... I did Photoshop the screen of the phone. ...oh,yeah! I used a Speedotron, popped the strobe off at the beginning of the 4 second exposure, just enough to illuminate the phone but not light the black felt the phone was resting on.

CROSS/PUSH PROCESS:
Shot w/ a Minolta SRT that was acting up at 1/60 @ f16 on out-of-date Fuji Provia 100 chrome. Cross processed and pushed 2 stops for yummy color, hand printed and touched up with a red Prismacolor marker... work with what you have.
My inspiration this week: cross process.

BEACHED BABY SEAL:
On an Oregon beach, I don't know if the little guy made it or not. Shot with a friend's VOIGTLANDER BESSA-R rangefinder w/ a 17mm lens... I'm guessing I shot it at 1/125 @ f22. I was trying to saturate what little black there was in the scene with the exposure placement method.

THE HAUNTING:
Oakwood Cemetery in Raleigh NC. Canon AE-1, Kodak High Speed Infrared film ISO 50 w/ a Wratten #25 filter. Bracketed exposure and focus. This was shot back in the 90's when I was an art student @ Meredith
College in Raleigh before the corruption of photoshop.
TAKE NOTE DIGITAL JUNKIES, THIS WAS FILM!

DEAD SEA AT DAWN:
Shot during another camping trip in the Judaea Desert, Isreal. Shot with a Canon AE-1 f22 @ 1/60. Dawn at The Dead Sea seems to last F O R E V E R, especially when you are waiting for a tow-truck because your jeep broke down. Luckily, other campers let us use their "pellephone" and fed us hot turkish coffee and vanilla wafers.

SOUTHERNAUT:
Shot this during a camping trip to Short Sands Cove, Oregon. I used a Speed Graphic 4x5 press camera, 100 ISO T-MAX sheet film at f16 @ 1/60, and a monopod. I DO NOT recommend the use of sheet film nor monopods on the beach. It's cumbersome and there is no place to rest your camera while changing film holders... SANDY!

My lovely ASSistant, April. Shot w/ a 10D ISO 200 f16 @ 60.
SELF PROMO SET UP:
Sans me, some of my cameras, and a
Canon 10D set at 400 ISO, F16 @ 125.
Vivatar 285 w/ softbox,
pocket wizards, and a cardboard reflector. 10Ds do not have old school mechanical cable release screw holes,
subsequently, my lovely assistant had to press the trigger.
