Rachel
This is from my shoot with Rachel Petrillo a couple months ago. Rachel is a musician in the process of recording an album, and these photos will likely be part of the artwork. I did a mixture of digital and film. Most of the film ones I already posted on my …

Polaroid Week – Day 5
The struggles with ATZ continue. I’m not really happy with my final entries for Polaroid Week, but such is the nature of the beast. ATZ wasn’t necessarily the problem. I think I just had a hard time finding things to take photos of. I had one really good photo …

Polaroid Week – Day 4
This is my friend Anna. She likes to knit things like ice cream hats and baby Chuck Taylor shoes. She will celebrate anything and everything that she can.
I intended to have more shots for today, but the Polaroid gods were not working in my favor today, and I ended up …

Polaroid Week – Day 3
I decided to take a break from Faces for Polaroid Week. It will probably be back tomorrow.
Also, tomorrow I’m planning on going out and shooting my first pack of TZ Artistic film. I’m so nervous! At nearly $30 a pack for only 8 shots, it’s a bit scary to shoot with.

Polaroid Week – Day 2
This is Allison. Allison is another frenger I met from working at Whole Foods. I meet some interesting people that way. Allison is a songwriter. We both met Annie Clark of St. Vincent at the same time and were quite starstruck. I randomly ran in to Allison yesterday …

Polaroid Week – Day 1
Well, Polaroid Week 2009 is starting up again. It feels like yesterday we just had the last Polaroid Week, but I’m definitely not complaining.
This photo was taken about a week ago. Her name is Tiara. She works at Bongo Java, one of my favorite coffee shops in …

Is photography dead?
I recently read an interesting article on Newsweek entitled “Is Photography Dead?” It’s an old article, but still felt very relevant. Such a title already grabbed me with interest. What could the author be getting at? Obviously photography is alive and well, and …

Finally decided to share these
These 3 photos I had been holding for a while to use for my portraits series, but I recently decided to focus the series a lot more and narrow down what will make it and what won’t. These 3 didn’t fit my new criteria, so I’m finally able to share them. I’m a …

My trip through time and space
2 weeks ago I was in Guam. It literally is a trip through time and space. As you fly West over the Pacific, the time keeps falling back hour by hour, until you hit the International Date Line, at which point you jump ahead a day. I’ve got a lot of family who live …

This is Rachel. We had a shoot yesterday. I took 4 cameras with me. Digital, medium format, 35mm, and Polaroid. These are from the Polaroid. More from the other cameras to come.

I love film
These scans really don’t do the photos any justice.
Taken with my Mamiya C33 TLR and Ilford Delta ISO 400 b&w film.
I have more, but they are going to be part of my portraits series I’m doing, which will be revealed some time in the future.

Why would someone want to scam me?
You may have followed this story with me on my Twitter. Anyone who’s listed anything on Craigslist has probably had a similar encounter. You get an email that seems innocent enough at first.
Hello am interested in your item let me know if is still available
Sure, the …

Restlessness breeds clarity
I’m awful at being patient. I had a conversation recently with the lovely Allister Ann about this topic and it’s had me thinking. I think the reason I feel so restless right now is because I thrive on change. Or perhaps more accurately, progress. Certainly I’ve …

Wilco (The Album)
I suggest listening to this album while driving with the windows down and a good friend in the passenger seat.
I was reading one particular review of the new album, and I felt like it expressed exactly why I think I’ve connected with Wilco so much since Sky Blue …

Grant and Jayne Litton
Grant and Jayne are a great couple and I had a lot of fun shooting this wedding. Rain clouds were hovering over us all day, but luckily they cleared up when we needed them to. Nothin’ like an ol’ Kentucky wedding.

Polaroid week ‘09
This week is Polaroid Week.
I find myself struggling with my own artistic vision and desire for my future. I just shot a wedding this past weekend and I of course shot digital. And now, here I am spending a ton of time trying to make them look good. Really, it’s just …
