Inspired by a friend in England

 

 

 

Starting to feel like winter

 

These photos were inspired by the warmth offered by my room when it is cold and grey outside. It is amazing to curl up in bed and read with the wonderful smell of sage burning in the shell a friend found on the beach in Hawaii.

La Defense - urban photography

 First urban photography experience. La Defense - Paris, France.

I went a bit heavy on the editing when I got home.

 

New project idea

For this series of photographs, I was interested in capturing movement. I am going to be printing all 81 images which will then be put on display as individual images in sequence. Here, it is easiest to show them in a sort of stop-motion form video. I will post a picture of the final project. 

Another batch of Long Exposure Photos

 A Thursday night band practice along the side of the Seine. The light was coming from fancy dinner boats as they floated down the river.

 This picture was taken late in the afternoon on a side street in Bordeaux. A friend and I were very lost but came upon this alley.

 When I was working on repairing an old house in Libourne (just north of Bordeaux) my friend Alex and I decided that we had to take a picture with the attic space of the building we were working on. This is one of the best photographs of the series. It still has a few light spots from reflection of light on the lens.

 A few nights ago, I had almost an entire roll of film still loaded, so I decided to go out (it was around 11:30) and take some long exposures using a flashlight. Of course, I promptly lost my flashlight. I took this photograph because I wanted to get at least one shot for the night. It wasn't what I was planning on doing, but the trees and the lines on the ground helped me get at least one photo that night!

 Left over from our first night of long exposures, this is Lizzy posing as I outline the edges in our hallway. I didn't expect her to be blurry but I kind of like it-it sets off the sharp, hard edges of the hallway and gives the photograph an eerie quality.

 Hannah and Colin are AMAZING models. They had to be completely still for over two minutes and there is almost no blurry edges. I have no idea how they do it.

This photograph was taken last year with Matt and Ben. I attempted to show movement and a short clip of a story in one frame. The scanned copy is not great quality but both of their faces have a nice, crisp quality.
