Disposition

Disposition Series photographs that correspond with Disposition: Home Video Retrospection video piece will be shown at "i am home" exhibition at The Sarasota Art Center and will run from May 20th to July 9th.

I am feeling a little distanced from everything these days, but am excited to move again into our new place and purge most of my possessions. I just want to have the environment, time, and devotion to photograph, shoot video, watch films, read new and exciting things, study, research, sort, organize, & create an amazing website.

first thesis image

This is the first of four final photographs that will correspond with my video piece. It was shot in my hometown, Lakeland at carter road park. Thanks to Blake for making these images at all possible. Bike trailin it with a 4 x 5, it sure wasn't easy. But I'm quite happy with the result of all that sweat and sneezing.

color negatives: independent study

They still need a tremendous amount of work put into them, but I'm choosing 4 of these to be grouped with my silver gelatin prints (hoping for 6 of those!) for my exhibition in April. The independent study is going smoothly and I'm definitely glad to have my negatives coming back nicely so it won't be too much trouble getting things edited & finished looking- just gotta get out those newton rings. And frame them. And mount them. And matte them. And not loose my mind finishing the billions of things I still have to do......ahhhh.

the creek.

These are preliminary scans of positives taken in Texas, down at the dirt road from the camp. The creek was a place I visited constantly in my childhood. I don't know how many times I nearly got stung by bees in the first photograph. I am certainly glad to be shooting 4x5, and with black & white polaroid 55 film. Its so unfortunate to be shooting the absolute last of that, feeling as though it's the very last time. More than anything, I wish I could just go to the darkroom right now.
