Not Afraid of Falling

Listening to Trent Reznor and Adrian Belew, played loud. Drinking a fantastic red wine, and editing beautiful photos.

Glen Onoko

Revisiting some old work, this one is from July 2008, up in the falls around Glen Onoko near Jim Thorpe, PA.

I love combing back through the way-back archives. Hard to believe sometimes that I’ve been doing this so long. I was at a gathering of models and photographers back in 2008 in Joshua Tree, California and I think this was one of my favorite photos from that week. I was really loving the 3 distinctly different skin tones of Stephanie, Jazmine, and Mia and wanted to combine them all into a photo that captured a mood and this was exactly what I was looking for. Some kind of cross between Jock Sturges and Sally Mann. Two photographers I admire deeply.

Models: Stephanie Anne, Jazmine and Mia

Inversion Principle

i’ve been revisiting some old pieces, looking to pull together collections for some new books i’d like to publish and came across this lovely pose from Brooke. revisiting work years later always brings a fresh perspective, even if it is an old approach.

look for the book sometime near the end of the year.

Couldn’t Sleep

Alena - Coudn't Sleep — Alena – Coudn’t Sleep

this one goes back a bit to august 2010 (my gawd, 3 years ago?!?). i’d been thinking about it for a while, but it needed some post processing work and now i’m pretty happy with it. taken in Rossland, BC at my friend Michael’s place in the mountains.

Complications

so, i’ve been aware that i’ve had some 35mm Kodak P3200 film in my freezer for quite a while. some of the roles date back to the 2001-2003 time frame. i haven’t been holding onto them for any specific reason other than the fact that i don’t have a 35mm film camera anymore. but recently, Kaitlin came to visit me seeking help with a photography class she’s taking and she was using our friend Olaf’s 35mm Nikormat. i agreed to help her if she’d let me photograph her with this old film, just to see what we’d get.

one of the problems with this camera seemed to be that the film advance didn’t work that great and we wound up with a bunch of double exposures on the roll. some of them didn’t work out so great, but others, like this one, totally did.

keep in mind that the look here isn’t some digital “film grain” effect. this is the real deal. Kodak P3200 is a very high speed film and has really chunky grain structure that i love. i’m glad that these came out as nicely as they did and i’m happy to share them with you!
