I’m in a good mood.

Just got some film back and i couldnt wait to share. All are Provia 400-2 (because im an idiot and didnt change my meter dial when I loaded an 11 dollar roll of film) they are also a bit desaturated when I uploaded them.

Craig on my roof during a great sunset in Boston. He has a really ill jacket.  This shot reminds me of Roy Ayers if you dont know Roy Ayers google him and PURCHASE “everybody loves the sunshine”.

Ronny (lol) as we line up for graduation. we didnt know what to do with that damn tassel, his face pretty much sums it up.  Graduation went pretty well and overall college was good to me, I met a lot of great people (like ronny) and I also had some pretty awesome professors as well. Peace out Emerson (Boston).

My brother in a Boston bar.  I dont know much about developing but what are those two blue stripes? they arent flares because i see them on a couple of my frames and they are constantly blue regardless of whats going on, I kind of hate them but i kind of love them, they remind me of the whole analogue film chemical process, i kind of think of them as a similar deal to sloppy borders or something. but they are right in the middle of my fucking shot. They arent desired but i dig em on this frame.

My, brother after the Boston bar….

At a pizza place somewhere on the east coast between Boston and NYC. outside was the most fierce rain storm ever.

Not part of the fierce rain storm, but i first came across this scene at night without my camera. I told myself that i would come back the day after in the early morning in hopes that it was still there. I got up at about 7am and went straight for it. It was still raining and pretty dark so i opened up all the way to an f2 to get that beautiful vignetting. Im convinced that the 28 summicron is just as crisp at f2 as it is at f16.

The frame made after the frame above…It is particularly difficult to focus on falling raindrops w/ a fully manual rangefinder, there will be more attempts next time it rains and i find a dark background to shoot raindrops against. it is almost June so im guessing my next try may be months away.

Someone left a drink on the ground from the night before…still around 7-7:15a. I know this sounds gross but i was tempted to try it just so i can tell people what kind of drink it was. it looked clean, buuut, that would have been a stupid decision, and a dirty one.

I couldn’t resist. Also at about 7:15am. Right as I made this frame some guy walked by me and mockingly said, “thats a great picture”. Who does that? I wish i knew what he looked like but i didn’t even give him a glance, asshole.
