here are some more images that i made over the course of a month or so. I threw in some Tri-x for old times sake. The color images are on fuji astia. i was told it held warmer tones than velvia and was not as neutral as provia.  I guess i was hoping that it was something like ektachrome  but i was mistaken.  Anyway thats it for now, my life is pretty standard, no great news and no bad news. I need to put together a portfolio like rob did. i dont know how to go about it, should i have a “portraits” portfolio and a “streets” portfolio or should i integrate them? right now i think that i want to make a portrait portfolio. I think i have enough right now to fill 15-20 pages. on with the viewing….

This was one of those “i gotta shoot that” moments…Los Angeles is a very colorful city.

I really like unintended outcomes. provia? velvia? Ektachrome? definitely 100speed.  This image is ektachrome….

it was windy and orange outside. this was moments before the sun dropped below the horizon.This is Ektachrome.

definitely at a somewhere between a two and a two eight. This is Ektachrome.

Boston airport at like 5am. ROB, i have determined that the blue streaks are flares up in my lens. I dont think its the processing unless the film got flashed when taken out of the canister, but i dunno if thats it. it aint a light leak in my camera because the streaks are not that consistent. Also, im not using a hood because it blocks a quarter of my viewfinder. This is Velvia.

RED! and some wack tags. This is Ektachrome.

good night for now. i work from 10am to 7 or 8pm in the radical music video world. it aint glitz and glam but its cool and creative and i get free lunch.

good nizzle.

Clay

June 6, 2007

Here are some photos of my friend Clay. In Boston he lived in apt 3 while i was living in 32. I would see him and his roommates all the time up on the roof just hangin out. One afternoon he and I just kicked it for about an hour drinking and talking shit. He’s a real cool kid with alot of skateboard wounds. The last time I saw him i gave him a wiffel ball and bat in exchange for helping me move my box spring out of my apartment at 3:30am. He refused to help me because he said going up and down the stairs a that particular moment in time would have been a risk to his life, let alone helping me move an awkward object. He made a wise decision. It looked like he had just taken a hit of acid and did not need to be carrying oblong furniture down a narrow set of stairs. So I gave him the plastic bat and ball out of the good in my heart because i knew he would use it. Plus i had to get rid of it anyway because i was moving out.

Provia 100 during golden hour.
