Autobiography
My friend Emily said this image is “very autobiographical.” I’m not exactly sure what she meant or how I feel about it.
Guitars
No post for three months and then two days in a row. Don’t get used to it.
A while back I posted about my love for guitars. Since then I’ve added a couple guitars to my collection and believe me, it’s a challenge not to stop in and see what’s new every time I drive by Rocker’s Guitars. And since I can’t seem to play them very well, I decided to put them to use in other ways and started photographing them. I’m not really a still life or product photographer, so this was a new experience for me.
Still Here
Yes, I am still here. It’s been a while since my last blog post. I’ve been working on a non-photography project quite a bit lately and now that project is underway I’m ready to get back to the photography blog. I’ve got a few photography projects I’ve been working on and some I’m about to begin as well that I’m hoping to write about here soon.
Viisual Pro
I now have a portfolio up on ViisualPro. ViisualPro (yes, there are two i’s) is a cool portfolio website with a great selection of photographers. It’s not like other websites that accepts anyone who wants to put up a portfolio. Here is their approach:
Mom Polaroid
Here’s another Polaroid I took, this time of my mom at her condo in Aptos.
As I’m working on these Polaroid scans, I realize, to get these shots I’m carrying around this fairly cumbersome camera (Mamiya RZ67-II) and ending up with a scanned photo not much better resolution than that of a camera phone… in fact, I think my iPhone takes sharper pictures when comparing the scans. But still, there’s something about the look of the Polaroid that I like. I’ve always thought sharpness was overrated anyway. One thing I don’t like about digital is that most images come out clinically sharp. I like a little softness in images.
