semi...

Semi sweet is a band that I shoot photos for. I always like to change their name is posts, semi sour, semi full, semi confused... This photoshoot was for their new album cover. The album is called bitter sweet or something like that, so the whole idea was ants crawling on a lollipop. When we realized we wouldnt be able to find ants we ordered some offline. But leave it up to cassie to order RED fire ants! Oh well it went fine, infact it turned out great. Ill post the photos for the album in a couple weeks when they release it. I shot the cover with my nikon d70 on macro but also brought along my yashica for fun. These were the shots I took on the side.

out of date

a little expired film goes a long way. kevin works the milk man shift, i know what your thinking... there are still milk men? Answer is yes, he works from 12am-7am and delivers milk to houses and business. During the night he finds a good amount of what we call "treasures." Last month he found us two old trunks, and an old vintage gold mirror. AND a box full of expired 120 film. If i could describe my very own treasure chest it would indeed be filled with film. maybe not expired, but i enjoy the effect.

disposable cameras give me that vintage look that i usually photoshop into photos.

Alley Rally

I recently got a job at The Alley Restaurant and Bar as their resident photographer for friday and saturday nights. Here is a glimpse at some photos.

im happy.

simple as that, and simply said.
i remember this feeling, this smile,
this beat.
itd been a while since i noticed,
or cared to pay attention to my own sanity.
i was painting over the broken seams.
covering the loss with what i gained,
in an attempt to pretend he could ever
touch me the way he did.
he touches my mind in a way no
philosopher could ever explain.
dessa said it perfectly.
"youve been here before, you know where it goes,
it goes down.
youve already been here before,
you already know where it goes.
You choose this.
You know this."

winter time green grass

The cold air has blown west and the waves have gained motion like momentum on a iced highway. The motivation I find in the days setting sun has set forth and put me in drive. I developed three rolls, and have 5 more to develop. I found my lost love for film. Though the money hasnt found the appreciation for it yet. It has been a good two years since Ive been to pick up a roll of processed film. I was eccentric.
