Photograph Post III

Nikon N75 28mm Kodak Gold 100 

This is the laundromat around the block from my apartment. I try to disturb my surroundings as little as possible, both in my compositions and in everyday situations. The way I treat my art of any kind affects the way I live my life, sometimes enhancing and other times making things harder for myself. But what would life be like without struggle?

Medicine for Melancholy

A love story of bikes and one-night stands told through two African-American twenty-somethings dealing with issues of class, identity, and the evolving conundrum of being a minority in rapidly gentrifying San Francisco-a city with the smallest proportional black population of any other major American city.

Photographs by Ed Templeton

Ed Templeton's photographs are a prime example of what I'm interested in.  He shoots people (something I am trying to do more of.) and objects such as road kill.  I feel this series conveys a sort of observational documentary aesthetic that intrigues me both in still photography and motion picture.  These photographs have a southern feel that are unmistakable.

Photograph Post I

Nikon N75 50mm Kodak Gold 100

I'd like to start posting a photograph a week, whether its one of my own or someone else's that I'm fond of.  Today I am posting one of my own.  This photograph was shot in a junk yard in the small town of Port Jervis, NY, situated in western New York state close New Jersey and Pennsylvania in the southern edge of the Catskill Mountains.  I am interested in still life environmental subjects, environmental as in observing surroundings, symmetry seems to be a theme as well.
