Waiting

This woman has been waiting to meet with an interviewer for over an hour. I photographed her for my large format assignment.

Self Portrait

This was after I had finished a drawing that took several hours. I felt very proud and accomplished. This image inspires me to create more handsome works of art.

Mordancage

These are some images I processed using Mordancage. Three of them are from paper negatives can you tell witch one was made with film. Hint: theses specific prints were all made from paper negatives, but one was contact printed, then a paper negative was made from that and then another contact print from that paper negative, complicated and fun.  

Peggy Sue

I found a live video of Buddy Holly and the Crickets on you tube. It's amazing to watch him perform. He looks so loose and relaxed. Not sure where they have the microphone for recording; I think it might be on the camera. What a time to live in...............

Redefining Webster

I turned these in for a lighting assignment. We had five words that we had to define with a photograph. Can you guess what each of them is?

Homemade Emulsion

Over the summer I mixed up my own liquid photo emulsion. I also enjoy pinhole photography. So I put the two together, and went at it. I coated the emulsion on glass, and made my own pinhole camera to fit the glass negative. Who knew cutting glass was so difficult? I was left with some small broken pieces so I coated them as well. If you can imagine an Altoid tin, 

about 1.5 x 3 inches, the elephant image is smaller than that. 

I didn't realize how frustrated I was going to be. It's been tough, but that makes it that much more rewarding.
