35mm Film in a Brownie Junior Six-20

I get these creative impulses sometimes where the thought of trying one specific thing becomes a bit of an obsession. I had this feeling a few weeks ago - I wanted to load 35mm film in to an old Brownie I had around the house, which usually loads 620 film - a format that isn't … Continue reading 35mm Film in a Brownie Junior Six-20 →

Epson Perfection V600

I used to be a musician and always resisted the temptation to fall in to the mentality of 'gear head' - someone who over-collects gear and tech to enhance their art just by means of having compared to those who do not have. In my photography, I try very hard to fall in to this … Continue reading Epson Perfection V600 →

Photo Set: Plant Life

Many of my images in the middle of my film rolls consist of flora and fauna. I walk to work almost every day and always try to photograph things that are interesting to me, and in most cases it's the plants I pass. Plant images show up between 'events' in my life - when I … Continue reading Photo Set: Plant Life →

Glitch Experiments

Attended an event this weekend called Art-Tech Experience: Chaos Theory. Part art show and part live performance, these regular events showcase artists that use technology to push their art. The show was the inspiration for this photo set - digital pictures which I glitched using Notepad++. I didn't want to wait around to set up … Continue reading Glitch Experiments →

I wanted to get in a few more traditional dance shots and then mix in some more experimental work with lighting. The session was divided in to 3 segments - first, a daytime outdoor … Continue reading Portrait Session – Rachael, pt. 2 →

Olympus XA

I've been doing research on point-and-shoot film cameras and range finders for a few months, and after going back and forth on a few separate camera models finally decided to pull the trigger on purchasing an Olympus XA. I wanted something compact and easy to use, with a few features to aid shooting. Something that … Continue reading Olympus XA →

Portrait Session – Garrett

I liked the black-metal-mood of my last set of photos, the ones with the flooded river. Even a month later the waters are still high, and I learned today that up in Duluth, Lake Superior is at its record height. Just some facts about local waters, not particularly relevant but I like the flooded aesthetic … Continue reading Portrait Session – Garrett →

Riverside Flooding

Flooding on the Mississippi River - a true Minnesota spring, occasionally punctuated with cold wet rain and occasionally a surprise spot of ice and snow. I've been reading about and listening to a lot of black and death metal lately, which if I had a purposeful photographic aesthetic, I would say these atmospheric river and … Continue reading Riverside Flooding →

Still Life 1

Practicing different lighting techniques & angles in my living room with a few still life photos of things around my apartment. I tried to start by using only one object at a time, but found it boring so started stacking and combining them. Overall, happy with the results. I had some exposure issues, something that … Continue reading Still Life 1 →
