Images from a show I had with Angelina McCormick at La Petite Mort Gallery last night. The flowers and under things were shot with a Polaroid Bigshot portrait camera. The B&W I shot with a Hassleblad.
Mixed media mounts include original Polaroids, wood, epoxy, acrylic paint, and nails. The B&W prints were shown as silver gelatin prints produced by a paper negative.

"These photographs are artifacts of our emotional provocation tinged by fragility and doubt, and counterbalanced by our formal rigor and control. They play with and explore our need to make something physical and tactile. They are based on spaces, which dwell in our mind - our memory, fantasy, and reality. It is our expression of our relationship within the world we live."

I just spent an excellent week in Vancouver. Whilst I was there I purchased a Polaroid Big Shot. It takes some getting used to... exposure, framing, flash cubes, (thanks Alli!), processing times, film yanking, etc. These are some shots from my first roll that I thought were interesting.

Days of Summer/Haze of Winter





These photographs were taken with a slightly modified Diana F+ (the F stands for flash!) I took them nearly 6 months ago in the Azores. It was such a beautiful place and the thicker the winter gets the more I find myself trying to recall the things I saw there and how the sun felt. Usually, looking at pictures can help this process but somehow plastic lenses have a way of making things seem more like a dream and less like a memory.

This one's for the lovers.


I love these two.
Especially together.
See, it's like this: cinnamon is delicious on it's own, as is honey, but as someone pointed out to me yesterday, together they are mind blowing. And sexy.
