Christmas!!

I had a wonderful Christmas. Here are some of the things I ended up with, out of the giant pile of great stuff that I got. I'm grateful and humbled by the generous hearts I am surrounded by.

The King and Queen of spice:


Check out my mezzaluna!


Mom rules... I'm so making paninis tomorrow.


Fajitas!!! Hell. Yes.


Ummm.... I have an island. That kicks so much fucking ass, I simply cannot tell you.


Merry Christmas everyone!

And the lovely Kelley with dawgs:

Happy Thanksgiving!

I know that basically no one follows my blog, especially when I go LONG periods without updating... but I'm going to start again just for the hell of it and because it makes for an interesting pictorial journal of sorts and is fun for me. Not to mention that I need to keep moving on this album publishing project so that the efforts of those who so generously donated are not in vain. So here I am! Let's get this fucker rollin!

Darkroom days are here again...

I finally stepped out of my digital world for about 7 hours today and went to the darkroom. Had a lot to do... only got a little done. BUT!! I did get to see the fruits of my agonizing labor from my last shoot with Kelley in January. She sends me a link to a digital infrared color photo one day asking what it is... I explain the whole infrared thing and how black and white infrared film is like no other, yada yada and my brain snaps and says "Yoooooouuuuu have to shoot infrared film". "By candlelight!" The voices in my head tell me to do much stranger shit than kill people, as you can clearly see. So, I go off and blow a wad of cash and nearly break myself in half building this giant contraption in time to do this shoot. It's ten tiers high and holds 30 tea or votive candles per shelf for a total of 300. (see below) This turned out to be BARELY enough light to do what I wanted. Here are the prints from today, following the shot of the tower:





From a Hasselblad 500c on Rollei black and white IR (ISO 400) 6x6cm



Both from Pentax 35mm on Rollei black and white IR (ISO 400) 35mm film

In My Place...

NEXT!!

Here are the next victims, waiting patiently for their demise...
