Some pictures from this
years Soundwalk.
Only in its second year, it's been a great success for
the East Village. It is a group show of different art
installations that use sound. Many installations had
mics that recorded ambient sound and compiled it to
create strange new environmental sounds.
Shea and Kamraan, two
of the organizers go over the map the morning of Soundwalk.
Frauke and her assistant
prepare an installation by Nina Waisman by spreading
a field of shredded newspapers to surround the piece.
It took a total of 40 hours to shred the newsapaper
for the piece.

Been shooting some slide
film....I've probably only shot about 10 rolls of slide
ever. I really love the poppy colors and can see why
people rave about it so much...

Some selects from the third
set of shooting. I spent the weekend out in Ventura
County photographing 3 families.

Some recent prints....the
first three are all from a pho restuarant on the corner
of MLK and Anaheim. I was shooting pics for a small
sample piece and needed a Vietnamese/Cambodian business
owner. The three photos were shot within a span of 10
minutes, lit just by the large front window.

Well...I've been really
busy. The shooting for Conduit is going well. I've done
two days of shooting for them and we're scheduling some
more. This next weekend, I'll be staying overnight with
a family to try to capture more intimate moments.
I've acquired a bit of
equipment the last few weeks. 2 softboxes. A Pelican
case for my Nikons. A 85mm 1.4, 50mm 1.4, 28mm 2.0 and
a 35-70mm 2.8 for the Nikons. All the lenses with the
exception of the zoom are manual focus lenses. The 85mm
1.4 is amazingly sharp wide open. The 50mm 1.4 is a
little soft and the 28mm 2.0 seems good through its
entire aperture range.
Just finished a darkroom
session...will post in the morning....

Got the film back from
the photoshoot. I'm pretty happy with the results. Here
are some of my faves.

8 rolls of film and about
$200 later, I've fine tuned and have gotten close to
that high key look i'm looking for.

Haven't updated in awhile,
but I've been shooting like crazy. This week I've been
testing color film for a pretty big photo job. I'm shooting
images for a non-profit's calendar and annual report.
They want something documentary style and they want
it in color. I'm fine tuning my lighting and color balancing,
things which don't come into play with black and white.
I made some prints in the
darkroom last night. A few more on the series on my
brother. These images were shot on the morning we dropped
him off at the airport to go back to Iraq.
Heartbreaking.
The other images is stuff
I printed because it was too depressing to print anything
else from that sereies.
