Division.
Division. (Washington, DC) - Self-reflection in the house. Polaroid SX-70.
With State College safely behind, I finally feel like the tires have hit the road, the duck has flown, the lobster has been eaten… this is it. Do or die.
For those of you following for a while, here is an update: I have quit the day job and have now taken up commercial and personal photography full-time on the Hill in Washington, DC. What is surprising is the ratio of time spent doing actual photography to working the business - I would say it is close to 20% shooting and 80% administration/communication. I have also taken up a part-time job at a local bike shop (Capitol Hill Bikes), which has really been great. What can I say? Life is good, one day at a time, and the front-facing camera is a much better view than the back-facing one.
I don’t know at what conscious-level this occurred, but after being here for two months, I feel like today is the first day beyond the honeymoon phase of being here in DC. I raised my photo rates today, I have been contacting new leads, and a fresh wind has come into my head regarding art and photography. I feel the roots heading down, down, down, where before I was fighting this downward growth tooth-and-nail in Central PA. Not that there was anything wrong with that region necessarily, but it never felt like DC feels now…
…Like home.
Land of Waters.
Land of Waters (Domaine Poutrincourt, Canada) - Oh Canada, you will be missed. Just the memories of lakes full of fish and stomachs full of beer to last us for now. We will let this summer go by without seeing the aurora nor the moose tracks in the sand, and we let the walleye grow fatter for the next year. Leica R5, Leica 35mm f/2.
Summertime.
Summertime (Avalon, NJ) - Another memory of summer. From last year. Lomo LC-A, Fuji Provia 400 Slide Film (cross-processed).
Non/composition.
Non/composition (State College, PA) - Twice run film through an Lomo LC-A, on cross-processed on Kodak 400VS. Composition happened by formulated chance.
Signal/Response.
Signal/Response (Washington, DC) - I am intrigued by museum/gallery layouts and how art is cased against white walls, other art present, and lighting. In other words, I want this photograph to inaccurately represent what the curators intended to be seen in the museum. Taken with one of my favorite cameras (yet frustratingly light-leaking and broken), the Rollei Magic II, on Kodak 400V film.
