Getting it Done

Saw this family in Kensington Market. That little guy is all business.

Stream of Lights - NY a Tourist's View

Recently went to New York for the first time. I'm still waiting for my film to get developed but I took 13 digital shots and I feel they do a good job of relaying the gritty and electric night-time energy of the city.

Film shots soon.

NXNE

After the first day I was done in but I had no idea how much things had yet to ramp up... not the slightest.

The shows got louder, the people got drunker and the city, wet with sticky heat, burned in electric fire. After 72 hours of drugs, beer, screaming, and music the people were tweaking with manic energy and still begging for more. Grimey, beer-soaked sexuality steamed within the crowds and, inside it, I undertook one of the most intense photographic episodes, craziest weekends, and overly excessive binges of my life.

Photographing for NXNE. 38 bands, 3 days, and 1 paper-towel diffuser.

Polaroid Thursday: NXNE COMING!

Darkroom Fumblings

I spent my first afternoon in the darkroom. Unloading the film in the perfect darkness was terrifying. My roll survived though and after 40 minutes of pouring, agitating, and dumping I felt like a craftsman for the first time. I feel more connected somehow. I guess a strengthening of the bond between me and the process. Thanks Stina.
