Photo IV 6 Sept 10


For All the World to See: Visual Culture and the Struggle for Civil Rights

May 21–September 12, 2010
From: The International Center For Photography, NY 

I found the movement and feel of the photo to be interesting, as well as bringing light to the situations of current America and the immigration debate that still burns in American society.

I find the look and feel of old film to be interesting and to some extent more believable than new digital photographs that look over saturated and fake.

Haunted: Contemporary Photography/Video/Performance

Mirror Piece I

I like the idea of this photo, the play with perspective and the connotations that mirrors create along with the fact that I find it to be simple and elegant.

There is something captivating about how this tree makes me feel, it may be its age, knowing that I can stand among a living forest that is over 3,000 years old.

From: American Racing, 2010 (continuing body of ongoing work)

Ilford HP5 35mm, shot on a 1952 Kodak Signet II

There lies in America a strange and intriguing subculture of racing, events like County Fairs, and private functions in places like the Bonneville Salt flats which host racing events that have no big celebrity or million dollar race teams just a group of enthusiast that get together to do what they love. This photo is of the York County Fair figure eight race in central Nebraska.

iPhone photo of a praying mantis

I chose this photo because I find it interesting how the shadow has become the subject, this photo came about because I was standing on my porch and this praying mantis almost landed on my head.
