How We Roll

While trying to shoot a project for Fundamentals (the last photo in my post from the skate park is the one I'm turning in) I made some photo's of my good friends Stuart and Anjali.

Driving for Photos with Anjali

Anjali and I went for a drive on the spur of the moment. I was just sitting around doing nothing and she gave me a ring and said we should go look for some pictures. We threw our gear in her backpack and went to go play. We got about 15 miles north of town on 63 and turned right where a state park was. We ended up at the Rocky Forest Lakes Conservation Area which was filled of pretty lakes and nothing else. We saw a car, but no other people. Anjali took some pictures of the lake, and in continuing on going theme I took pictures of my friends taking pictures. I was totally spread out on my belly on a gravel road when I shot this. Too bad the effort I put into it didn't make a prettier photo.



Then I drove for a bit. YES I DROVE! And we came upon a vast and empty shooting range. We were stoked because places like this are total photographic gold. The light was very bleak and now that I look at all of my pictures they all have the color palette of German contemporary photographers, which probably annoys me.







I was trying to shoot the little details of the destruction of gun culture. I think I captured it pretty well. I want to go back on a nicer day and see people actually shooting guns. Shooting guns is something I have done very little of, I bet it would scare me more than enthrall me.

Penny Marvel

A few times I have gone out and covered this local band Penny Marvel that I met through my friend Gina. They are a local band comprised of local musicians many of whom have have multiple other bands as well. They have agreed to be my final project for Fundamentals so I am posting a few shots I have taken so far.

First Intermediate

This is a picture I took with my Holga two summers ago. It was the cover of my high school's photo annual. It is actually two square frames printed onto one piece of paper. It was really tricky on my part. I really like the repetition of the themes from frame to frame. And it's complicated to look at even though the subjects are just children. There is also a lot of fun playfulness in it.

Skate Park

Another nice day means another trip to the Skate Park with Stuart and me taking pictures. Someone tagged the skate park with all these crazy little red dudes and they made it into all but one frame. The last shot will probably be used for my Human Cityscape project in Fundamentals, so if any of you photo-j kids out there have a comment send it my way.
