A photograph is an instrument of love and revelation that must see beneath the surfaces and record the qualities of nature and humanity which live in all things. Ansel Adams

Evidence


The object of this assignment was to take the title "evidence" and create what we thought of when using this word. So I took some of my friends, did their makeup, and had them be "dead" bodies at dump sites, the ultimate evidence.

I thank my friends dearly for helping me with this. It was a good deal of fun for me, and I truly appreciate you all.

Hopefully these images aren't too disturbing, but if you do not do well with "dead bodies" you may not enjoy these.

A 35mm film camera was used for these, and they were developed by hand and processed by hand in a dark room.

Pictorialism

Pictorialism is the name given to a photographic movement in vogue from around 1885 following the widespread introduction of the dry-plate process. It reached its height in the early years of the 20th century, and declined rapidly after 1914 after the widespread emergence of Modernism.

Pictorialism largely subscribed to the idea that art photography needed to emulate the painting and etching of the time.

The assignment was to create a series of highly pictorial photographs.

They were shot with a 120mm Holga camera, which by the way is a $15 plastic camera, then developed and processed by hand.

CALIFORN-I-A

Over the summer I took a trip to California and spent some time at DisneyLand, Sea World, and the San Diego Zoo. There aren't too many that I really love, but these are some of them.
