MAS!


We always have a lot of fun.

Now I'm broke.

I have eight rolls of film to take in for development. Eight. I hope you're all happy...
The other day I had a really great time shooting medium format with Ren. Halfway into the roll we realized we had been double exposing everything! Ha ha ha ha. Luckily I also shot with the Yashica and a few other film cameras so I'm hoping we did something right! This Sunday I'm shooting Lauren and Ama and possibly shooting Anthony and Aleen on Wednesday. After these four I need to take a serious (financial) break and work on my paintings for April and my photoshop skills for the shots I've already done. Thanks for reading!

Tim and Caitlin.

The new year comes with some new thoughts. Last year was dedicated to capturing my friends in a stark and predictable manor. This year I wanted to see my friends in their homes surrounded by what makes them comfortable. The challenge I found in my first shoot was how to capture what's natural while still having somewhat of a posed 'sears' quality that I find campy and fun. I'm not a great director and that's something I'm going to try to work on. I'm also going to try to work with different cameras every time. I haven't worked with film in a long time and I'm happy to bring it back. For this set I used an Olympus OM10, one studio light and 160 speed color film. Soon I'll have a roll from my Yashika T4 of these same two.
