PHOTO JOURNAL

I set up this online photo journal in hopes that I may allow the world a glimpse of how and why I photograph the world the way I do.  As well as to analyze the photographs themselves... to show you the many effects of various types of film, black&white and color. But mainly this post is to show today's world my work as a photographer and artist. NOW ENJOY!!.....

A take on the absolute NORMAL...











 
















The Depth of Aperture...


 

Composition is a Constant...
   
     When shooting always try and compose the scene in the camera while looking through the view finder. Consider the individual elements that make up the scene. The positioning of things in or out of the frame can either make or break your image.  















Render Reflections


"Construct"

Year: ?
Location: L.A. area
Type: B&W Film (35mm)
Nikon F4


"Ghost trim"

Year: 2006
Location: Barber Shop
Type: B&W Film ( 35mm)
Camera: Canon EOS-1





     Work with natural reflections to compose a scene. Consider composing with reflections to show areas that are otherwise outside of the scene.



The Folly of Film


 
Year: 2008
Location: Griffith Park Observatory
Type: B&W Film (120 medium format)
Camera: Mamiya RB67


       Film blemishes aren't always a bad thing and not all "bad" film should be tossed to the side so quickly. Examine the burnt edges and lights leaks not for what they are but for the aesthetic appeal they may add to a photo, occasionally drastically changing the mood of an image.





"three trees reach"




Year: 2005
Location: Canoga Park HS
Type: B&W Film (35mm)

There was no intent for these photos other then to photograph my surroundings. This was taken at a time when I just began to try and conceptualize the world around me in black and white. Its quite hard to have an image or idea in your head trying to imagine how the image will be exposed before even taking the shot. Whats one of the most photographed things? Simple, the sky. When taking a shot outside on location somewhere the sky just can't be avoided in many cases. Its best working with your surroundings. Its very displeasing when shooting in B&W to have a all white over-exposed sky. When the sky is blown out in photos it leaves empty spaces with little or no detail with nothing to look at. Having a correctly exposed sky is much more pleasing to the eye. Having tonality throughout a B&W image gives the image more contrast. This can be achieved in many ways, but the most important thing is to consider the exposure of the sky when shooting....
