Lighthouse

There are these small houses right next to the art building at school; nothing too extraordinary. However, one day our photo class was outside doing some shooting and I noticed it. The sun was sitting in just the right position to reflect off the siding of one of the little homes back onto the other, creating an unusual glow. It was as if a powerful beauty had descended onto these most common and ordinary places. It seemed like an incredible transformation of place and space.

A Plethora of Portraits

I've been on a shooting spree of portraits lately. One large project has been photographing the GC Art Department. We needed some new shots for our website. Some of my other portraits came from a need to just do some shooting. I've been pretty bogged down with classes and schoolwork; I just needed to set things aside for a bit and get back to my camera.

To find out more about how the group shot came together, click HERE. It might not be what you expected at first.

Unforeseen Visions, 2007

This is one of a small collection of photograms with mordancage. I created them along with my Photo class at Georgetown College. It's always a fun, exciting, and mysterious project to do with students; revealing some of the power in traditional wet-darkroom work.

Pinhole Self-Portrait

This is an image produced as an example in my Photography class. We are building and shooting pinhole cameras, editing the negatives in Photoshop, and printing paper negatives for contact printing on traditional silver gelatin paper.

Lock No. 7

Matt and I went for a ride recently to High Bridge and then down to the lock on the Kentucky River. Click HERE or on the image above to see more photographs of this interesting place.

Lake Drive-In Theater, Celina, OH

While in Celina last weekend, I had the opportunity to walk down the road to the drive-in and shoot a little. It was a nice evening; quiet. It's amazing, the place still runs two shows back-to-back every weekend during the summer.

Elkhorn Creek, Below Weisengerger Mill

Another photograph I worked on recently of the Elkhorn Creek, just below Weisengerger Mill. Matt and I were out shooting last summer and this scene caught my eye. It reminds me of a number of summers when friends and I would go fishing in the creek on hot summer afternoons.
