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.

Looking Back

I've been working with some older photographs this past week. This image, "Blessed Are Those Who Are Invited...," was taken in 2005. Kristin's grandfather had given me an old medium format, twin-lens. It's a beautiful camera that still shoots wonderfully. It was fun to join it with new technology (a film scanner, Photoshop, inkjet printer) to come full circle.

The idea behind the photo comes from a passage of scripture in Revelations 19:9. It describes a wedding supper for Jesus. Usually this might be thought of as a large feast, bu what strikes me about the image is that it is an intimate and personal setting. It reminds me of Christ's love, a personal love, for even one like me.

NYC

I'm still unpacking images from our trip to NYC. This has to be a common shot, at least that's my assumption after looking at postcards in the gift shop. But it's fun to be able to make the shot yourself, especially as a fan of Wright.

This image as also from the Guggenheim of an installation hanging in the lobby. What looks a bit like scales are numerous lenses, hanging together in a type of glass fabric.

E-type

Kristin and I have been on vacation for the past week. On our trip to NYC, we visited the MOMA with my good friend Ed. On Friday nights between 5-9, the museum is free. As a result, the galleries are packed with people. My favorite floor is the third. It is dedicated to architecture, design, and (of course) photography. We spent most of our time there. That's where you can find this stunning, 1963 Jaguar E-type Roadster.
