Lincoln Beach, New Orleans

I was driving long the lake this week and stumbled across this place, it was a "colored" only beach in New Orleans from 1939-1965. It's overgrown and worse for the wear and only an echo of it's former self. There are some excellent WWW sites with more complete histories of the place if you are interested. There have been some recent proposals to rebuild the place as a modern day resort, but there does not seem to be much going on here. I am sure I'll be re-visiting the place in the future.

The lost Collages April 2007

In rooting around the files tonight, looking for something else, I found these images from 2007. If I had known about them, I might have put one or more of them into the RAC exhibition. Shot with the D2x all in camera, the early work from the series. All shot out at my studio at Tyson with one of my favorite subjects.

4x5 portrait of Carol

I shot this portrait using my 4x5 and used some of the new Kodak Ektar 4x5 film and scanned it into the new Imacon scanner we have at the school house. I am planning on making some 40"x60" prints and interested to see if the scans hold up to that size. This could be a new portfolio of work for me.

More new collages

Figures layered using my rotted books and in camera collage.

Work from the Tyson shoot on 9/10/11

This new work was done using the rotted books from the "Tyson Book Farm" project and in camera collage with the figure all inside my studio out at Tyson. The books were shot on a product sweep using my new Profoto mono lightings and the nude was combined using my older Speedtron Black line lights. New Pocketwizzard TT1's made it all happen connected up to my D3x camera. These two new works will end up in my upcoming exhibition at the Regional Arts Center here in STL in November.
