First Nudes-1971

While doing some studio cleaning I found a binder of

unmounted chrome and among them a roll of Ektachrome

from 1971. I took these while a freshman and the shoot was

in my dorm room, the models name is lost to the ages, if you

know her from 1971, let me know!

The images themselves are not very interesting in themselves

but more a marker, I would like to think I've

come a long way since then.

Print for the SPE print auction

Finally got a print selected and shipped for the sPE print auction. 

This image from the 2014 Bacchus parade will be part of the silent

auction at the SPE National conference in New Orleans next March.

The Young Artist & his model

I've been scanning some older work from the 70's and came across

this self portrait with a model from like 1974. I'm in the reflection of

a mirror and I'm pretty sure thats my Nikon F2 and my first 20mm

lens.

Holga nudes

This summer I shot some studio nudes with the Holga. In some ways

they look too resolved and too sharp.

Mardi Gras is only 90 days away!

Six Flags New Orleans

I was able to get into the film archives and scanned some work

I did in black & white from the site of Six Flags New Orleans, 

post Katrina in 2010. All photos shot with a Nikon F5 and

Ilford HP-5 scanned on an Imacon

A Little Paris in Lafourche Parish

Did this as part of the FB page b & W challenge, my last one, taken

this spring around Mardi Gras. I used my Nikon F2 with a 24 mm non-AI lens

and Ilford HP-5 film.

Bywater, New Orleans, La.

This is actually recycled from the FB B & W Challenge thats

been going on for a while. I scanned this one in yesterday, I shot it this year

in the Bywater with my Nikon F2 and 24mm non-AI lens

on Ilford HP-5 film.
