Studio shoot with Alessandra

Home portrait

I did an interesting home portrait today of a friends mother who was 92 and in her last days along with her brother. It was a modest home that echoed of memories and better days and I actually found it quite moving to photograph. These photos are ones I did more for myself than the client.

Tyson studio shoot with Carol

The 2018 Tyson studio season got off to a good start with a great photo session with Carol. I like to start the season with her, we've been photographing together since 1984 and have a very comfortable rhythm in the studio. Carol also brings a great sense of gesture and grace to her poses.

Jazz Fest

I've been to Jazz Fest only 4 times and this time really wanted to make it about the music and not trying to turn it into another long term project, so the day was mostly about making a few photos between venues.

Contact sheet scans

As part of my attempt to bring some organization to some of my older work, I have been scanning negative pages lacking contact sheets this week. Most of it is work from 1973-76. I do not know what I was thinking with my numbering system, its just one more thing to add to the list of topics to discuss with 1973 Stan when time travel is invented.
