A Small Lesson
After looking at this roll of 7 images I feel like it’s time to talk to the millions of digital shooters. For the record, I have never complained or cared about all the self proclaimed ‘photographers’ in the world. If you really enjoy shooting, go make some money while you do it! This is not … Read more
Adrienne. Foggy Cleveland Day
Adrienne and I planned to go to one place. Closed. With no other location in mind, we drove around and stopped every few minutes. It was a foggy and rainy morning, but that was OK. I’d rather that. I used my Mamiya RB67 and some expired Agfa 400 film, plus some 35mm Lomography 100 film … Read more
Cleveland. PreSpring. PostIndustry.
Less than 3 miles from Aperture lies some of Cleveland’s best industrial areas. Easily accessible, as long as you keep your eyes on the semi trucks driving down the roads at high speeds. I first posted a few of these images on the Coalesce52 website, which is a project I’m working on with Tim Logan … Read more
Johnstown, OH
Shot on expired Agfa 400. The expiration date says 2001. I cannot believe how well this film held up the past 12 years! My wife’s parents live in Johnstown, which is a great town in central Ohio to photograph. Plenty of nice fields, barns, land, etc. These images were shot with my Mamiya RB67, and … Read more
Melissa
Another round with Melissa. Used the Mamiya RB67 and the Contax. The Mamiya was filled with some very expired Kodak T64, then some expired Polaroid Blue film, when I accidentally allowed a light leak, but I’m fine with the look.
Melissa
Melissa and I are working on her portfolio. There’s modeling work in her future and our goal is to produce her beautiful 50-page book. It’s going to take all spring/summer/fall, but it’ll get done by the years end. We have 2 more shoots planned for when the weather warms up, but until then we’ll work … Read more
Melody’s Portraits
Melody is a friend from my days at Scene Magazine. Back in 2002-2003. Living downtown, working downtown. Fun times for sure. I am putting together a book of Cleveland folk and their tattoos, (casting call on March 16th and 23rd) and Melody will surely be included. The following images are not for the book, but … Read more
Brenna Roth… Portraits
I love photographing this girl. She’s too fun. Makes me laugh. She’ll be appearing in our first issue of our analog photography zine, called “Anie”. She came in for an interview and posed for a few portraits. The talented Brenna Roth…
Shooting Rachel in Freezing Temps
For some reason Rachel and Nick still live in Columbus. They want to be in Cleveland. We want them in Cleveland. They are two great friends who I met while shooting their wedding a couple years ago. I’d love to show you their wonderful wedding album, but they just sent me their selections… two years … Read more
Elizabeth: The Film Shots
Yesterday I posted some digital images from my shoot with Elizabeth. Well, here are the film shots. This is what I have been waiting for, and for those who have never looked at film vs. digital, now’s your chance. Two people besides Liz that I want to thank. First, Ramona Dauksa, who did such an … Read more
