bent tree house

This house exists in a little run down neighborhood behind my local bank.  Either on the way to the bank or driving to work from it, I pass this house and always want to pull over get out and photograph it.  But, the neighborhood doesn't look too friendly and I never really know if it is occupied or not.  I finally got the opportunity with the holga 110.  I brought the car to a stop on a bright summer day, rolled down the window, took a quick small photograph, and then drove off.  Hardly noticed.  Even the house itself has already forgotten I was even there I was such a ninja.

 

crossroads

I'm just a little obsessed with the huge concrete structures that make up the design of our modern ways of travel.  Underneath them, looking up, I get a real feeling of scope and magnitude of how each one of us are ant-like among a thousand other ants and yet still have a pivotal part to play in the grand scheme of all things.  I don't know, it just helps me keep things in perspective.

I recently bought some 110 film from the lomography store online.  Lomography is awesome and if you don't know what lomography is, google it and thank me later, because it is awesome.  But it is only awesome if you like old school photography and are a little bit nostalgic.  Okay, a lotta' bit nostalgic.  If you want to talk pixel size and megabytes and eff one four...you might not like what you see here.  But I digress.  So, I bought this 110 film and loaded it into a pocket sized holga spy camera which came all the way from Hong Kong and took it everywhere with me, and everywhere I went I took a picture.  What follows is the things I see on a daily basis.  My days in.  My days out.  My five day a week commute to the studio.  My mundane, boring, routine way 'round this good ol' West Texas life I lead-at least that's what I thought before I shot pictures of it with 110 film.  What do I think now?  I think life is beautiful.

what's new is old again

Recently the boss's daughter got married.  I happened to be there, and while there, I got to take a few pictures with my gorgeous Polaroid 100 Land camera, shot on Impossible Project Film, negatives air dried and later scanned with imperfections.  Love the look.  Reminds me of the old tintypes of yore.
