Day 3

I will always remember the double exposure assignment from one of my first photography classes in college. The challenge was to make as many double exposures in as many ways as you could. I always enjoyed the ‘in-camera’ double exposures. The challenge was you didn’t see the final image until after you developed it. There was no way of knowing before. Not everyone works out. In fact many don’t visually work at all. But each one has something to it that makes you stop and look for awhile.

I think sometimes when you are working on a big project, one of the best things you can do to give yourself a boost is to go back to something you tried early on.

In an effort to continue collecting images to use in this project, I went back to early techniques.

These are all ‘in-camera’ double exposures. In a way it is truly the ‘analog’ way of what I do with my layered images in Photoshop.

A double exposure I took at a nature preserve we drove through on our way home from Winona.   Taken with a Hasselblad 501c/m using a Polaroid back with Silk 125i pack film.

Day 2

Today’s post is just images. Somedays, that is all you have. Images that you are drawn to, though you don’t know exactly why.

I take a camera with me all the time. This is one of the reasons. You never know when you are going to see something that draws you in.

 

This was at an Okinomiyaki restaurant in one of the top floors of Yodobashi Camera. It was one of the first places we ate at with Joni (besides Subway!) The melon soda was awesome and was always served in a Coke glass.  Taken with a Mamiya C330, probably with Ilford film.  March, 2009.

This was taken during a walk around our neighborhood shortly after we got back from our trip. The duck is sitting on top of a skateboard ramp.  Taken with a Hasselblad 501c/m. Ilford film.

A window I saw walking back to our car after going to a few Art-a-Whirl openings with some friends.   Taken with a Hasselblad 501c/m.  May 2009.
