I tested out our school’s new scanning backs. for a while now I have been making dinosaurs out of playdough whenever I get a hold of some. it was time I documented the destruction.

I love polaroid film. I miss polaroid film. here are three links for info about it’s future.

the impossible project is a group trying to re-invent classic SX-70 integral film.

save polaroid is a site trying to petition for polaroids continued existence.
http://www.savepolaroid.com/

and polaroid itself has been purchased, or is about to be purchased, or… of the two companies vying for it’s future, only one is interested in producing new film technology.

02

after a long hiatus, I have some new work to put up. this started over a year ago with a test shot and a conversation with jeremias during art basel. looking back at my thesis work, I began talking about the idea of the camera as the tool we use to view the world in a specific way. we slice a little rectangle out of the world, isolating it from the rest of the larger view. it was an idea I had in words, but not really in images. at this time I was looking at the current work of abalardo morell, really paying attention to how his “camera obscura” work went from a collection of images about found lenses, to a larger body using the pinhole to project an image inside a room. it was the evolution of his images that I took note of.

rather than start a new project that was completely different in concept to my old work, I wanted to let my work change into something else. using this idea of the camera as a tool to prevent the viewer from seeing anything other than “my” image, I have composed my image on the ground glass, then photographed the glass, and the surrounding elements to show how the camera was used, how elements I isolated may not be in the context the viewer would expect.

at the time I am writing this, I have only two images, and another two on the way. any feedback would be appreciated.
