exciting.

So this weekend I finally started new work... like an actual body of new work that I'm really really excited to be working on. It's been a long time in coming actually, as I've been wanting to do it for almost a year now and finally am taking the time to do it as it will be a very large body of work, and time consuming. I am photographing every object/drawing/letter/gift and card that I've held onto from childhood. From video games to action figures to lunch-boxes. The series will be called Memento. I very much want this project to be a book. Everything is being photographed on a white seamless and very traditionally as still life's with a few exceptions. I am a total hoarder... always have been and probably always will be. However, I am selling/giving away everything after I photograph it. The photographs will be the thing I can hold onto now. So HOPEFULLY, I'll have scans of the first few I've done before I leave town. Keep an eye out on Monday or Tuesday. Ryan Pfluger is 100% back on doing work for himself instead of just doing work work.

This sounds awesome. You know I love that childhood nostalgia crud. Can't wait to see what you come up with.
