where did these come from.

So so so so. I photographed Owen Pallett last week, and he is one of my favorite people ever. I can't officially show any of the photographs yet, as they are being used for publicity and what not, but this is a complete out-take so I'm going to put it up here because I ended up really liking it. I have two RZ cameras. My original and my new one I purchased a few months back while the old one was in the shop. The old camera still gets stuck on the last frame every once and awhile and won't wind until I pull the shutter again. SO, knowing that now, sometimes I try and make it work, at least just for fun. Thus, we arrived at this image of Owen that I surprisingly enjoy despite it not looking like my work at all. Owen is awesome, and if you don't know about Final Fantasy and all the other things he does, you should learn about it. That's what the internet is for.



As I stated before, it's major organizing time as I'm getting things together to revamp my portfolio and start the transition to agency land and having someone else have images of mine on file as well. I'm kind of working from both sides and meeting at the middle (early work and new work and just working back and forward). I know it makes no sense but its just how I'm doing it. I really enjoy these out-takes from the Tiny Masters shoot. As much as I don't like being in the studio per-say I do really enjoy what I do in it sometimes. And speaking of studio......



Another piece from my Memento series. Phallus palace? It's actually another kaleidoscope but I'm not an idiot and I do know it looks like a dildo in some carnation or another. Which is fine by me. It's really wonderful seeing these objects as almost mini monuments to my past. They become as important as they should be instead of just in boxes in storage. It will be sad to see them all leave me eventually but it needs to happen. I'll have the photographs to hold on to. As with a lot of my life, that's kind of all I end up with besides memories. I'm fine with that.

Work wise, I have two new clients that I'm shooting for next week that I'm rather excited about. One which is a magazine I've wanted to work with for awhile so I'm glad it has finally come to fruition. Other than that, still playing catch up for some reason. Maybe I'm just a procrastinator when it comes to things I'm really not looking forward to doing anyway.

p.s. The new Tegan and Sara record is pretty sweet. I do have to say.
