and the reason is when the day seems like it will be slightly less than exciting I get out my camera and take photographs. If that is an indicator of how frequently I feel in danger of being bored then I haven’t been even close in a very long time. In fact, these are the first pieces of photographic art I have made since January 14, 2009. That is a scary long time, but I was getting interested in other things. I am feeling pretty good about these two, so maybe I’ll make some more. I mean, I should probably use that degree I spent decades getting every once in a while.

Some of you may recognize these flowers from a previous project, completed during my second photography course some four-ish years ago. I sewed them out of fabric from an old t-shirt and gave them wire armatures on a Saturday night during the spring semester of my 3rd year. I know this because I was listening to smooth, sexy R&B songs on the radio. I really do miss listening to Super Soul Saturday. Anyway, here are some new creations.

“Closed-System”

“Basic Flowers”

Due to file size limitations I cannot upload a version of the flower composite that I feel is of adequate dimension. So I am posting each part of the triptych separately.

I photographed the EUP Print Club’s Exquisite Corpse Set. There will be more info on it soon enough.

I finished up two more photographs featuring my cameras. Top: kodak brownie hawkeye Bottom: busch 4×5 pressman, sold as tower 4×5 pressman (on loan from cassie staub)

I have started documenting the cameras I own. I am trying to keep them fresh and entertaining and I still have a couple more to get to. I’m not sure if they will all make the move with me so this seems like an appropriate way to bid them farewell.

Here’s a triptych of some shots that didn’t quite make the cut.
