Car rides, babies, water spots and more

A few more black and whites. I have some ideas (floatin around and written down) of how to push this experiment into projects or studies but I want to play around a bit more. Conceptualization too early can be silly.

Don't make me commit.

Touch my (print) Box

This is where What November Was and Morning Portraits are living. I am becoming more obsessed with objects that surround photographs and photography itself such as film canisters, print envelopes, packaging for the film and paper, and receipts for processing. So i have started scanning in these objects as well because their presence is important to my process.
Oh and thanks for the paper Traverse, I finally printed on it after a year and a half.

What November Was (part two)

November was the last warm days, the last night wanderings and talks about the future.

Where are we going? Oh photos will you let me know?

Presently I am down in Texas, the sun is shining, and I want to photograph everything. While visiting friends and family, I keep coming across stacks of photos- snap shots with no time line or order - that make me drool. The randomness of people and places I don't know or haven't thought about in a while, different textures of paper, photos from the 1960s hanging out next to pictures from a few months ago, some fading and beat to shit, someone's history vibrating in my hands and eyeballs. Snapshots are one of (if not the) my greatest influences on my work, there is something just so beautiful and humble about them. I feel as if I have the same intentions as a families' photo album just on a larger scale.
Do people still do photo albums? Or are we locking them inside of digital cameras and computers?

Thanks for lookin' and reading.
