Rose Garden Bunny

I finally decided to shoot a pack of polaroid that I had been holding onto for far too long.
I stumbled upon this bunny eating petals at the Rose Gardens. He did not run away when the photo pushed out the camera so I hope the tourist haven't tamed him to the point where he'd get eaten by a hawk.

the exits came and went away

Please Pardon the Dust

I've been a bit obsessed with photographing glowing sign boxes/ blow out windows lately but this is the only one I have printed:

Above^ is also the closing photo to my Summer 2010 chapter. I think it works nicely against this one as the opener:

Talking and Sitting

I like watching myself take the same picture in different ways. Here are three that are talking. Two have been posted before, one is newly printed but from the winter. Also shown in chronological order.

And this is another (hand held) "panorama" i did while sitting and talking to sparrows. I don't use tripod because of a traumatic incident that ended in a broken lens.

I can shoot Weddings too.

I went to a wedding in July and played with double exposures.
Can you spot the Cheetah?

It's been too long. Summer seems to be speeding by.
I've been working too many hours at that place where I earn a consistent paycheck. Yuck.
But I am back TAing at Nesop for the summer so now I'm c-printing again.
And have also been working on secret things. Secrets......
New work is scanned and will be posted soon.
Thanks for stopping by!

Where did it go?

Adam and Loafer, Hull Mass, August

Luke's SunRoom, Allston Mass, August

Garland Texas, July

DFW morning, Texas, July

Here are four images from the Summer of Sundays chapter that I am presently working on(with?); printing, editing, scanning and thinking abouts. Where did you go summer? It felt like all dog days with a bit of Texas heat.
Sorry about the lack of posts. About six weeks ago I started working a (terrible) retail job to pay the bills and live . (I shouldn't complain with the unemployment rate edging towards 10%.) So I am learning to balance working for $$$s and working for my art. Still shooting, printing once or twice a week and looking at work by other. It is just the digital work I have no attention for esp. when i get off of work. I am sure this will change in the winter when I will be more inclined to stay in and drink wine.
I also started TAing at Nesop for 2nd year color, the class is fabalous, they keep me excited about photography.
Alec Soth (rhymes with both) gave lecture "The Democratic Jungle" at Mass Art on Monday evening. I enjoyed that he gave stories behind some of his work/life and also talked about the present conditions of photograhy in the world of flickr and the dying print meduim. He was handsome and human and I should have taken notes.

Two from Cambridge one from Texas, can you guess which is from Texas?

I sent out a package of prints to Dallas yesterday. Hooray for selling work and living off of it. I actually haven't been shooting that much film since I got back from Texas. I'm kinda bored with the Cambridge/Boston area but that could just be the summer doldrums.
I did shoot a few rolls this weekend, its mainly of people/adventures with friends. And i have another two rolls to finish before I'll head back to the lab to make print.


p.s. I have developed recent summer flowers obsession. They are just so pretty. Here's another:
