explorers of the night, seekers of our nocturnal destiny

Its good to get out and shoot with friends. Allot of my recent images have been shot with friends. Some nights have been later than others. there is something surreal about the stillness. the calmness. the way we paint with light.

Older Work. it exists

Suburban Anxiety

not alone, not even close

some selected images from my recent trip to austin texas for sxsw. for the first time i was not even close to being alone when out shooting. all these were taken from about 1-4 a.m. i noticed that anytime i saw green lighting it was from an atm. i found myself drawn to the guy under the atm, holy shit did he look depressed. everyone else was moving, except him.

the clock on the wall reads a quarter past midnight

lately i've been more interested about the people that are up when i'm shooting, the places they occupy, and what this can possibly say if anything about who is inside. light is selective at night for obvious reasons. but we controll it. we own the night. i'm wondering what it means when our existence is known only from a lightsource. subcultures both well known and not came from night. what does a house say about a person?

Selected works from my first semester in photography. So far i have been concentrating allot on night photography and natural light. I have worked a little with compositing on my first project, each photo containing at least three images of myself. The last project i started working on a series of building portraits. I concentrated mainly on corner stores or buildings isolated by location. I wanted to present these places that are normally very busy during the day at there most isolated and intimate moment. 

type finals and thoughts

On my first album cover i focused mainly on building the letters through informative pictures, letting the images fill certain areas and then spill out over others. For the second album i built a picture that i felt informed the content of the album. what made this different is that i then began letting the letters be placed in a way that they fit into the environment. also on this album i have never seen the original cover. the concept behind the album was that the artist bon iver spent three months isolated in a cabin, going there to get away from all his problems, and while there ended up recording an album about his wants, needs, longing, and pain.
