Mannequin: Shoot One

Shoot Number One for "Mannequin" series Unedited for now Thanks Jessica Colvin

First Roll with New Camera!

It's actually the second roll! I didn't load the first one correctly and it came out blank! This is my hood ;)

Yesterday in the Studio

Working with my lights! Thanks to Michael Daniels for allowing me to post his face on my blog :)!

Visiting My Parents

It's been about 4 years since I moved out of my parents house. Every time I go back to visit, the neighborhood has gone through many changes. They live in a subdivision not too far from the city. When I visit, I like to take my dog Sasha on a walk. Sometimes she will stop her territorial peeing and pulling to let me take a picture! The subdivision shows an interesting combination of super old Decatur hippie houses and the new developed, commercial homes. I like to absorb and capture the combination between the new and the old characteristics of this eclectic and ever-changing subdivision. Shot with a plastic toy Vivitar!

YES

I'm about to get my hands on one of these babies! Medium format is my favorite way to shoot, and I have been needing to upgrade from the mediocre camera I have now. I found the Mamiya today for an awesome price! Can't wait to get paid on Friday! It also has the capability to attach a digital back (when I can afford one...).

The Girls

I love my roommates. We've been through a whole lot this past year, but you guys are there for me. Thanks Paola and Morgan.

The Land Trust

The Lake Claire Land Trust is a beautiful jewel located within Atlanta. The land is shared between neighbors and sheltered by a homey sense of community between its residents, local gardeners, artists, musicians, and hippies. These photos of my roommates were taken with my Holga toy camera for one of my first medium format projects. I had gone a few times with my friend Sydney who invited me to one of the bi-monthly drum circles. It was the first time my roommates had visited, though, and I wanted them to experience the feeling of self-reflection and comfort I had always felt there. The Land Trust is a peaceful, shady oasis; it is one of my favorite places where I can push the pause button on the fast-growing city of Atlanta.
