When I Was...

(Faye On Route To Nathan's Concert (and The First Person I'll Shoot With This New Camera), December 8th 2008)

Recently I wanted to go back to a time in my work that was very simple and fast enough to just capture a moment. I purchased a medium format rangefinder, and purposed to carrying it with my everywhere, along side with my trusty compact flash. I want to capture details of moments I want to remember, from the people that tie me to events and times of my life, and the things that happen in-between my conceptual work.

I hope to continue this as long as I could, as these moments become perminent reminders of the passage of time. I have recently been fascinated with Martin Parr's work as well.

all of these look great! that camera you have is fun! some of them look ghostly. nice touches.

thanks. Ghostly because of the light leaks from the bellows, so I patched it up and hopefully it is light tight. Though I do like the leaks.

very nice,
the leaks look really similar to the ones i was getting with my folding 6x9 camera, except mine were way more cyan. hm, i'll have to inspect my bellows more closely.
that empty lot almost looks a lot cooler in 2-d than it did in real life.
somebody should also let erin know her inner geek is showing.
