BROOKLYN, BUSHWICK & BEYOND

a little journey back into film shooting...living and loving the vivid deep color...posted as is..out of the camera no post-photoshopping...something great about how perfectly imperfect it is...eat dust digital!






Fellow photographer, Tina Zimmer took this portrait of me during a brunch in williamsburg at the Lodge.

BW KODAK DISPOSABLE // 2005

i recently shot off the rest of what was left on an old disposable camera i found from 2005/2006. it expired 2006 so im guessing anywhere before 2006. there is a clear difference in digital/film. seeing these reminds me of what film photography can achieve even from a crumby expired disposable.
soft, emotional, intriguing and otherworldly...i think digital struggles to find that sensitivity even when retouched. there is an atmosphere, dimension and softness that film has in its pure untouched form that digital tries so hard to be but cannot...yet?






a lot of my club photography in 2001-2003 was done using disposable cameras due to the fact i was broke. strangely enough i think those early years of using disp cameras helped define my style.

the disposable years: 2001-2003
