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.

LONG ISLAND ZOO EXPERIENCE
Recently visited the Long Island Zoo. Wow..kinda disturbing. All the animals looked a little rough...matted fur, small cages, overfed animals, isolated zebras, a big old giraffe stuck in a big barn..and there was a Big Cat show that i thought was going to end up with an inexperienced cat wrangler getting eaten by a pissed off tiger. Don't think i'll be visiting a zoo anytime soon.

MGMT CONCERT IN THE PARK = REALIZATION I AM NO LONGER 16. WTF? HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? NO!
I recently attended the MGMT concert at Prospect Park in Brooklyn, NY on July 1, 2009. It was an interesting experience with an average audience age in the 14-22 bracket..many of whom were all sporting their scarves, bandanas and tie dyes..it was a regular love in - even if all the kids seemed to come off like spoiled brats. There was also some serious under age drinking going on near the stage. This i was not guilty of when i was 16..ok so i was thrown out of a Ramones concert once.
Sucker and Kuroma were the warm up bands for MGMT. Kuroma turned out to be the highlight with their unassuming looks and very assuming guitar solos. Another highlight was overhearing the deep conversation among the groupies in the long serpentine line that wrapped around the park pre-show. Impatiently waiting in line, young teenagers prattled on about how MGMT is not Management but M G M T. "Like don't you know?" My date was not amused. You know it's bad when a 27 year old complains she feels old. Another highlight was watching the people dance in the "free seats" located outside the park while "A Time To Pretend" echoed in the distance...they were singing "a time to pretend we have tickets to this show..."
All and all, i enjoyed the evening...even if i felt like 80.
The scarf wearing, bandana sportin, obnoxious kids in line..."it's M G M T!"
My partner in crime, Megan...expressing her disdain for the kids above...
MGMT KIDS!

Restless. Thinking of change. Sometimes i'm moving so fast i can't feel my life. Tonight i can feel. Only after opening up and expressing something beyond me can i finally feel my life. In this moment, i have gratitude. Being here and being able to express myself through a medium i understand enough to get out of the way for. For being able to make others see themselves in another light. To find beauty in every human being...maybe the very same beauty im waiting to discover in myself.
I think of my mother. I think about whether im a good daughter. If im a good friend. A good lover. A good person. If im on the right track. If im too hard on myself. If im too critical. If im impossible. If i haven't contributed. If I haven't made a difference.
If only for this moment..i am free and i'm made of everything.

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
