Happy Halloween!

Try not to eat too much candy.

Tower

Shot last June in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood with my Holga camera.

Cicada

In 2007, the 17-year cicadas emerged in Chicago, and for a few weeks there were large, slow moving insects everywhere. My yard had tons of them, more than my neighbors', probably because I refuse to chemically treat my lawn in any way, and more of the larvae survived. It was pretty cool. Here's a photo taken in my front yard of a cicada on an allium flower.

Frost

Frost on a window, shot on a cold winter's day a couple of years ago.

Look Up!

I shot this with my reversed-lens Brownie camera a couple of summers ago. I really like this photo, despite my being a committed atheist.

Stripes

I have no idea what this is a photo of. If I had to guess, I'd say it's a closeup of a page in a magazine, possibly Artforum.

Untitled

Couldn't think of a title for this one. Feel free to add your own.
Shot at the Oriental Institute in Chicago about a week and a half ago.

Shadow Skull

Digital infrared shot made in my Mom's backyard last spring,

Scary!

It's hard to believe that Halloween is just over a week away. October is just flying by. This was a very poorly exposed shot made with my Holga camera a couple of years ago. I added the duotone to improve the image quality, as it looked really bad otherwise.

Green And Red

Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago. Shot last January with a small digital camera.

Animated Chicago

This is an animated gif made from a shot taken with my 4-lens Nishika camera. This was the top of a parking structure southwest of downtown.

Infrared Woods

Shot in the Dan Ryan Woods in Chicago last spring.

Untitled

Hmmm, I couldn't think of a title for this. Anyone have any ideas?

Pink-Eyed Blurry Beast

Fooling around with my camera a few years ago; shot this off of the tv screen.

50's Lady

An image from a 1950's era homemaker's magazine, shot on a light table with a macro lens about 5 years ago.

Fall Reflection

I shot this photo on Friday while wandering around the University of Chicago campus and Hyde Park with a group of students from the school where I teach (I'm the faculty advisor for the campus Art Club, and we'd gone there to visit museums). It's a beautiful part of the city any time, but especially so in the fall.

Persepolis

This is a gum bichromate print, made from a photograph taken with a Holga camera. The photo was shot in the Oriental Institute on the University of Chicago Campus in 2007. This is one of my favorite pieces in that wonderful museum.

Twilight In San Francisco

I shot this on Ocean Beach in San Francisco last June, right as the sun was setting and the lights in the city were turning on.

Mini-Castle

Shot with my Holga camera last summer at a miniature golf course outside of Chicago.

Portland

I shot this in Portland, in July, 2010, while riding a bike through the city.

American Fair

Here's another animated GIF. Shot with my 4-lens camera at a parking lot carnival a couple of years ago.

I Am Lost!

Shot with my reversed lens Brownie camera, I can't remember exactly where or when.

Through THe Window

I love this shot. Made with my 4-lens Nishika camera, October, 2007 in San Francisco.

A Little Bored

I've been feeling a little bored and uninspired with this blog lately. It may be the busyness of the school year and not feeling like I'm getting enough studio time, or it may be that I haven't done much shooting lately, and have nothing new to post.

Anyway, I'm not sure if anything will change here. I might take a few days off, I might not.  Here's a collage I made bank in August in the meantime.

Midway

Shot with my 4-lens Nishika camera at Midway Airport in Chicago while waiting for a flight to San Francisco, October, 2007.

Floating Log

That fallen tree kind of looks like it's floating. Shot in digital infrared last May.

De Young

A view of the top floor of the de Young Museum in San Francisco.

Moving Fence

Shot near Chinatown in Chicago, not quite a month ago.

Chinatown Clown

Shot in a Chinatown shop window a couple of years ago.

Inuit

Shot at the Exhibit Museum at the University of Michigan back in 2006.
