Anxious
I’ve caught myself lately getting overwhelmed with no real reason to be overwhelmed and for months now I’ve been in a constant state of extreme anxiety. Most likely cause I feel trapped and my mind is searching for any way possible to get out. I’ve had to force myself to brave the cold from time [...]
Winter Sun
The other week I realized I had become a victim of cold weather, short days, and long work weeks. My photographic work had slowed to a pace I’m not comfortable with. Not having new images to work on is not something that sits well with me for very long so I decided to get out [...]
January Exhibition Opening: “Washington to Washington” & “In Habitation”
Dylan Knapp and I have curated two exhibitions that will be opening this Friday January 7th from 6-9 at Booksmart Studio. We will be exhibiting the work entitled “Washington to Washington” by Joel Wellington Fisher in the Kunstler Gallery along with our Juried exhibition “In Habitation” in the Rochester Pin-Up Gallery. Many of you may [...]
Nearing The End
So I think at this point the photographs I’m making at the hunting trailer are serving to fill in gaps and to overall just try to strengthen the work as a whole. Some of the images are getting repetitive and starting to look similar however I do think this is a very important part of [...]
It’s Tradition
Thanksgiving is over which means only two things: Christmas music plays incessantly on the radio, and rifle season starts monday. I’m leaving tomorrow morning to partake in the family hunting weekend for my second time. Luckily since my radio was stolen out of my car a few months back I won’t have to worry about music [...]
Things Just Got Real
Over the summer I didn’t really get a chance to visit the Ohl family trailer where I have been photographing sporadically for about a year now. I had gone down there a few times alone and made some work that I liked but when I was there by myself it felt cold. I wanted to [...]
“In Habitation”
Call For Entries I know it’s sort of last minute at this point but Dylan Knapp and I were given the opportunity to formulate a juried exhibition to be held at Booksmart Studio this coming January. It has potential to be a great show but we need people submitting! The deadline for the submissions are [...]
Transitional
Finally taking a moment to process. I look back at three months of transition and i’m finally starting to settle. It’s like i just went through a time in which any thoughts outside of “what do I have to do tomorrow?” and “what am I going to eat for dinner?” were virtually non existent. I’m [...]
Dirty Feel good
I’ve always been back and forth with Black and white I’ll stick a roll of Neopan in the camera and go to town then I develop scan and push it to the side and don’t look at it for a little while. For some reason they end up being my feel good pictures or rather [...]
Bryant Hollow
A while ago In my post “Slice of Uncivilization” I introduced my Grandparents trailer. When I looked those Images I felt the need to continue to photograph That place. It’s always been an escape from the busy life for my grandparents, a place where the only thing they really have to worry about is how [...]
