New Jersey Funk

The first picture, it gets right to point of describing the place, the pictures with the smoke stacks seem like they’re trying to prove something but I’m not sure what, and I want to see some pictures from new jersey!

I completely agree Greg. More specifically, the other images seemingly do not have any thought provoking content beyond composition. Maybe you should shoot portraits of people in New Jersey, just doing whatever. I think my favorite picture of yours is the unicyclist in the london, the print you gave to me this summer in a trade for the book “zen speaks”. I look at it everyday and it never wears on me. Maybe you should photograph spaces that have more intimate traces of humans, documenting behaviors or tools of leisure and trade as you did in, “Listen Betty, don’t start with that white zone shit again.”, mix in portraits with landscapes like the first one and I think the photographs could start a powerful conversation about the reality about life in New Jersey! I understand that a 9-5 job must inhibit the energy and resource needed to make work, but maybe it would be easier to turn your lens to the “Domestication” you had referred to in a post, photographing New Jersey a personal context. Just some ideas.

Love to visit ya sometimes, or maybe I’d love to just quit school for a while, move in with you and start working in the city. haha Let me know if you have any leads! Cheers

Thanks for the feedback guys. I’ve been shooting here and there since I’ve gotten to Jersey but I’m not ashamed to admit that I’ve been dragging my ass. I have 6 rolls of shot film that I haven’t been able to process. I’ve thought about doing a portrait project but i’ve always had a problem approaching strangers to take their portrait. I really need to get over it.

ALEX! Friggin visit me man! How much longer do you have in school? Do you graduate this year?
