Christmas Projects

My first ever polaroid shot with my Morfars old camera and Impossible film. With my favourite teachers looking tough.

Doing a polaroid project over Christmas. Theme: Old becomes new. I have no clue where to begin, so I have to a real brainstorm. Any suggestions?

After the anitclimax of the final presentation and portfolio exam I've been catching up with laundry, bills, sleep and Christmas preparations.

I'm also making all my Christmas presents this year, and really having heaps of fun doing it! I'm taking pictures, and will post soon as not to spoil it for my family. The traditional (for me) photo book will be late this year due to me missing the shipping deasdline, but they'll get my hand crafted goodies under the tree with a book promise.

And I even got in an order for Christmas cards! For my Aussie family they'll be New Years cards.

Hope everyone is happy and healthy.

White Monday

Got a busy couple of weeks doing this kind of work.

Shooting Dad in the studio, portraiting friends, using loads of flash. Presentation this week, then portfolio from all semester next week.

And there's snow outside! Big Brother was extatic this morning, and I could just see him experiencing the same magic I felt as a kid.

Being Bresson

Henri Cartier-Bresson is considered the father of photojournalism and coined the term "the decisive moment".

Being Joel Meyerowitz

”I wandered the streets not knowing what I was shooting. I just knew I had to be out there. Watching life. Because I was interested in the way, you know, people did things.” - Joel Meyerowitz
 
You can see more pictures from my attemt at being one of the pioneers of street photograpy in my flickr set. You can also see Meyorowitz live in the beautiful documentary "Everybody Street" by Cheryl Dunn.

Parallelograms

This music and this pinhole pic just seemed to match in my melancholy mind. Check out the song by Linda Percacs. I'm also entering this in a competition at the excellent (Norwegian) site Øyeblikk.
