After leaving Adelphi, I shifted gears in art-making and quickly abandoned the endless rolls of Tri-X. Two weeks ago, thanks to a lovely give of the Lomo Fisheye 2 from the boy, I started loading film again. The love (and frenzied pace) returned immediately.

These days it’s color film and machine-processed 4×6’s instead of hand-developed black and white film on 11×14 fiber paper. I’m scanning and editing in Photoshop instead of hunching over an enlarger. It’s a matter of convenience: this way, I can my experience in emulsion and pixels.

One of my early New York City photos, taken in 2004, followed by some of my recent Fisheye2 photos from around town.

My thesis project has been consuming all of my time these days. Part of that work includes photography, both shooting new and rummaging through old. Here are two very different perspectives of Brooklyn: both shot from the same location, while facing opposite directions. Click to enlarge.

From March, facing south:

From August, facing north:

As promised, although a bit late, a couple photos from Eyewash:

And from BAPLab, on July 22nd at 3rd Ward:
