Portra Test

Over the summer I picked up a pack of Porta VC160 and did a little bit of shooting locally. Worked with a Crown Graphic field camera. These were a couple of the shots:

TIme Traveler

A diptych combining shots taken over four years apart from each other. The bottom was shot in 2007, after a house at the end of my block had been condemned and was boarded up. The top shot was taken this year, after the old house had been demolished and a new house was built up, recently seeing its tenants.

Borderless

Continuing with the thematic elements of "Dixie", created a new piece based around the recently closed Borders in my area. Click through for larger view.

Moses

Moses is a triptych made from found imagery. A while back I found a strip of photos sitting in a photo booth, left by the previous user. I was bothered by the fact that the previous users were in fact two parents with their newborn. I scanned in these photos and clipped only the face of their child.

I chose to focus on the child's face as his expression wasn't forced, even if his place in the photo was. The name Moses is used because in a sense the parents left the child for whoever found him next by leaving their photos in a photo booth.

Trader/Traitor

New idea, playing with the framing still. Thoughts?

Crown

Shot on my late Uncle's Crown Graphic, in my dad's home studio.

While my dad was pulling together all of the backs, we found that there was still film in the Polaroid back. Not entirely sure how old the film was, but it's still working pretty smoothly. This is one of the first shots I've taken on this camera. I feel very honored to be able to use my Uncle's camera.
