Flight, Italy, 2009.

Triumphant

Finally, Finally, Finally, got film developed for the first time since graduation last year. I only just got the rolls back this afternoon so there will be much pouring over images and editing as the days continue - but for the time being, here is one that caught my eye off the bat. Tory says its very meta, I'll let you be the judge.

Manarola, Italy 2009.

Because Colorado is beautiful in rain.

Going home again soon. Doesn't seem to matter how long I'm gone, the land will always captivate me.

State of The Union

So, in an effort to post more and after many talks with both friends and generous strangers I have decided to start posting more digital work. The two most recent posts are already examples of this shift, and for anyone who knows me it may seem a bit strange. Without access to the labs and an uncharted school-less landscape ahead of me I have decided there is really no point in being all persnickety over digital vs analog. If it helps me make work than so be it.

Right now I really don't have much in the way of a digital camera, and that is unlikely to change anytime soon. As such all of these posts will be labeled "Point-N-Shoot". Please keep in mind that these are shot with a small 3 megapixel camera with no initial intention to be anything other than family photos, essentially. As a result they will likely not be of the same file quality as my film work.

They will however mean more new work and a means by which to get me out of my head - which to my mind is a very good thing.

Found this photo while cleaning stuff up on my computer, reminded me that there is some good stuff left to post while I wait to get my new film back. This was actually shot by my girlfriend Tory on election night 08 but I love it so much I thought I'd post it here. Photos from Italy and out west are soon to come I promise.

So, once again, almost unsurprisingly lately, I haven't updated much. The reason of course is that I haven't really taken pictures of any kind for quite some time. Which, at least for the time being, has started to change. A recent trip to the pacific northwest and another to Italy have left me with quite a few rolls of film just waiting to be developed. In the meantime there are believe it or not a few digital images that I'm rather fond of. They are not "my work" but I like em just the same so I thought I'd show one or two here.

With any luck new posts of my film work will be soon to follow.

Thanks,

Elyse
