2(B+W)

Fairly self-explanatory - some shots from my second roll of successful black and white film.
That's about all I guess.

IIIIII'll... post some images of the books I'm making with these shots and a range of other stuff later. As in after I've got my shit together.

(You could be waiting a while.)

B+W

I just finished writing this whole post... and then the internet crashed and now it's all gone. WHICH IS FUNNY, because this post is for my recently developed black and white SLR film, which had followed a 5 month string of consecutive film failures, for reasons directly related to my inexperience and stupidity. Anyway, just as I was about to give up, this film worked. I re-cropped some of these. Obviously.

ASS ESSMENT

I'm not a huge fan of assessment. The idea that you can quantify the quality of an individuals work scares me. Turning a subjective opinion on a body of work into an accurate, numerical value seems like an impossible task. The criteria is (to an extent) abstract. Being judged on something you can't see or point to or completely understand is concerning, because there's no way of really knowing if you've achieved whatever it is that you set out to do.

My assessment at the end of last year was particularly scary. The process could be likened to blindly flinging shit at a wall with the hope that at least some of it would stick. I thought there was a fair chance that I might even fail. I don't fail. It scares me. I'm not sure why. I can't imagine I'd enjoy it and I don't want to try it on for size just yet.

Anyway, I didn't fail. And we all lived happily ever after.

Here's some shit that stuck.

POST-IT.

I was looking through past post-its.

Post hourly comic project phase two.

This is a selection from the start of the year. Many of them weren't completely finished. I picked a few of the better ones to post up here.

Yeah, I'm posting on this post. I.T. style.

ASSORTED OTHERS.

There's an array of photos dating all the way back from February to just recently that I've wanted to put up, but don't really fit anywhere or deserve their own post. So here's a collection of odds and ends. Bits and pieces. Assorted others.

From the studios...







From home...




(I was overdosing on fun that night.)







And from the homes of others...

MORE IMAGES

Still sifting through the backlog of photos and posts I've been neglecting these past few months.
More to come.

These are from the last of my disposable cameras I got developed a little while ago.


(Esteban is in this one twice. See?)







Man we've got some photogenic dogs.

FACE PEEL

Saturday night we did a bit of a trade off. Antonia cooks us risotto. We cover her face in silicon.
Deal.

My camera was only adopted after Antonia's camera died. Consequently, I only have the back end of the process in this post.

We liked the backing track from the half way point of this instructional video so much that we played it on repeat while we followed the steps to face replication glory.

Here's one we prepared earlier:
