sorry for the instagram picture, but i was really happy how this turned out.

This is nice!

The photos I've been sharing got me a little feature on this local site. Nothing I haven't posted already here, except some words at the end of the article.

photobooth'd photo i took with a kodak brownie, so mind the quality

The Quality Makes It forsure, it wouldn't be what it is with higher quality. Keep it up.

I bought a Konica c35 from the thrift store and just kind of hoped it worked. I got my film back last week and I'm psyched.

Fuck Chuck, you're killing it. I haven't checked out this thread in a while but just came in here and ended up clicking on your profile killing probably 30 minutes of my time at work. Haha I feel like I just lurked you way too hard and instead of going all detective I figured I'd just ask you - Do you live in Arizona? I used to live out there years ago and thought I recognized a bunch of those people - Bucky and Trent for sure. Some of those music studio shots looked really familiar too... But yeah, what kind of camera are you carrying around to shoot most of these anyway?

Since I'm here, I'll post a few of mine:

I'm actually looking for a photographer to take a few pictures for my website.

Email me at [email protected] if you're interested, and we can figure out pay. Doesn't really require much.

Thanks man! Yeah, I've lived in the Phoenix area my whole life. The music studio shots are of Brad B of Drunken Immortals. The studio is at Pickster's house, and that's him in the photo in front of the records with the dog. I'm real happy with the Trent and Laura photo because it's hard to catch them not extraordinarily busy with Cowtown/Phoenix Am stuff. Their boys were running around all crazy with the neighbors when I first started shooting them in their backyard, so we had to tell them to play out there while we took refuge inside.
Everything in this series has been/will be shot with the Sony rx100

It's kind of funny because I have experience making environmental portraits with a view camera, which lends itself much more to the process. It feels awkward making this type of work with a point and shoot camera, but I'm happy with the results, and I can go from one location to the next much quicker. That's important because I'm cramming as much shooting in on my days off as possible.
It's been a fun project because I'm focusing on the people I know that I am interested in and who inspire me. I spend my days off scheduling with people and then driving around and hanging out with them one on one in their most comfortable setting. Lots of good conversation comes from it. Sometimes it feels like I'm living the movie Waking Life with all the dialogue I take in on a day of shooting.

Since I'm here, I'll post a few of mine:

These pictures work very well together. "Urgent care" nails it, with the second shot looking like a scene from Koyaanisqatsi, with systematic hurriedness, followed by gratuitous and destructive pleasures. Good stuff!

Ah Darn! I was just there last week and they had an exhibit on up-and-coming artists. This one photo looked like one of your night/eerie pictures, and the artist statement said something about fog and lighting dramatically morphing one's perception of everyday suburban scenes. I thought it was you for sure.

Yours are still better though.

I wish I was an "up-and-coming artist" lol. I'm definitely influenced by a lot of photographers who do night work. I go out shooting with a lot of people in my area who are interested in the same things I am, but I'm also heavily influenced by the work of Todd Hido, which I'm sure a lot of other photographers are too. Fog is really nice though

Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it.

Edit: You wouldn't happen to remember the name of the photographer, would you?

Jerome Sturm. Here's the photo he has in the exhibit:

Looked at the night shots and must say I am surprised he is featured in a gallery... So many seemingly more talented photographers in this thread. Congrats to you all, I love looking at this thread!

Seriously. CRD is much better than that dude. First of all, what kind of MFA candidate fucks with HDR?? Secondly, SmugMug? Radford must be easy as fuck to get into...
