This film has been sitting in the camera for almost 5 years . . . i finally got it developed today and found mostly light leaks and shaky accidents. Although none of the subjects are clear, the shots turned into happy accidents resulting in something between a ghostly encounter and a hazy daydream. Particularly the first composition . . .

A creative burst and an outstanding night of photographic experimentation. A collaboration between myself and miss Trina Opp using all sorts of borrowed items and light sources. Many thanks to Karen Miyano and Leland Miyano for letting us take over your garden (a mind-boggling jaw-dropping amazing place) with our cameras and equipment.

After painting schools of fish for an undersea mural, i can’t seem to stop drawing schools / swarms of dots on pretty much anything i find. It may turn to madness, case and point the last example of dots on collage . . .

Some collaged textures for a new project. Maybe as fill for background shapes . . . more clarity to come.

Turns out you can commission a painting of pretty much whatever you like if you happen to wander over to the backpacker district in Quarter 1. There are a plethora of painters-for-hire, most of which can complete most anything in the span of a week. Soooooo for my birthday, I was surprised with THIS! Apparently I am surrounded by my spirit animals . . . I now must find a frame that rivals the majesty of this painting.
