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 saturday morning walk from brooklyn to chinatown . . . funny how I arrive in New York and go straight to Chinatown. It was comforting, I was even tempted to haggle on my purchases but i caught myself and paid the asking price.

I used these photographs about 6 years ago for a mock-up book on hunting. I wasn’t able to take the originals out of the library in order to scan them so i could only use the photocopier. This high contrast effect make the images of the hunters even more intense. The name of the photographer is nowhere to be found on any of these old copies, but i intend to find it and properly credit . . .

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.

I am presently in my parents attic surrounded by all my possessions and playing the “keep, store, toss” game. After going through everything I’ve ever owned, throwing most of it away and then selling some . . . i’ve found a few small gems that have no category really but are just too good to discard and must be archived.

My pal Josh recently introduced me to Manh Hai’s collection of photographs, postcards and record covers from pre-war Vietnam. The collection is immense and awe-inspiring in its depth and variety. Above are some of my favorites.

I bought the sabre 620 camera about 5 years ago in city island (mine looks pretty much like the image except avocado green) and have only shot one role of film on it in that entire time. Here are some shots from that one and only roll. Its been sitting in storage for almost 3 out of those 5 years so I’m going to make a point to experiment with it this summer while days are long and the light is bright.

Commercial photography from 1980. Courtesy of the David Wenzel / Brendan Wenzel basement, definitely planning a trip to dig for more.
