CompositionAn ancient master of Frogger.Croton-on-Hudson, NY - June 2008 The more I start to feel like I know my style of photography, the more I start to feel it change. One day I experiment with landscapes, the next with weird alternative processes. Either way, though, once in a while, I come back to photos, like this one, which just feel... right to me. They're simple, classic, elegant, almost

The Table, A PolaroidCroton-on-Hudson, New York - May 2008The mrs. took yesterday off from work, and we decided to treat ourselves to lunch at a place that we've been recommended by a couple of neighbors. With boxes still waiting to be unpacked and film taking up space in the fridge, freezer, and bathroom, I bought a pack of Polaroid 600 at

Jamie's BallNear the New Croton Dam, Town of Cortlandt, NY - March 2008Here's a little bit of a plug. Each year, my friend Jamie has a huge party, a ball, to celebrate his being free of testicular cancer. He's holding his last ball later this month to celebrate his being cancer-free for six years.

Coffee IIIBrooklyn, New York - October 2007Walking Millie around this neighborhood isn't always the most pleasant way to spend time. Either other people walk, keeping you from walking in a straight line, or drivers cut you off when you're trying to cross the street, or Millie walked a little too, or a

Sitting LakesideMeredith, New Hapmpshire - June 2007I've had this roll of Kodak's HIE Infrared film since before I moved away from New York six years ago. In fact, the roll expired in November 2001. When we went on a weekend trip to J's house in Meredith, I figured it's now or never, so I strapped a Roscolux #26 red filter swatch over the

Brooklyn Public Library ContestBrooklyn, New York - November 2005Yeah, I posted this one before, I know, but this is here for a little self-promotion. This photo was selected as a finalist in the Brooklyn Public Library's 2007 "My Brooklyn" photo and essay contest. This means, among other things, that this shot and my essay will be on display

The BoathouseBrooklyn, New York - May 2007I love how old this photo looks even though I only took it a couple of weeks ago while walking through prospect park. I dig this Efke film. This is ISO100, and I feel like I had a hard time exposing it correctly. I wonder what's going to happen when I get to the roll of ISO25 I bought not long ago. If

FlagsHuntington, New York - May 2007I used to take lots of photos of shadows. For a while, I thought of photography not as taking pictures of light, but taking pictures of dark, shadows, negative space. This shot reminds me of that older stuff. The pavement makes this one looks grainier than it really is.-=-Taken with an Olympus XA on Ilford

This ThingBrooklyn, New York - March 2007I went through a bit of a Through the Viewfinder revival a while back. So brief that I forgot about it until I was scrolling through some of my photos and came across this photo. This is a pretty standard baby toy, so, as with most toys, this was the last time it was seen with all its parts in once

ThrifteeBrooklyn, New York - April 2007That's some intense grain there. That's what happens when you develop expired Fuji Superia 200 color film as black and white in Difine. Shot with a Nikon F and it's beat up 50 mm f/1.4 lens with a loose inner element.I like this one. The grain makes it look old, maybe taken from a newspaper, even thuough

The point where pitch counts are the single most important stats--at
