Ruination Part 2: Damaged Film








I took these photos with an old Canon point-and-shoot. I used expired film and intentionally damaged it by soaking it in whiskey prior to exposing it. In the end, I got some really interesting colors and a somewhat vintage look. Next, I think I will try using soda or coffee in the damaging process... Stay tuned!!  :)

Ruination






I took these photos last Sunday on the Southwest side of Muncie. The location was perfect; however, the weather was not cooperating at all. It was terribly cold and windy. My eyes were tearing up and my fingers were numb from the frigid temperatures. Needless to say, my perspective and wit were clouded by the elements and the failing condition of my body. Even so, I could not help but share the images I ended up with. I hope to make a trip back in the spring. Maybe then I'll find the angles that I missed! :)

Skaneateles, New York







I took these pictures in Skaneateles, New York, for a lighting class I was taking at the time. The photos had to be composed outdoors (with and without people in the shots), while solely relying on the readings of an external incident light meter. I had a time with this, as I typically use my camera's internal light meter; however, I managed to make it work and had a blast doing it. The real struggle came about while trying to get candid pictures of total strangers. I had someone ask me what paper I worked for, lol. Clearly, I was not as swift and sneaky as Henri Cartier-Bresson. :P
