they heard me singing and they told me to stop, quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock

This boat is 40 centimeters from bow to stern. This photo was taken in the reflecting pool at the First Church of Christ the Scientist, Boston, Massachusetts.

 This is the same image as above, but solarized. Solarization is a darkroom process in which as the print develops one flashes an extremely bright light on it. It's incredibly unpredictable.

Matthew Farnham sitting on Rue St. Catherines in Montreal. I only wanted his eyes to develop, and they came out fantastic. This is done in an 80's esque style.
He stood there at the corner looking out over everything for ten minutes. He didn't have anything to say. He just stood there and watched the world move.

Best photobomb ever.

What matters most is how well you walk through the fire.

 This is a portrait of Elitsa Papazova of Quebec and Bulgaria in Parc de la Fontaine Montreal. I really love how her eyes turned out. It actually does some justice.
 This is a portrait of Professor Emeritus Raymond Pelletier in Tenants Harbor, Maine.
 This is a portrait of Virginie Salilou of Brest, France, and Augusta, Maine. It did not develop properly.
 These are a set of experimental photographs I took.
 Busy, busy, busy.



Beneath the epitaph read "Can't buy me love because Nancy said so." Experimental photography abounds.

Thank you for showing me this cave! It was extraordinary.

Very recently I have developed a new sense of freedom. I don't know what it is, but I drive past my exit on the interstate and keep going. I drive by my house instead of going directly home. I wander a lot more than I have been.

Times Flies


 We live on a wet round and crowded rock called Earth. It is the only rock that we know of that has life. We are a significant insignificance in the universe. I think that's what lets us see the beauty within ourselves and on Earth.
My friends in their natural habitat.

Black and White, It's all right

 "I promise I'll only take one picture."
 "Nathan! Smile damnit!"
 "Can I take a picture of your baby? I'm a blogger."
"Sure just make sure you put it on the internet so I can find it!"
 "You kids grew up quick."
 "Allissa! I got you in the reflection of the sunglasses!"
"This camera is being difficult."
"It's nice to take a break from selling."
