Dusty Sunset by Philipp Klinger

"Acres
Visible horizon
Right where it starts and ends
When did we start the end ?

Acres
Visible illusion
Where it starts it ends
Love like a sunset"

Chisholm Trail

One of my favorite Grandpa lines: "I remember when I was on the Chisholm Trail with Wild Bill Hickok and Daniel Boone punching cattle...man it was tough in those days!"

I'll see you in my dreams...

Grandma, I love you and miss you so much.

Impressionistic Polaroids

When I was around 10 years old I remember watching a local morning news report about Polaroid manipulation. The segment told the story of a guy who had been given a Polaroid camera by his father and "accidentally" found a way to change the photos into mini artwork...

The following pictures are not photoshop'd but instead they are physically manipulated while the polaroid is developing...

Because the emulsion in Polaroids is gelatin-based, and the Mylar covering does not allow water vapor to readily pass, the emulsion stays soft for several days, allowing artists to press and manipulate the emulsion to produce effects somewhat like impressionist paintings.

This is a pretty good video explaining how to manipulate polaroids...

Pretty cool huh?!?

I just bought a old school Polaroid SX-70 off of ebay yesterday (you know I had too). Hopefully I'll have it in my hands next week!!! Although I got the camera for a great deal (cheap as hell), film is gonna cost me a bit of change but in the end it'll be worth it...

****You can only do this w/ the now discontinued (since 2006) SX-70 film. This technique will NOT work w/ the still available (but hard to find) Polaroid 600 film. Just wanted to let you know before you go and start investing in Polaroid equipment like my dumba$$ did...****

June One Six, Seven One...

Crazy to think he would have been 38 today....

I took the picture below at the infamous Las Vegas intersection, Koval and Flamingo, where he was fatally shot in 96'...

End Times by Jill Greenberg

Photographer Jill Greenberg's series of photographs called "End Times" features children crying. The children are provoked by Greenberg taking away their candy or toys. This technique is known as "manipulation." The idea for this exhibit came to Greenberg when she was shooting a little boy who wouldn't stop crying. She was captivated by his face that she describes as "appalled."

Many critics have spoken out against Greenberg, saying that she is abusing children in the search for a good photograph. Greenberg rebuffs these statements: "The people who are criticising weren't at the shoot and all the mother's were fine with it." When criticized for making children cry, Greenberg reminds viewers that this is "the exact technique used in ads and movies and TV."

Dioramas

Diorama can refer either to a nineteenth century mobile theatre device, or, in modern usage, a three-dimensional full-size or miniature model, sometimes enclosed in a glass showcase for a museum. Dioramas are often built by hobbyists as part of related hobbies such as military vehicle modeling, miniature figure modeling or aircraft modeling.

Unlike before, these are real miniature models...
