Star Trek or What?

Star | Trek | ?, a photo by Complication due to Wolf. Harmony. on Flickr.

When I was a kid I watched a lot of Star Trek. Recently I viewed some images online of galaxies and other deep space phenomena. I decided to try to make some images like that using photography and digital imaging technology. This is the result... or one of them at least. It looks to me like a blend between Hubble photos and a backdrop from an episode of the original series...

Film & My Digital Remorse.

Nikon FG | Colour Print, a set on Flickr.

I have been spending a lot of time and effort within the Android photography environment over the past few months. Even before that I was focused on DSLR and even my blackberry... but the truth is, nothing will ever, ever replace print film in terms of it's ability to convey emotion from viewfinder to printed image.

I have loved film since I was a boy. Before I even learned how to hold a camera. Watching my father load up his Nikon FG (which is now mine), cupping the lens between his legs with the strap still around his neck. The ritual of advancing the film into the camera, winding it back snug and advancing until the S was showing on the dial. This is something almost religious. And like all of the other religious activities in my life, it has fallen by the wayside in my adulthood.

Somehow this one feels like more of a loss than any of the rest. I do love digital photography and I believe in the sometimes misguided advance of humanity into the future via technology... but I do hope god forgives me for using a mobile phone to create art and being a part of the decline and (probably) eventual extinction of print film from the world.

I totally censored myself!

Have I blogged this yet? Probably not. Can you believe a major photographic publication actually turned down the opportunity to publish this image? Ya, I can too... 

I still have no idea what this is saying. Someone somewhere must know. Find them and bring them to me!

Price of Perspective

Broken buildings are some of my favorite things. Decaying structures have a way of showing us construction techniques without even trying. They also represent the passage of time, the cycle of events and nature. They are bitter and they are sweet. They are toil and they are sweat, and pleasant moments. They are textures, contrasts, colours and shapes.



Perspective comes at a cost.

Potato Sack Patio Bucket

Potato Sack Patio Bucket, a photo by Complication due to Wolf. Harmony. on Flickr.

My daughter fills this bucket with gravel, then makes me carry it around behind her while she walks down the sidewalk picking up sticks. One of my favorite things to do on a cloudy afternoon in June.

I am working on this patio. It is much farther along now.

The potato sacks contain potatoes. Alive.

Dormant | Stagnant

2+ Months off. That's what I call bad blogging. According to experts, 1 post per week is the bare min for a successfully blog. Twice per week is better. Daily is best. This blog has been stagnant since the end of September. It is now mid-December. The "Holidays" are comin'. I should post more.

I have also been neglecting my flickr account... and my other blog has been dormant since the end of July. This one is easier so I focus on it more. Writing mini-essays about novels, comic books and TV shows takes a surprising amount of time. I will get back to it, I swear.
