I stumbled upon this while taking a walk in the woods. I thought a lone flower blooming in a in a forest that was still mostly brown was interesting. I personally thought this one worked better as a black and white, but I think ill post both because their both pretty neat.

Spring is finally here. Here's a shot of a flower in a bottle.
[Photo's] 4/14/15 More 35mm Film Photos.
I decided to scan the remaining film images that I have yet to scan. These were originally taken in the fall of 2014, I just never got around to scanning them. The first image is just a typical shot of some shoes. The last two shots however, are an experiment with a few darkroom techniques.
I was attempting to see what would happen if I layered two negatives on top of one another during the enlargement process. In order to make things interesting I looked through a box of poorly developed negatives, and found one that looked like it was damaged in the development process. I than layered that on top of a rather boring yet properly developed shot, and this happened.

This is just a quick snapshot of an idea I had. I originally wanted to do something with old playing cards. I thought it would be a good idea to attach one to the spokes of a bike like in old cartoons. I even went through the trouble of staining the card, however it's not very noticeable in this shot. I will definitely try some more stuff with these stained playing cards. In the meantime heres a picture of a bike.

This idea came into my head out of the blue. I thought to myself "You know what would be cool, shoes on that old staircase in the basement." Than after a few minutes of throwing stuff on the ground this happened. I definitely need to work on the composition of this one some more, but for all intents and purposes its a pretty cool snapshot. Who knows maybe I can use it as a base for something else.
[Work in progress] Grape Fanta Bottle.
A while ago I took a photo of a Strawberry Fanta Bottle, at the moment it is one of my favorite shots that Ive ever taken. I came up with the idea to do an entire series similar to that photo. The idea was to take a shot of every single flavor against a background to match. With strawberry being on red, grape on purple, lemon on yellow, and of corse the original on orange. I recently tried my hand at the grape bottle and the result is shown below. It's a start but I definitely will revisit this one and perhaps try it again. Although it's not finished, I just wanted to post it so that it wont go unseen.

Another snapshot I took with my phone. After posting this to instagram, I decided that I liked this shot. I than took the original photo into lightroom and made some improvements. The following is the result. This is another photo that was taken "Just For Fun".
[Photo] 3/13/15 - "Out Of Place"
After what seamed like a brutal winter we've finally been having some nice weather here in northern Maryland. I decided to use this opportunity to get out of the studio and walk outside.
Below is what I came up with. Nothing special, just a baseball sitting in a cornfield.
