here’s one from the past, from DragWars, a drag competition I shot in 2010 in Phoenix for The Arizona Republic/azentral.com
looking at old work is really interesting, the stuff i thought was good back then isn’t and the stuff i didn’t think twice about then i like now. this is chad from 2009
visa application photography guide
it always intrigues me to find institutional guidelines for photography, i immediately want to think about the application of this in other contexts. or things i might find on one of these lists someday, like guidelines for facial expression. i got to see the intake mugshot space at a police station once and they had these homemade plywood lighting boxes mounted to the wall that ensured every photograph came out flat and evenly lit without variation. maybe ill make some bullet points about what to include/not include in the photographs i take
SNAPS
i recently got a point and shoot camera and ive been taking unflattering pictures of my friends and other things
shoes i saw last weekend
a couple of outtakes from my shoot with Tradehill CEO and bitcoin millionaire Jered Kenna for Bloomberg Businessweek
Humane Slaughter for Modern Farmer Magazine.
Stories like this are the reason I became a photographer in the first place. I love getting pushed outside my comfort zone and experiencing something totally outside of my normal realm of existence. I am so thankful to Ayanna Quint for this assignment exploring “Humane Slaughter” at the amazing Prather Ranch in Northern California. Full project here. Of all the assignments i’ve ever had, this was by far the most gnarly and I am very proud of it. As somebody who was a vegetarian for several years, this was a really important thing to see. I always talk like “as long as I “know” where the meat came from, I’m ok with it.” Well, now I really KNOW where this meat came from…
Thanks to Damien for the help on the assignment as well. I know that wasn’t super easy…
***I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW GRAPHIC THIS PROJECT IS. YOU”VE BEEN WARNED. ***
I’ve never reblogged anything before but this warrants it—easily one of the most intense experiences I’ve ever had, something I’m not soon to forget. I really appreciate Mike asking me to come along on this, and the ranch for being so open to us photographing every stage of the process. There are some really striking images here.
