These were some of the pictures i had made last semester that inspired me to go back to Las Vegas with my medium format camera. These pictures were made with a large format camera. For those that dont know, its a huge fucking camera that is annoying sometimes and doesnt work the way you want it to sometimes, but when you make a picture out of it, there is this sense of detail you just cant get in any other camera. That experience brought me to my current experiences. I posted these up because i had just got back from Vegas with my friend and made lots of pictures. They are being developed currently. It was a fun time all around, a great time was had by all. I will update when i have all the negatives in.

Ah polaroids, the good, the bad, and the ugly. What is there to say about it that hasnt been said by millions of hipsters everywhere. Its fun, instant, and not as serious as an slr camera. I love the polaroid camera because of that last reason mostly, no one takes you seriously with it. However, you can make some amazing pictures with it. I want to get a hold of some more polaroid film before its all gone and starts to cost as much as gas money. There is just so much you can get out of certain polaroid cameras and different modifications you can make. My personal favorite polaroid camera is the sx-70 because it controls like an slr camera, lots of amazing colors come out of it.

this is part of a project im working on for my color 2 class…im kind of fucking around but there is some meaning behind it, basically its me working with cross processing my film, it should be a cool project that will eventually have some substance to it. if not, it will make for something at least visually engaging, besides, i dont make enough pictures of my self anyways. *rolls eyes*

i had gotten the opportunity to shoot a concert by Gza of the Wu Tang Clan, it was a pretty exciting moment because i grew up listening to Wu Tang and he preformed one of my favorite albums of all time, Liquid Swords, maybe ill upload my liquid swords tape he signed.
