These are older shots of a series I was working on, I present them to you. They were based off a series by Melanie Pullen on Fashion Crime Scenes. The images remind me of crime scene photographers from the 30s and 40s. They also remind me of Weegee.

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 was work i had done for my large format photography class at Grossmont College late last year. It inspired a new project on San Ysidro with my other camera that I was much more comfy with. I will post shots from that project while im currently working on it.
