March and April
I realized, in going through my images recently, that I have not found a home for the work that I did the last few months in Fayetteville, or during this summer with the Winston-Salem Journal. I hope you enjoy the next few posts as much as I enjoyed my time making them. Interning at The Fayetteville Observer was an incredible experience and I cannot thank the staff of photographers at that paper enough for all of their help, feedback and encouragement. I was sad to leave, but happy for the nine months I spent with their paper, and in the southeastern part of North Carolina (an area previously unknown to me, and now all too familiar).

In the middle of a busy day there was a bit of beauty as the sun set behind the trees. And of all places for something goegeous to happen, this was in the school parking lot. Look at that color---beauty is all around us!
Colored Water
In Design Lab last semester we were given a major (and very fun) assignment: Colored Water. We had to photograph water that was colored with food dyes in order to convey cool, warm, neutral and rich (triadic). They were shot in the studio using hot lights, colored gels, glassware and medium format cameras. We were supposed to use Tungsten-balanced color transparency film in order to capture the beautiful hues created in the water. This was a labor-intensive project, albeit incredibly fun.
These images are scans of negatives that I did not submit, but still liked very much. The top is for "cool" and was shot in a glass cube that had been frozen with water that was dyed blue. As I shot, it began to thaw, but I really liked seeing the condensation form on the outside of the glass because I felt that emphasized the fact that the vessel was chilled.
The bottom, "neutral" was shot using a tall pint glass with plain seltzer water. Visually, I wanted to show the repetition of circles by shooting from above and showing the lip of the glass, the bottom of the glass and the bubbles all coexisting in the same space.
rusted
I am perpetually drawn to the texture, hue and abstract nature of rust. These images are from scans of negs from a roll of color negative film I shot with my Yashica Mat in East Bend last Fall.
