I photographed Marissa a long while back as a personal fine art project I am working on. It’s not until now that I finally got around to processing the images. These were shot on 4×5 film. Film is still lovely!

Work in progress

I started off as a fine arts photographer, and one of the projects that I concentrated on was urban landscapes at night, shot with a 4×5 camera on film. It was grueling work, but very rewarding. As I got busy with weddings and portraits I stopped working on that project for a long time, but last Saturday I decided to push myself again. The night was beautifully foggy and I couldn’t resist. I left my apartment at 10pm with my 4×5 and came home at 6am. In those 8 hours I produced 8 images, and these are the results. Most were shot in Everett and a few in Somerville.

Disclaimer: these were scanned at home on a crappy scanner and not worked on much. As such they are not complete. I will be printing these myself in a darkroom, at which point the final version of the images will reveal themselves to me.

Boston Massacre vs. Port Authority

For the longest time Suzi and I have been dying to see some roller derby, and yesterday we finally got our chance! There were almost 1600 people at the Shriners Auditorium in Wilmington to see the Boston Massacre battle against Maine’s Port Authority. We won, 128-24. It was a blast. Here’s some images!

It’s not easy being green…

…but it’s important. †I have been pushing to make my business a bit more green, by reducing the paperwork I maintain, using an environmentally friendly lab and offering new products that have a smaller carbon footprint. †Now I’m proud to announce that I have been accepted into Greener Photography, a collective of photographers that are environmentaly conscious. †As clichÈd as this sounds, it truly is important for all of us to do our part.
