35mm: Greensboro

This morning I scanned in some weird little Greensboro scenes (my favorite kind!)

I loooove deliberately showing off the parts of a city that aren't and never, ever will be on any of its postcards—the abandoned strip malls with their cracked parking lots and those giant, all-caps "LIQUIDATION SALE" and "EVERYTHING MUST GO" signs that have been sun-bleached that off-putting shade of turquoise (in the style of bad restaurant menu imagery---you know the ones). This Catherine Opie photograph captures this general feeling well, but in black and white:

 

Here are three of my favorite shots with the Diana mini. (This is it---you can absolutely tell these photos were taken with a plastic toy camera, which I love.)

Helps us formalists and perfectionists surrender a bit of technical control ;-)

I've started going on these mini photo trips a little more regularly, and am thinking of making them a group hang (ie. photo walk). Send me a message here if interested in joining, and we'll chat!

Hello!

Hey friends. Thanks for clicking this tab! I'm excited to give blogging a second go---my WordPress blog was fine, but the writing was lame (haha) and I like the idea of starting afresh.

This is where I'll post travel photos + blurbs/misadventure tales, art tutorials, photo stories, project announcements, and whatever else comes to mind.

I also post my photos + artwork to Instagram and inspiration images + music to Tumblr, so feel free to follow along there as well. :-)

THANKS for joining in! Even if it's just my grandma reading this rn--hey Grandma--I'm excited to get this going.

Here are two snaps from the studio (a.k.a. any available wall space in my apartment)
