Went to the Ohio State Fair at the Ohio Fairgrounds in early August and at the time thought these pictures sucked so I didn’t do anything with them…today after looking through my Lightroom catalog these popped out at me, and quite a few of the photos I liked. This was a fun day and I’m happy to have it on my blog!
Still interested in film (moving images)...still excited to do more...I probably spend more time being inspired by, and thinking about films. This was intended to be part of a longer composition but arrived at it's own happy place being 1 minute and 15 seconds. Now wish that it could have been of a greater length because the music my friend Sean and I created for this was really exciting. Thanks Miriam for jumping in the really cold pool and to Sean for not only contributing to the music, but recording it also. First video here, second video here.
This was the caption I used when I posted these photos on Instagram: I often think about recreating photos I feel very inspired by, so when my friend Kahlil dyed his hair green it was the perfect opportunity to recreate the cover of Blonde by Frank Ocean, whose original photo was taken by Wolfgang Tillmans. I think Blonde is an incredible work of art, and I credit it's influence on my life since it came out. Our version was shot in my bathroom with a single flash gelled with a 1/4 CTO. The second photo is a play on the theme of the original, which I think came out pretty well. Thanks Frank and thanks Wolfgang for making all our lives less boring and more inspired!
