Natasha - 2000

Recently started shooting distorted images with fun house effect again...
will share new series when further developed.

Weigh-in: What do you see?

2011-11-11T19:42:00.001-05:00

(1996)

The first photograph I ever printed (left) - actual image from the negative I was attempting to print (right)

All the film I hand processed was over-developed & bullet proof.

All the prints I made that day (an entire box) were under-exposed & riddled with dust -

a Mess!

I left the darkroom feeling totally dejected.

In the elevator, I look down at my pile of reject prints.

There I see my dad in rays of light standing next to Tom.

(Close-Up)
Just to be clear, I know there are technical answers to explain this image.

It's likely a double exposure from the enlarger or the easel moving while exposing.
(my inexperience at the time is a huge factor)

However, I choose to believe it was a sign...
it moved me to tears - cleansing me of self-doubt.

What I see is 2 male figures:
(1st) Does not have facial hair & hairline differs from Toms
(2nd) Looks like Tom - with long beard

My Father
Compare face / hairline to figure on left
(height 5'11'')

Tom

different frame than above - sharper negative

(height 6'2'')

Python Snakes in
Washington Square Park, NYC - 1998

Last shot is out of focus because I was so freaked out and ready to bolt
after his hissing & lunge.

Needless to say snakes and I do not mix and by his

reaction I assume the feeling was mutual.

Pepperoncini with an attitude!

Beautiful Gray Sky

2011-10-03T13:50:00.005-04:00

Sky in Jersey City just before this weekends rainfall.

I found the view mesmerizing...an ominous atmosphere
with these delicate little pockets of soft light piercing through.

For me it was like a visual metaphor for cleansing & hope
ready to drown out the dark.

"God Loves #02" - 2006

Under an overpass in Hoboken/Jersey City area.

I spent at least 20 min. shooting & circling the area
and although it felt eerie...I dismissed the feeling.

Heebie jeebies come with photographing abandoned desolate areas.

It wasn't until I developed my film that I realized
that someone had been lying under all those blankets...watching me.
