I love models. I love the way their bone structure causes light to fall differently on their face. I love they have to learn to communicate so much through their eyes, to tell the story you are trying to tell. I love how they can take on different looks and moods with just a change of styling. I love how they are aware photographically what to do with their bodies down to their toes. A model, to me, is a human canvas where we paint our stories. These are some photographs we made for MAKE cosmetics, I just love looking at her face.

What I love about Polaroid film is the notion that you only get one shot. Unlike digital where you can take hundreds on the same subject, the limitations of Polaroid film make you slow down and really be ready to capture a single image. The unexpected bubbles, uneven development, rips or tears all add character to the image. Compare these Polaroid images to film taken with a Hasselblad of the same subject in my story Central Park, Quiet as the Falling Snow~

Awakened with a kiss
“This sculpture by Antonio Canova recreates the moment at which Psyche awakens from her deathly sleep by the kiss of Eros. The dynamic sculpture conveys a deep sense of love, passion and energy as Eros sweeps from the sky to awaken Psyche from her slumber. Psyche throws up her arms elegantly to receive Eros’ kiss.” –Psyche Revived by Cupid’s Kiss by Antonio Canova 1787. Louvre, Paris

Ten Polaroids~ Upper West Side

Manhattan’s Upper West Side is synonymous with timelessness. Photographing something timeless allows the photographer to choose how to capture these moments and share them, either referencing a time passed or the present. While nothing can last forever, the look of it may be able to transcend time and place, and come to rest in a space more suited for our memories than reality. I headed out one winter’s weekend in New York for a walk around my neighborhood to capture the places and sights that stand to represent an area of New York, and for me, a certain time in my life. I shot these nine images with my Polaroid 440 Land Camera and black and white instant film.

Mercer House.

One of my favorite things I did in Savannah. Jim Williams is on my most interesting people list. The objects he collected and put in his home were beyond amazing not to mention the amounts of resturation work he did for Savannah and the arts.

This image was taken with one of my favorite Polaroid cameras I bought in Texas at a flea maket for $5… you can’t buy happiness that cheap everyday.
