Then we went and took Berlin.
Meredith, New Hapmpshire - June 2007
I've had this roll of Kodak's HIE Infrared film since before I moved away from New York six years ago. In fact, the roll expired in November 2001. When we went on a weekend trip to J's house in Meredith, I figured it's now or never, so I strapped a Roscolux #26 red filter swatch over the case of my Olympus XA2, and shot at EV100, then developed the roll at home in Diafine. A lot of them came quite a bit beter than I expected they would.

Let's ask my Speak and Spell.
Brooklyn, New York - November 2005
Yeah, I posted this one before, I know, but this is here for a little self-promotion. This photo was selected as a finalist in the Brooklyn Public Library's 2007 "My Brooklyn" photo and essay contest. This means, among other things, that this shot and my essay will be on display at the Brooklyn Public Library's main branch in Grand Army Plaza through the summer starting on Wednesday June 20, 2007. I'm pretty happy. This is the first time I've ever won, or come close to winning, any photography or writing contests, so here's to me. I raise my Saranac Pale Ale to myself.

A brilliant su doku engineer.
Huntington, New York - May 2007
I used to take lots of photos of shadows. For a while, I thought of photography not as taking pictures of light, but taking pictures of dark, shadows, negative space. This shot reminds me of that older stuff. The pavement makes this one looks grainier than it really is.

Anyone can be king of France.
Beaune, France - July 2005
This photo was used as the front cover of the Clag Hats' Hula (new window)album in 2003. That's right. This means that it was used as the cover before two years before it was taken.
