Max&Gilda










Gotta love this photo, gotta love the people in it too. Printed this on matte paper last night psyched on how it turned out.

Brendan&Nancy got married!

Solarization










So I tried this technique in the darkroom called solarization but it was really late and I didn't put in a solid effort. The photo I used was of good buddies Maxxy and Leland. In solarization you basically half develop a photo and then re-expose it to light via 15watt light bulb. The desired effect is this triply embossed look that makes the edges of everything in the photo glow. You can kind of see how it worked here on the tree line in the sky. I'm gonna try again soon. Also, note the photo of a beautiful day in the summer on Toronto Isle.


Dick Jokes Issue 1.1






















I'm starting a zine these days. It's called Dick Jokes. It's going to be all black and white, preferably full bleed photos that come out of the darklaundry room in my basement(see pictures below). I'm psyched on the darkroom and I want to do something with the photos that are coming out of there, and the office I work at has a really really nice photocopier/printer. Here are a couple photos that will be in 1.1, including the cover of buddy, Alain taking a whiz before entering a party. Let me know if you want a copy, I'd be more then happy to snail mail you one or more than one if you'd like. Also, blogspot sucks so i think I'm gonna be changing the address of this blog in the near future. That is all.
