This farm is only a few miles from my house, probably a lot less as the crow flies. I love shooting in the fog. It gives an other worldly/cinematic feel to the photos. Besides, one of my earlier photos in the fog, made me insufferable for a year or so.
Anyways, here are two versions of the same photo. Which do you prefer? Answer in the comments please!
I picked up a Minolta SRT 101 film camera from the 70s a little while back from a friend on Facebook. I like the way film looks, and wanted to see how this camera would do. I headed out to the Air Mobility Museum at DAFB where I showed you some black and white photos before and gave this camera a go. I’m going to pass the camera on because I’m not a big fan of how it meters. But, don’t the photos look so … 70s?
So, I made a new word up. I’m an artist I can do that. I think a lot of my photos, especially my Holga images are best when they hint at a movie that’s never been made or seen, except in our minds. When they have that cinematic feel, I connect with them on some level. This photo was done somewhere on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I’m not sure of exactly where it is because it was the result of me following my nose on a drive. This kind of reminds me of the movie “Psycho” or the TV show “the Adams Family”
I’m fascinated with the old places. This was someones pride and joy when built. I imagine many children playing in the yard. Now, it’s been abandoned to the elements. What happened? Was the only son killed in a war? Did the parents die and leave orphaned children to be sent off out of state?
What story does it bring to your mind?
