MONTGOMERY COUNTY PHOTOGRAPHER | ARTSY FILES

Every now and again, I get to shoot for the pure joy of shooting…I’m inspired by abandoned stuff.  Abandoned houses, shopping centers, parking lots, items.  The stories they aren’t giving up draw me to them again and again.

Why steal only the upper right bit of the rooster? Or did this happen organically? The color of that pipe…killer! Loved the angles here…the way the eye can go around and around…I’m looking through a streetlight toward the ceiling.  As for the right — that color gets me. Ultimate question: why knock down an entire building, but leave three walls standing?

Better yet, why paint rainbow stripes only halfway down a wall?

POLAROID AND POETRY

polablog3

in Just-
spring       when the world is mud-
luscious the little
lame balloonman

whistles       far       and wee

and eddieandbill come
running from marbles and
piracies and it’s
spring

when the world is puddle-wonderful

the queer
old balloonman whistles
far       and       wee
and bettyandisbel come dancing

from hop-scotch and jump-rope and

it’s
spring
and
the

goat-footed

balloonMan       whistles
far
and
wee

LONG LIVE POLAROID – main line child photographer

I’m the most impatient person I know when it comes to everything but kids.  A baby can take three hours to give me three minutes of cuteness, and I truly don’t mind.  But waiting to see images, if they’re on film, or being processed?  TORTURE!

Thus, it is with great joy that I announce: I have a new buddy.  I call her Pola.  She is beautiful, and makes images like this:

asbestosforblogBest of all, Pola produces these images INSTANTLY AND MAGICALLY, with a special sauce that makes pretty pictures appear from mere gray nothingness.  There were grabbed at the Ambler Asbestos Factory, which has long been abandoned and which first sparked my interest in photography.

So, I was trespassing quietly and softly, then “EEP!”ing with delight every time I hit the shutter button.  There is such joy in this process!   One more for you…the vines, the romantic quality, the light, the delicious-ly-awesome-Pola!

Finally, you know I *HAD* to bring my new toy to yesterday’s newborn session.  And then I learned that Autofocus on a 30-year-old camera = back up.  Back up some more, or it’s blurry.

SYRACUSE POLAROIDS – syracuse photographer

I was in Syracuse shooting & wedding-ing this weekend — it’s a four hour drive, theoretically.  In practice, the drive there was 5.5 hours, and the drive home was 6.75 hours.  Let’s just say that my personal hell would have a merge point located every 3 miles and no evidence of construction in sight.

These iPhone photos are my way of turning a frown (not moving, stuck on a highway) upside down (iPhone polaroid montage!) — wedding images later in the week, peeps!  Happy Monday!
