Andrew - Post #1

These images were made with my medium format TLR and Lomochrome metropolis film. I've been making photographs outdoors when I can, usually on walks with Max and drives down the back roads where I can keep a distance from others. Trips outdoors are becoming less frequent and I will start photographing in and from the windows of my home as the peak date of the virus nears. Bowling Green gets eerily quiet after the sun goes down and I may give color night photography a try.

    I am liking this pallet of brown and grey, especially in 1, 3, and 4. I feel like those are also your voice, your black and white photos echoes in those kind of pallet choices, it might be a way to blend it, having mute tones. I also like the emptiness that you mentioned in these photos, and the open plains I think best show it, especially since I drove down the roads for work, can get a sense of change in the air. Curious if you will continue this pallet as well of faded brown and grey, I think it will be interesting, but always curious on your color work.

    I agree with Logan about the pallet and the space in these pictures. They work together to created a quiet and peaceful air which I enjoy. Because the distance from you and the subject seem to be similar distances in all images they flow together nicely. I would actually like to see images with different spacing to see who your photography will change according to the space you give in between you and your subject.

    I really enjoy the light color palette and softness of these photos. I like #1-4 the best, especially the way the clouds almost engulf the subjects in each. In #2 there's something eerie about how the dog is looking right at the camera, and I really like how this makes me question what is really happening in the place. It's a great example of having an animal be in a photo but not making it cliche in any way.

    I cannot believe how 1 and 3 look. The film you are usings seems to really fit well with the world we are living in now. I really appreciate how the film seems to react to highlights, and cannot wait to see more. Have you made any prints?

My practice drastically changed once going into quarantine. I found it very difficult to have any motivation once being home all the time. This is especially because I was mainly photographing people. I was no longer able to photograph people in the same way, and ended up mainly photographing my brother in different metroparks in the Toledo area. This proved to be a challenge  as I could no longer shoot on film either, and my dslr stopped working a week into quarantine. This led to most of my photos being phone pics. With these limitations I tried to play off of weird projects I already had been doing. My photos for mom series are literal phone pictures I have always taken for my mom of my brother and I doing weird things in parks. This also drew off of my idea to make eye-spy type pictures of my brother and I hiding in the trees. The last of my film photos are also stuck as edited TIFFs. I was unable to download photoshop as my laptop has no storage, and the files were too big for...

    I'm sure everyone is well aware how stressful and anxiety ridden this semester has been. For myself personally, I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. I work at a nursing home in town, so when this all broke out I had to evaluate what was more important- exposing myself as a high risk individual, or taking a leave from my job and being broke, jobless, and unable to pay rent. The latter wasn't a viable option. There were so many points in this semester where I wanted to stop and give up, throw away all my classes and just lock myself in my house forever. Especially when my facility finally became exposed to COVID-19. It was hard to cope with all of this, I had only my partner to rely on.      At some point me and my partner started to go for walks to clear our heads. There's something centering about acknowledging the smaller parts of the world around you. As I started to take photos, I was able to zoom in and recognize the smaller worlds that ...

                                   This semester has been a tough one as we all know. I was going to use this class this semester to revisit the art of color photo that I had put on the back burner. My editing skills had decreased a lot since the first time I took the class and I had hoped it would get better during the course of the semester. However, as we know the class didn't go as planned so I resorted to using my little digital camera to do my shooting rather than my film camera. This was a hard transition because I make pictures so differently on that camera than with my film camera. However, Meadow and I started developing our own film and got a scanner. So for the last couple of weeks, I had been shooting new film pictures and scanning them. However, my photoshop canceled due to money issues. I am using other programs now. I developed old film from a year ago and wanted to pair the...
