Internship time!!!
Day one of my internship at Mary Ellen Mark studios, she's an amazing photographer and it's a huge honor to be given the opportunity to work with some one who has been in the business for almost three decades. Mary Ellen is an important landmark in the history of documentary photography. The experience I will earn during this internship I'll take with me forever.

Found summer
I had some unknown film in my Nikon F, processed it and found some great summer memories. Winter go away already!

Accidentally opened the back of the camera thinking I winded all the film. Lesson learned. But I do like how both photos work together. Nice diptych.





I guess the more you try to look invisible you actually raise your chances of being picked to stand in the line.

Tony the Deli cat
After shooting at a new Hostel in Brooklyn, I passed by a deli and saw the most gorgeous and content cat sitting on a newspaper bin. I assumed he was friendly and reached out to pet him, well he wasn't...he replied with the most ferocious bite to my hand. I had to actually pry his sharp teeth off my knuckles. Wasn't the best experience. I was expecting him to dash off the bin and run away from me but he just sat there, I'm sure I saw a smirk. *shakes bruised fists*






Perfect imperfections.




Perfect imperfections. One of the many reasons I'll always love film.
If you want to know why this happened it's because I previously loaded this film into a pinhole holga camera and it was the wrong format (220 not 120) and during winding some light got in there. So I rolled back up the film in the dark and loaded it into my hassy, hoping I could salvage some images on the damaged film. So I saved half a frame.

Testing and some special effects film
As I've mentioned in the previous post I have a studio class this semester and I get to play around with artificial lights and such (not really my type, I prefer to be outdoors). But it's all a learning experience and it was fun. Some test shots from today.

The glowing skin is one of the cool effects of the sfx film, maybe I'll play around with this film outside and see what I can cook up.
