let's do it again

another polaroid 450 test shot.

i've been pretty awful lately about putting together playlists for this blog. normally i'd have one up for the summer by now, it's just hard to find the time and energy. still, i did just put together my first true attempt at a dj mixtape. take a listen if your ears are in need some some noise ...

  

have i doubt when i'm alone

another couple images made with the polaroid 450 during the reynosa shoot.

here i go and i don't know why

i haven't shot much with polaroid land cameras -- i've always had one laying around, but mostly just for fun. i picked up a rangefinder 450 model specifically for the reynosa shoot. these are a few of the initial test shots i took while i was trying to figure out how to work the thing. (turns out the focus was busted. it doesn't matter much, i guess, given the lo-fi feel i we were going for. the camera's in the shop now.)

coming in all directions

i've been trying to do more projects these days -- keep busy, creative. last weekend, i saw reynosa -- a punk//cumbia//indie//everything band -- play in north portland. i've always loved their stuff, but this time around i was downright moved. so, on saturday, i shot some photos of them. i used an old polaroid 450 land camera and black and white pull apart film and tried to channel, in a super loose way, robert mapplethrope shooting patti smith for some of her early albums -- horses in particular.

this is one of my favorite group shots. i'll be posting more soon.

up against the wall

i don't normally post instagram pics up here, but there's something about this snapshot of sean that i really like. so here it is. all blown up. you can check out the rest of my instragram feed at instagrid.me/instant_ces. i might be posting more of them as time goes on.

in the meantime, i have a lot of new stuff coming up, i just need to get my act together and get it all edited and ready to go. stand by!
