More fetish.

I'm pretty much freezing. My space heater comes and goes.

More from my Fetish series.

I think I picked up my liking of vignettes from being a fan of Joel Peter-Witkin.

Not too much else to update, really.

Any way.

Started taking photos of the day with film...may be a while before I actually get those scanned and up on here.

Here is more from my Fetish Project 2009.

Smoking Fetish

Smoking fetish. I really love this wall, and I used it in the next photo as well. Some may see it as repetitive, but I really just like the wall to be honest.

Mysophilia

Mysophilia.

I am thinking of scanning some of my older 35mm film work because you can definitely see how I came to do a whole series on fetishes - I did a series called "Peepshow." Some photos came out better than others, but who is interested in seeing these?

Quick rant, I wish people would understand the difference between a good photographer and being good at photoshop. Some times, I feel certain photographers rely so heavily on photoshop that it's lost the original meaning behind photography. Now, I do use light room for various edits but I really don't see it as a substitute for taking a good photo in the first place. I really love when people use photoshop but you can be convinced that they actually set that scenario up - which I am a big fan of. I love setting up "scenarios" without thinking "Oh I can just photoshop that in later." I love manually editing my own film - I find it interesting and exciting because unlike photoshop, once you do it, it's done and you can't go back.

Just a small thought.

It's hard to make conversation..

When you can't get any words out.

Gag - Fetish Project 2009

Part of a series I did on fetishes in 2009. Inkjet print on Archival Paper. Currently working on other things, but I will post these past works till I have new work ready to show.

Also working on Photo of the Day things...it's hard to get them all up when you use film, but I won't limit myself to film. The next couple days were all digital, as that is what I took photos with.

First image is from Jan. 1, around 1-2am - of course, "NYE."
