Thank you, @jessicaburko , for taking these photos at the Exposure 2024 closing reception! These are the only pics of Dave and me together because I’m terrible at remembering to take selfies with friends when I see them. Third to last image is us talking with juror Samantha Johnston, who flew in from Colorado. Last two are all the EXPOSURE 2024 exhibitors present that night with Samantha.

From the backyard today. Tested out a new camera back around my house before going out into the wild with it. Light leak free 🙌🏻 Tmax 100 in HC-110 (B) for 6 minutes #RB67 #Tmax #shotonkodak

The courtyard fountain at Cosanti again. I’ve tried this shot several times. It is a good test subject. I do have to field questions often about using an analog camera to customers sometimes. It can get in the way of actually taking the photo. 1:🟡 2:🔴

We tried something similar, but different,  with the latest roll of film for our collaboration. While our subject matter was familiar (both of us shooting around our respective homes), we tried running this roll in two different higher-end glass lens cameras and not our usual go-to Holgas. We each shot a stop down and tried to leave more room on the film for the other one. Mixed results—as always—but we really hit with this one. #experimentalphotography #conceptualphotography #analogphotography #conceptual_photography #shotonkodak

Good morning. We are thrilled to announce that our work was selected by Elizabeth Avedon for inclusion in the new “light” exhibit at A Smith Gallery. Amanda Smith and Kevin Tully also included it as one of 27 in the catalog. Thank you for having our work shown.

Definitely achieved some Twilight Zone vibes with set. This is actually Lucy’s sister Rosie. (Yes, I found her stunt double on eBay.)
