Day 279

Day 250

Another Japan poptpop in honor of today's wedding. Caleb & Laura got married today at an amazing place in Leeds and I REALLY wanted to develop it tonight i am just too tired. poptPoint is there was a HUGE poptpop-off marathon today shooting the girls. Bryan was shooting the girls, devries was 4x5ing that, paul was shooting bryan shooting the girls, i was shooting all of that, and branden was 8mm'ing all of THAT. AND! I think Alan was in on it too..I just can't remember.

I'm hoping for nothing short of Epic 4x5s from this wedding.

Caleb decided to do it in an interesting way. He grabbed a bunch of people he knows who take pictures (though perhaps not everyone he knows, as I think everything was practically double covered) and had them each take a part. I shot the guys, and few frames of them together right after plus two frames of family/wedding party. 19 frames of 4x5 (one got jacked in the holder. misloaded. oh well), a roll of lomo, 2.66 rolls of 1V and two rolls of rollei. pretty sure it was an all-film wedding which is exciting.

And GOD the MUSIC was unreal.


Shots from that as soon as asap. Stephanie just moved here TODAY (woohoooo!) and will be settling in for a few days no doubt, but I'm planning on cramming the developing in sometime really soon.



P.S. — 250 days into Electric Lion mark ii. weird.

i promise i want to give me detail in my life and what have you.

it's been a busy week and its not slowing down until august. im very thankful for that of course. i've done two shoots this week so far and i have another tomorrow and a wedding saturday. we leave sunday for ATL then monday for costa rica for bob's wedding. that...should be awesome.

i get back from costa rica and steph comes up for interview/apartment hunting which is exciting.

i ate some pears today and MAN they are just as good as i remember them [from all of life]. they keep on staying delicious. I salute you, Pears.

i started a challenge with my sister to try to get healthier. all sorts of weekly challenges and the winner gets cash money. hopefully we'll both win by eating better and exercising and all that crap. its week three of 25. it's a long way to festivus.




also in tangentially related news, i have set it up so bryan johnson can start contributing to popTpop. he and his crew get lots of them on a regular basis, so hopefully there will be more activity over there soon. i have so many i need to post i just havent yet. forgive, all 4 of you who view that blog. it'll be a book one day, i think.


im tired.

Day 202

Day 201

A bit of a non-sequitur tonight. This is a still from 8mm. It's a photo I wish I'd gotten with a still camera but I only got it on video before they moved. I love some umbrella clusters.It's a V(s)optpop.

Day 200

Hey...day 200.

Day 198

Above is part of a Sleeping in Japan series I'm working on.


Today I shot again for my friend Emily's company. It required a freaking scissor lift. So this is me photographing two stories up teetering on some metal twigs.

Here is a shot Emily took of me up there.
