A New Direction

February 11, 2010

Its been several months since I’ve posted to this blog.   My original intent was to focus on my practice of film based photography as I had been almost exclusively shooting film for about 3 years at that point.   There was even a time when I was renting a darkroom and spend many hours each week slaving over an aromatic series of trays, doing prints the old fashioned way.

As of December the 27th of 2009 I purchased a Pentax K-x 12.4 megapixel camera after a late night bender involving half a bottle of reasonably priced red wine, a stack of receipts, and an excel chart.    Quite simply, I can’t afford to continue shooting film at the rate that I enjoy shooting.   At my average rate of shooting, the very reasonably priced Pentax will pay for itself in savings over film before the end of March.

This was a rational economic decision for an entirely irrational pursuit.

I think the new direction for this blog will be more focused on work in progress and my own thoughts on the practice of photography and submission to the creative impulse.
