Digital/Traditional Photography

This was taken in a sweet shop in Vienna, Austria. I raised the clarity as well as added some HDR, and finished by making it black and white.

Here is one of my traditional darkroom pieces. I exposed the image for two seconds under medium light and then dipped my palm in the developer and dragged it across the page. I took this photo of two of my porcelain dolls; an Irish princess and an English guard. I finished off the smear with a few sprays from the developer bottle.

This piece is arguably one of my best. I made this in the fall of 2010, so three years ago my god I'm getting old, and it took eight or nine tries to develop this properly and bring the sky out; I had to cut a stencil in order to burn the sky in without completely silhouetting the statue. This was taken at Rose Hill Cemetary in Chicago, Illinois.

This picture was taken over the summer during a bonfire at my aunt and uncle's trailer. Not the best quality, I know, but it's the clearest picture of fire I've ever gotten. Almost everybody who sees it says there's a woman in the fire on the right.

 

One of my newest digital pieces, I took this recently in Chicago. I'm particularly fond of the placement of the sun and the resulting shadows.

 

A piece taken in Warsaw, Poland, in the summer of 2011. This memorializes the Polish citizens to held an uprising against their Nazi occupants. This memorial-and all of my pictures of it-hold a very deep meaning for me. I used an HDR filter to clear this picture up a bit and I am happy with the metallic affect that resulted.
