Dolphin Collection Project

This is a project I started in 2010. I started it with the goal of giving away my entire dolphin collection in one give-away that took place at my house. When the response didn't turn out very well and I was left with more than half of my collection I started gifting them to local businesses. Well...whatever the opposite of stealing would be. I eventually intend to pass out all of these dolphins, but until then the project remains incomplete.

Youngstown Holga Images

First Encounters

1652

These are images of my neighbors as well as failed attempts to meet and get to know my neighbors.

I plan on continuing this series throughout the summer to build a larger body of work as well as reach out to my neighbors in an attempt to build a community.

The Mystics

This image was created as a collaborative effort with Michael Vincent Cross and Jessica Ricci using their props and creative input. I would also like to thank Michael, whom ripped his good pair of jeans climbing into the tree just because I wanted him to, although it was impractical and you can barely see him in the final image.

All the images from this series are shot with a medium format camera at night. Scanned into Photoshop with a Canon scanner and edited.
