ATL In July

From a purely left-brain point-of-view, it seems that I did everything wrong with this photograph. I was using a grainy film with a half-frame camera on a hot and hazy day in Summer. What was I thinking? But the right brain tells me that the image itself works, and I am sure glad I have this particular moment recorded on a piece of film.

Tasting notes: Olympus Pen FT, 38mm f/1.8, Kodak XX film. 

Tense and Nervous, Can't Relax

Sometimes the world is a bit chaotic, and instead of seeing formal compositions I tend to notice tensions, conflict in the frame. I also tend to prefer monochrome, but sometimes color won't be denied... 

Rubbed Out Around the Corner

Living in Berlin for a couple of years back in the day, I learned a good bit of the German language. Sadly, it's faded over the years, but one of my favorite expressions was um die Ecke bringen. It means to get rid of someone, as in to rub them out (like a cigarette) as we might say in English. The expression has a certain Cold War vibe, and may be coming back into relevance, who knows for sure what lies around the corner?

Tasting notes: Leica R9, 35 mm Summicron (version 2), Lomography Berlin 400, Buckhead neighborhood of Atlanta.
