This land is my land. pt 3
Finally I have some real photos to present from my travels. These are photos taken with my medium format camera (that's right, with film!). I tried really to narrow them down, but in my opinion, there were just too many good ones that I have to show more than just a few.
Lets start off with my road trip partners: Dan Gauthier and Kim Hall. This was taken at a diner on old rt.66 in New Mexico:
New Mexico (old rt.66)
Abandoned Motel in New Mexico (old rt.66)
The Petrified Forest in Arizona
Cactus Field (I believe in Arizona)
San Diego, La Jolla Beach
San Diego, La Jolla Beach
San Luis Obispo
San Luis Obispo
Elephant Seals on the coast
San Francisco
Abandoned House in northern California
Portland, Oregon
Rest Stop (not exactly sure where, probably South Dakota), and my favorite image from the whole trip. I see it almost as a self portrait.
There is a reason behind why I take any photograph. Something clicks (pun intended). I undergo an experience with each scene/person/object, one that I choose to share and keep. These types images right here are my art that I am expanding on. These are not what I get paid to do, rather, these are what I have a passion for. There is a distinct air about them. And I believe it to be what I hold inside myself, my personality, my way of life. It's how I see things, and how I want to be seen. I can't be sure that any of my readers will understand what I'm trying to say, but I will say it all the same.
