Fujifilm B&W in a Minolta Maxxum 5 - June 2019
Shirt Commissions #5: Amy
I really hate taking full-body, non-selfie photographs of myself, so of course I had to go and pick a hobby where it’s basically required for portfolio documentation.
This shirt is for my friend Amy. I love the print she picked — it reminds me of a Junji Ito drawing. A good fit for the Queen of Horror, Amy Demon Herself.
I found these matching googley-eye buttons at the Discount Fabrics Warehouse on Ashby. I was worried it would be Too Much but actually the final effect is pretty subtle!
I suppose I could take photos of the finished garments just on hangers, but a piece of clothing is a three-dimensional object, and it looks best when it’s lived in.

take me to the beach
Visited my brother in Seattle again, in July this time. The PNW is always beautiful but infinitely more tolerable in the summer weather.
No matter where I go I'm always drawn to the ocean.
This is the first roll of film I shot through this camera, a fully-manual Pentax Honeywell with a pancake lens that I picked up at the Goodwill near my house. The light meter is broken so I have to carry a separate one around or use Sunny 16.
What I loved about film when I started doing it in high school is the same thing I love about film now — a moment captured in time, the requirement of patience as a part of the process. I never know how these are going to turn out.
it's aloha friday; no work 'til monday
honolulu, hawaii. spring 2017.
yosemite, ca — january 2017
i don't remember whose idea it was for us to go to yosemite in the dead of winter.
i'm actually not very happy about how these turned out — it was my first time shooting b&w film in a while; the stark landscape, paired w/ constant low-light conditions, made shooting a challenge. luckily, nature likes showing off.
