"Casual Abyss" A Hamburger Eyes Photography Exhibit at The Mission Cultural Center SF
photo exhibit currently up at the Mission Cultural Center in San Francisco, California.
(www.missionculturalcenter.org)
I shot some digitally and some with film. I did drum scans of the film and made chromogenic prints with the full negative edges showing in the final prints. I made prints between 16"x24" and 50"x70"- which is the largest print size I have made to date. The show runs from May 11th to June 5th and they are open 10-5pm everyday of the week. Stop by if you are free. I will also be posting installation shots of the exhibit shortly.

The Streets of St. Pete

Shooting portraits on the streets of St. Petersburg when I was growing up had a very strange quality. There was an abundance of eccentric and interesting people around. Mostly because St. Pete was once the retirement destination of choice,- there was always a huge population of "senior citizens" wandering around. It kind of retained the look of the 1950s because most of it's inhabitants were still dressing the same until 2000.
When I was growing up the average age of the town was 64- that is an old average.
But beyond age there was also a certain surreal style that seems to have pervaded the town like no where else I have ever lived.
