I took these on the Nikon FM that I once gave to you. I wanted you to have it because I liked you both, and I wanted you to get tangled in what I thought would be a magical-type collaboration. I suppose this exchange makes it your camera, and it was certainly exposed on your film. And although I may have taken these two frames of you, with your camera, I can’t say for sure that they are entirely yours, or mine?
You can’t ever really own anything.
Amazing pictures by Jean-François Lepage
“Yes I believe there is some hidden forces around us and inside us that are unexplainable and I often feel that when I make my images. Drawing on the photographs of someone help me to understand who they are and maybe who am I.”
There are many more on the website worth looking at, not all with additional line art.
what’s up van robinson?
My draw looks just like this, Ektar, Mju ii (stylus epic?) epson scanning tray things. All the good shit.
No Church Key though…
I made a thing! A SOLAR GRAPH! It is Exeter Cathedral.
There is a great tutorial to be had over here if you want to make one! I would recommend it. We (my household and I) left this for about 2 months from mid january until mid march. It seems like a good time.
There are some more to come and they may have better results as this one was compromised!
Some new Dailies from ten rolls of film I recently developed. Lots of new Tahoe photos. Full update on my site soon.
The work of this man is worth a look. I have the same camera he took these on and have never managed to get shots like these!
Alright photographers, there’s a new photography book in town. One with a roster of some very talented photographers, might I add. Instead of showcasing their work, Photographs Not Taken is a collection of photographers’ essays about failed attempts to make a picture.
Editor Will Steacy asked each photographer to abandon the conventional tools needed to make a photograph––camera, lens, film––and instead make a photograph using words, to capture the image (and its attendant memories) that never made it through the lens. In each essay, the photograph has been stripped down to its barest and most primitive form: the idea behind it. This collection provides a unique and original interpretation of the experience of photographing, and allows the reader access to a world rarely seen: the image-making process itself.
“I longed for this moment to stay preserved, as if it would become more real if I could hold it captive on film. Or that my story would be more intriguing if I could prove what it looked like. The photograph not taken, a portrait of what we had become, the fear that my family had failed me, the confrontation of unconditional love, a portrait of uncertainty. Instead, I sat with my hands tucked against the worn-out wood of the picnic tables, watching and listening to the sounds of what we were able to be for a moment.”
You can order the book here.
I feel like that all the time…
That sweater! Oh man, I want an Indian Motorbike and a sweater like that!

Thomas Prior is great. How did he get to be so great? I wonder if he has any spare greatness.

This is one of the most popular pictures from my Photography blog, but I don’t really understand why…
