Last Day at LMCC

I have finally come to terms with the realization that my Workspace residency at LMCC is now over. I have completely packed and moved out and its finally hitting me that I won't be back in my beautiful studio on Monday. It was so good while it lasted. These past nine months have been so fruitful and I feel so blessed to have been a part of the program. Many thanks to LMCC's Melissa Levin and Sean Carroll for all of their hard work and dedication and to my fellow residents for inspiring me with their work and gracing me with their time and friendship which I treasure. Above is the last still life I shot in my studio.

Back to Work

Back in the studio today. Only shot one picture. Will see if its any good tomorrow. Worked on some applications but couldn't stand the smell of some rotting fruit I was using so I had to get out of there. If the negs look good i will throw out the aesthetically beautiful yet offensive smelling fruit asap. The picture above is from a shoot i did earlier in the week. Glad i shared my grapefruit and got someone else to peel it. Working on pushing the compositions in the still lifes.

Still Life Saga Continues

Worked in the studio yesterday for over 6 hours. Setting up, not liking anything, starting all over and over and over. I did manage to get some images that i like though so it makes it all worth it. Here is a new still life from yesterday's shoot.

First Things First

Here's a quick scan of my first still life shot in my new studio. I can't wait to make a print of this in the darkroom. This residency is a dream come true. My studio is beautiful and I'm surrounded by so many talented and inspiring artists. Thank you LMCC!
