Why, yes, I DO have a new lens. I got a LensBaby Sweet 50 – it was part of my medium-term plan to keep busy while my foot gets well enough to walk on. That’s 25 more days, for those of you keeping track, so I needed to think of a project that I could do inside my house. And like skillful photographers everywhere, I used that little project as a justification for a new lens. I mean, I only had to convince myself and I’m notoriously easy to sway, but still you never know.

home, reduced
This old farmhouse had been reduced. Not in the real estate way of a price reduction for a quick sale, but more in the “push all a’ that house up in a pile and Herschel or one a’ them’s gonna come by an’ burn it. Once that dad-blame wind stops.”

fever dream, 1
Way back in time, during the COVID era, a photography studio in a neighboring town went out of business. They sold the props, the backdrops, the shelves. And boxes and boxes of negatives.
I bought some of the negatives with the idea that I’d do something with them someday.
Someday turns out to be: right now.
My imagination runs wild when I start manipulating these negatives, and I hope you’ll let yours do the same.

(un)intentional camera movement
This was the day I wore a purple ballcap. It was also the day I was fiddling with my camera because I was getting bored with being a passenger. And ( ! ) it was the VERY SAME DAY that I accidently took this photo, which I don’t even hate.

silence carries
The back side of a disused grain elevator, with a long lens. The distance and the wind combined to make the sounds of all the pigeons impossible to hear, which is an uncommon auditory experience around these old places.
