Constructive Criticism

May 2011
It's been almost a year since I graduated from New England School of Photography and I'm going crazy without my weekly critiques! Most of the time I'm so deeply wrapped up in the going-ons inside my head that I loose sight of my end goal, going down these weird artistic rabbit holes that ultimately lead no where. Class critiques always got me back on the right path.
So now that I've graduated what am I to do? Well that's where you come in, dear reader. What do you think about the above work in progress? I just can't decide how I feel about it. For one, the pose is a bit reminiscent of "I'm a little teapot, short and stout". Also this paper was one of the most difficult things I've ever printed on, so it's hard to be objective. Help!

Back in the Saddle Again
Archival digital prints on handmade paper
May 2011
I had taken a break from the handmade paper stuff for a few months. I was having printer troubles, health problems, traveling a lot and overall just didn't have the attention to detail that the process demands. But luckily things are different now, and I can get back to work. Above are two of my favorite creations from yesterday.
Lots more to come...
I Got Stripes

Printer trouble be damned. I took it apart and managed to get everything working again (although I'm like 87% sure I just voided the warranty. Oops). I dream of the day when I can go all Office Space on the damned thing.
You Know You're Effed When...
Your printer spits out this gem of a nozzle check after 3 head cleanings. Uh oh...
Birch Bark
printed on birch bark using digital wet transferI had the idea to print on birch bark about a month ago. Growing up in northern New Hampshire, my family didn't have a television (at least not one that got any channels) so I spent most of my time outside, alone in the woods. One of my favorite spots was just beyond our yard, past the raspberry bushes that marked the beginning of the forest. There I found the most amazing birch tree. Rusty 19th century farm equipment was scattered at the base, so long forgotten that it had become part of the tree itself. I loved finding these little pieces of my home's previous inhabitants, and decided that I too needed to leave something behind for future generations. I placed my one of my favorite toys (if memory serves it was a troll doll - don't judge. I was 7) at the giant tree's roots, carving my initials just above it. The tree (and presumably my awesome troll doll) have since been destroyed by a housing development, but I never forgot about it. I'm not a big self portrait person, but when I decided to print on bark I knew that the image had to be of myself.
