Blast from the Past

Night shot of me in Tempe, AZ - 1992

Location: Tempe, AZ – University Ave.

This is a self portrait I did back around 1992. I shot it around 3:00am. It was shot on black and white 35mm film and printed full-frame. I just scanned the print in today.

At the time I was taking a photography class at Mesa Community Collage. It was independant-study, which just meant that you could shoot whatever you want. The class would get together every week or two and have critiques. I really enjoyed taking those classes.

As a secret back-story, I used to take that mug (that’s under my hand) to critiques. It was filled with orange juice and taquilla. I always thought critiques were a little more lively with a good buzz on.
