Highly Subjective

Location: Tempe, AZ

I was going through some boxes tonight, looking for something I misplaced, and I came across this portrait I did back in the mid-nineties.

Unfortunately, all I have from this shoot is a contact sheet, so the quality of the scan isn't great. I don't have the original film or prints because on this day I was playing the role of Subject, and this man, we'll call him, Sebastian, was the photographer. During a break I picked up his camera and took a few shots of him. He later sent me a contact sheet to show me how the day went.

If I get in the mood to scan some more, maybe I'll post a few that he took of me.

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.

I saw this bike while wandering around ASU during my last trip to Arizona. I'm not sure which shot I like best.
