Front Porch Religion (05000004)
This is from my 500th (more or less) roll since coming back to photography a couple of years ago. A silly milestone, yes, but one that I'm proud of. I gave up photography for a number of years that were fairly dark for a variety of reasons, so I'm grateful to have it back and for all the encouragement and useful criticism folks here given me. Thanks!

Imperfect Family Photo
When I saw this come off the scanner, I thought of the Martin Parr interview that Guy linked to earlier.
I'll be out of town and away from the web for a few days, but I'll catch up on comments when I get back.

Spring (04660029)
My SOFOBOMO project has led me to explore something like a toy camera aesthetic. I have doubts about it, but it does seem to work for some photos.

Building B4 (04290006)
On the campus maps, this building doesn't have any name besides B4. It's right across the green from my office, but I've no idea what goes on there.

Untitled (04230001)
Guy's comment about eyes in this post got me thinking about expression, and about the limited range of emotion we often see in portraits. This is not a photo that I'd give to Kate's mother, but to me the eyes say something that you don't necessarily see when the rest of the face is more expressive. I'm curious if it only works for me because I know the subject so well.

Just a quick note before I head off to work. I've modified the template, as you can see. I think this should better accommodate wide images, up to 800 px wide. I've still got some other changes to make, but this is a start. Let me know what you think.

This is a little wider pixels dimensions than we normally post, but given the aspect ratio of this photo, it seemed warranted. It doesn't seem to mess with the formatting of the blog, but if it causes problems for anyone, let me know and I'll repost a downsized version.

I wish I gone a touch wider with this photo, but when I took it I wasn't thinking about how much like an eye this thing looks.

Kate (03190001)
I feel as if I'm repeating myself lately, but portraits of Kate make up a significant proportion of my art. It's what I go back to when the well is dry. After seeing A Woman of Many Faces on exhibition in Tokyo, I realized that you can never have too many pictures of one person.

Bubsung Gets in Frame (02890027)
This is one of the last images I took in the class room before leaving Korea. It's also one of the images I'm putting into a portfolio that I'm trying to work up for submission to various places. I feel like it's a pretty strong image, but I've gotten mixed reviews on it. If you'd like to see the rest of the portfolio, I've got it up on Flickr here: Six Months at SLP.
