Another version of the incorporating text with image project.
This was the text I originally thought of using. I'm not sure which I like more but one thing i know is that I wish I had better handwriting.

A bed found in an abandoned house near where I live.
Shot for a project where I needed to ncorporate text with the image.
When I developed it I wanted it to come off as cold and creepy.
I'm not sure why I used the text I did... I think my first thought was something like, "If you pull the covers up the monsters go away." I'm not sure why I didn't, whatever.

Shot with a HOLGA.
Multiple exposures (obviously)
My favorite portion of the image is the small section in the upper left with the two small children.
It was a relatively miserable day, raining and cold, very very cold. Oh, and ridiculously windy.

Stone Structure


Stone Structure
Originally uploaded by srtists13
Scanned print from enlarger.

Print Details:
Outside non overlapping portions:
F/22
11 Sec.

Overlapping portions:
Burned for 200 sec.

Four separate shots of a old stone structure that can be found somewhere along the Delaware River in Manayunk.

This took forever to print because the outside portions were so sensitive to light that they couldn't be exposed to any light beyond 11 seconds at f/32. However overlapping portions had to be burned in at a more open aperture. I was standing in the darkroom listening to my ipod for 3 min. 20 sec. (200 seconds). It was so difficult to keep track of which portions i burned in and for how long.
