Higher Education: 'Go Steelers'

20web.jpg
I decided to occasionally post one or the other of my own photos again. Don't worry, it won't be all that often - since you don't come here for my stuff. In any case, this is a new one from my "Higher Education" series.

Things I learned before/while making my own Muniz

A_la_Muniz_web.jpg
1. Buying 500 paper clips does result in weird looks/comments when trying to pay for them. 2. 500 paper clips also is quite the overestimate as far as needed quantities are concered (see 3.). 3. Doing the art work letter-size is way too small (see above) 4. Listening to a rousing Shostakovich symphony while placing needles on top of other needles is not necessarily the best idea (even if it's a lame and overrated interpretation; it's good I avoided the probably best version). 5. Using a work surface that is too low results in severe back pain. 6. Being very casual about taking the photos is very stupid. 7. Dismantling the piece at the end is quite satisfying. 8. Significant fun can be had with a collection of paper clips, needles, and thumb tags. (actual photo link posting will of course continue tomorrow...)

Thrift Store

I can't hope to seriously compete with Brian Ulrich's wonderful thrift store work, but I just could not walk past this scene, spotted at a local store.

Higher Education

JMC_HE61.jpg
Part of the reason why moving hosting took a bit longer was that I also wanted to have my own photography updated. I have been working on a couple of new series, and since one is now at a stage where I feel comfortable showing it, my last excuse for not finalizing the hosting switch evaporated. So apart from the new look of the blog (one of the templates that came with MT actually; so for those who emailed me or commented on how good it looks: Thank you for completely overestimating my abilities to make things look good online) there now is Higher Education online - I re-shot the first version of this series (now using film!). Seeing the 20x20 (inches) prints of the photos made me realize that I've come a long way from when I started with photography. In any case, the statement for the series is still missing, as is the general "about/bio" stuff - I'll add that after my move to Northampton, Massachusetts next week (I can't tell you how thrilled I am to be able to get out of Pittsburgh!).

Higher Education Redux

HEnew3sm.jpg
While I had decided earlier that I was done with Higher Education, after having started at the new job I found too much to just walk past, so I gave myself another roll of film to shoot. When I got my camera set up for this photo, one of the Chinese graduate students walked by. He stopped, looked at me and then at what I wanted to take a photo of, to finally ask me what it was. This it was, and it came out exactly the way I had seen it.
