Back home again!

Sun Sep 13, 2009, 8:22 AM
I'm back home again. The last two months have been adventures in New York and then Hawaii--both film-related adventures, to boot. It's been a great experience and I'm itching for the next one.

Hawaii was amazing, one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. I shot six or seven rolls there. Already dropped them off to be developed. Hopefully I'll have some pictures from that up soon. The film I was working on ([link]) has wrapped, and I took a mixture of production photos and landscapes of the island. I was working as a production assistant/camera assistant on the film, so I got to work closely with the cinematographer, Anne Misawa ([link]) and the camera operators, Vince, Greg, and Tommy. We shot on the Red camera, which is quite an amazing piece of hardware (that I might just have to get myself someday).

Anyway, I also have some new negatives to scan, but the lab has gotten lazy and not given me plastic sleeves to protect them so they're all dusty. I gotta run out and get some compressed air before I scan them. There's only so much clone brush I'm willing to do in photoshop.

I often feel a little odd taking credit for a photograph. So much went into creating the image that has very little to do with me. Most of the time, I have no real control of the light--only tricks to make it look "good". The subject is what it is. And I'm using a piece of equipment that dozens, if not hundreds of people spent a long time designing and crafting, and that I would have no hope of reconstructing myself. Even the inspiration to photograph something, what could most easily be called "my" contribution to the image, comes out of a thought process beyond the rational or creative. It seems to pop out of thin air. So I'll be content to hope that a little bit of how I feel about my subjects makes it into the final image. The rest, I'd say, is beyond my credit.
