>>4030553

>23mm
Nah man, you fucked it up. You should have bought the 35mm lens

>>4030631
I had a nifty fifty equivalent with my older camera that I used for many years and got a bit tired of that focal length, hency why I went for a different one this time around.

>>4030635
Be warned, 23mm focal length sucks. You will not get a single good image.
Just trade it to 18mm lens.

>>4030565

It's hard to position a pendant when you don't have roof access; it's an alright shot, but it doesn't feel like it's drawing you anywhere. If you could have composed this again, I think you might have liked to throw the moon up and left, either along that line for a gaudy, cheap pendant, above the pillar for the same effect, or perhaps bijecting that angle made by the two structures.
Hard to get it to behave and find a good spot in that time, though, so nice attempt.

Yeah, from my vantage point the moon was pretty low. What I was going for was weighting the blood moon with the red lights touching the tops of the church in a sort of implied horizon. Can't win them all. I ran around trying to find some cool stuff, Oh well.

id say for $25 luck out on a s90 or something like that? those kodak bridges had very good zoom and IQ, ccd sensor, nice colors, all that.

>>4030485
I's go up to $50 maybe, somewhere in that area anyway.

Yeah, the colors and overall look on the kodak was just really nice.

spend just a little more and buy a nikon d60

I don't think they test for power zoom in ilc. It's only in cameras with build-in lenses where they test powerzoom. Many ILC mounts don't even have power zoom available.

They usually just test for
Start up power consumption +
30 second idle power consumption +
Exposure power consumption +
Flash interface power consumption +
Shutdown power consumption

It sort of simulates a walk around in the city pretty fairly.

I have had a terrible experience buying cameras, used and new. I'll tell my story if you wanna hear it /p/

I got a starter dlsr. It broke within 2 months. Shutter was busted or something and it was gonna cost $250, not worth fixing. Then after realizing I really liked photography, I upped my budget to like $750 and got an XT2 with a 35mm. Really good condition cosmetically but it had all these dead pixels and the on/off slider was almost seized. Sent it back. Then I thought, I have had enough of used. So I found an Em5mkiii on sale for $940 with the f2.8 kit lens. Brand new, factory sealed. I thought, this thing will do, its a good deal, bought it, done. Guess what? dead pixels or hot pixels or whatever it is they call it. All over the place, worse than the fuji. Back in the mail

So here I am now, 4 months after beginning to look for a camera and back on the compact camera that got me into photography to begin with. Here is a picture I took on my first dslr, before I knew what I was doing. The composition is terrible, it's iso 800 in broad daylight, the horizon isnt level and Im at a ridiculous aperture for some reason. Its all so wrong and it's laughable now but I won't fix it. The picture doesn't mean anything but now that I look at it, I wonder if those little reeds are still there, from all those months ago, growing and withstanding or have they died. I guess I'll go back there next weekend and find out.

thanks! yeah, i still question if it aint a bit too much, but... if it feels cozy, then the vibe is right

>>4028277
It looks cohesive and natural for the most part. It matches the slightly run down Slovene vibe without the "vintage" film look.

Taking your camera out and using it is the only way to get over the feeling, artists in other fields talk about the Dark Night of the Soul and how feeling detached but doing it anyway led to some of their better work and breakthrough moments in developing as an artist. I'm not blowing smoke up your ass because this complement is meaningless, but this would be an enjoyable set to walk around looking at in a gallery or museum exhibit.

>>4028385
thank you! arent all compliments, in the long run, meaningless.. hehe

but yeah, shooting more and hoping for some "good" shots to come out probably helps, at least a bit. but who knows - cause i dont - being a musician on the side i havent written a single "good" song out, well, since the quaranteening. as if all the creative juices just went to fuck know where.

I'll accept your comparison to Araki as a great compliment, even though I didn't discover his work early enough to count him as an influence. But when I did see his body of work, and how voraciously he jumps around, and experiments with different techniques, and how he's still managed to maintain a unifying mind through it, an outlook that comes through no matter how he's presenting it, I was very encouraged about my own work. I had previously always harbored fears that my curiosity and variety were weaknesses. Araki showed me otherwise. And it looks like I'm well on course to have as much trouble with skittish publishers and censors as he had.

AFH:
Such as?

CC:
I've had many projects cause me problems. A magazine that published a retrospective of my work was forced by their distributor to put black censor dots over a few pages that were considered too graphic for distribution. I had two pieces included in the first edition of the high-end art collectible "The Playground", and two different printers refused to print the pieces due to explicitness, so the publishers wound up having to print them all by hand for inclusion. And after all that, Barneys refused to stock it due to the pieces. Luckily, Colette in Paris was less prudish. WWD wrote about the whole controversy, which greatly helped sales. Although on the other hand, I also know that I've lost out on big commercial jobs because of the raw sexuality of a lot of my personal work, so that controversy definitely cuts both ways. I find it amazing, really, how much power and polarization images of the naked human form can inspire. Perhaps that's partly why I'm so obsessed with it.

>>4029588

AFH:
When and why did you begin burying prints?

CC:
I only began abusing, weathering, and burying prints in 2007, after the idea had been kicking around in in me since late 2005. At first it was just a cathartic reaction to what I had seen nature do to my family snapshots and belongings after Hurricane Katrina. So many of my childhood relics, and worse, my family's current belongings, were destroyed by the flooding, the rot, the mold. But in this destruction I kept finding myself fascinated by the grotesque beauty of it. Like a car accident, or the bodies of Pompeii. New Orleans is really a modern American Atlantis, after all. So this was just an attempt for me to bring under my own artistic control what had been an episode of complete chaos and destruction. Finding beauty in the shit. But as I started working with it I found other things about it to love. Like the fact that the resulting mold-ridden prints are very toxic. It's dangerous beauty, a siren call. Look too closely and it could kill you. Is the frame of the glass protecting the print, or the viewer? It appealed to my background in painting as well, as each piece is unique and unrepeatable, and that's something I find lovely. It also turns on its head the art-world emphasis on archival preservation. These images won't stop decaying once I seal them up. All things in life are transient, and more beautiful for it.

AFH:
How much control to you have over the end result?

>>4029589

CC:
It forces me, as a control freak, to surrender. It's very random, and closer to painting or even farming than photography. It's excruciatingly slow. Just as digital technology speeds up photographic creation to being nearly instantaneous, the time it takes for me make each piece in this series is measured in months. After I started working on these I discovered that Stephen Gill had been something very similar, for different reasons and with different aesthetic results, in his "Buried" series, which I think was 2006 so. And Bill Morrison was doing something similar, and stunning, with his film 'Decasia' in 2002, which I discovered only in 2006.

AFH:
How different is your relationship with the uncontrollable aspects in your Fugue State (India ink splatter) series.

CC:
I'm still exploring what they mean to me, but the kernel right now, the cloud that they are forming in my imagination, is that they are both aspects of violence and injury, and my attempt to co-opt that, to contain it in the frame. Whereas the Decay series feels like feminine violence to me, subtle, creeping, slow and fluid, the Fugue State (ink splatter) series is more masculine. Attack, instant lashing out, leaving indelible injury. A moment of fury, leaving a scar as a testament.

Our generation is so fucked that we are anxiously biting our nails about a fucking entry level olympus as if it's such a big purchase and for us, it is. Compare that to what our boomer parents experienced where they saw some flagship film camera in the back of a magazine and bought it on a whim to try out a new hobby. We're so fucked.

I feel like most people who call themselves photographers are truly lost, myself included.

Without a definitive focus we are all just fishing without any purpose or goal.

Although saying that; if you are dedicated enough and never stop taking photos, your unique look will emerge whether you know it or not. Think Vivian Maier.

-I only shoot on film. And don't really upload much of what I shoot.
