A women wearing a bright fishermans sweater and beige toque holds a long oval shell open in front of her face. FIlm soup, 35mm.

SARA PICKS UP SEASHELLS ON THE SEASHORE. I love the way the shapes of the shells mimic the shape of the surf boards. These two photos always felt like they belonged together. Shot on Portra400, soaked in sea water, developed in my kitchen.

Image created by purposefully soaking film in sea water. Resulting in wile colouring and tie dye feeling. Image of shows two surf boards on the beach.

SURF. Surf boards waiting on the beach. Their oblong shapes are repeated throughout the psychedelic colouring caused by intentionally damage to the emulsion with seawater. This first attempt at film soup has been really fun. Portra 400.

Diptych Project #5

A man stands in a large truck filled with fresh produce. He hands a bundle of carrots down to a women who is reaching up from the street. The street is filled with people coming and going. Garbage is piled around the corner and buildings crumble.

OUTSIDE. Fresh produce adjacent to a pile of trash. Streets bustling with people making their way in the morning. Taken from the windows of the room in the next frame. Photographed on Kodak Gold.

An ornate pink room features two large chandeliers and victorian furniture. Light floods the room through to large windows creating an ethereal glow.

INSIDE. Throughout all of Cuba you feel its past, it’s history. Some in disrepair, some carefully preserved. Most a blend of whatever is available. Photographed on Kodak Gold.

Diptych Project #3

A giant waterfall rushes over a u-shaped ledge. The cliffs sorrounding it are covered in green and bird soars directly overhead. The image was created to using a toy camera and the imperfections bring a dreamy and ethereal quality to the image.

MOTHER [earth]. The shape of the cliffs in this photo have always reminded me of the shape of an eye. Her tears rushing down with tremendous force. Heavy and healing, the beginning of a new cycle. Photographed on a Holga.

MOTHER [sink or swim]. Frigid and turbulent waters. Power, presenting as peace. Black and light. Duality.
