Here are photos from our trip up to Hayward, Wisconsin in the Fall.

Travel photos pt.1

I'm getting caught up with scanning and editing film from last year. I took this film to get processed in the fall and then had a baby and totally forgot about it-oops! Luckily it was still there when I went to pick it up. Here are some photos from our trip to California!

These are from the Calavaras Big Trees state park we went to. I wish I could import the smell of the air there to Chicago!

Here are a couple from Chinatown in San Francisco where we had one of our "babymoons"

Gregory Crewdson Brief Encounters

Looking forward to seeing this documentary on the photographer Gregory Crewdson. I remember the first time I saw his photos in the 90's and was totally blown away by the cinematic quality. It will be interesting to see behind the scenes and learn more about his process.

Berndnaut Smilde indoor clouds

These photographs by Berndnaut Smilde are just stunning! At first I assumed they were Photoshopped in but he actually created the vapor clouds inside and caught them on film. Awesome!

Close up

I got a macro lens for my camera that I'm super excited to play around with. I know plants and eyes aren't very interesting but it was crummy weather when I shot these so I had to stay inside! I love cameras being able to show things that the naked eye can't see.

Art Fair/New Work

It's that time of year again, Marwen's annual Art Fair is on November 11th. This year I am submitting three photos including these two that I took this summer in the Badlands. They are a bit of a departure for me but there was something I found really interesting about watching people be tourists. More to come!

I'm back!

Our honeymoon went off without a hitch but it feels so fantastic being back at home!
Now I get to sort through our many photos and videos of our trip which I'm sure will be a great source of inspiration to me. For now, here are some photos I took on my Fuji Instax camera.

Lori Nix

These seem like pretty amazing interior spaces but they are actually dioramas built by the artist, ranging from 20x20 inches to 6 feet in diameter. She photographs them with an 8x10 large format camera which is why you can see every teeny, tiny detail. Amazing!
