Embracing the moving picture
As much as I'd like to ignore it, life and media are more than just stills now, so I plan to (somewhat, at least) embrace the moving picture. Movie film costs a fortune and it's difficult to develop at home. But my crammed full of gadgets Canon 7d shoots video, with sound and everything! Photoshop CS5 has a nice video editing feature
At Plastic farms...
"Don't worry, she will start." |
As a joke, I set out this past spring to photograph Easter candy, composed in realistic scenes with farm toys as if the candy might be growing on the model farms. What started as a class assignment quickly took on a life of it's own as I started gathering more models, bringing in more equipment, (Most of the final images were shot on Ilford HP5+ 4X5 film and developing even more elaborate story lines to set up the images. All on top of the increasingly elaborate sets I constructed for the shots.
Eventually the project developed into a documentary series on Farmer Milton, his son "Billy" their chocolate lab, "Hershey" and her somewhat less than obedient puppy "Chip", and their "Life" on plastic farm. The project helped me accomplish something I had been working towards for my entire time at Owens College, two of the images were accepted into the Student show for Spring 2013, one even earned an honorable mention.
It's my intention to pick the series back up and continue on, eventually it will be gathered into a book. There are still stories left to be told at Plastic farm and more characters to be met.
