I'm working on a new portfolio piece in a course I'm taking at NSCAD. It's in colour and black and white. Mostly black and white because it's cheaper. lol
And quicker...
Anyways, it's an industrial piece. Focusing on Tonka trucks and Caterpillar construction machines; stuff that people consider to not be very aesthetically pleasing, or pleasing at all, and finding some beautiful parts of them. It's a whole lot of fun to photograph. In fact, I think I've found one of the areas what I truly love in photography. This industrial twist has been inspired by the works of Edward Burtynski. A Canadian photographer who made the movie and book called "Manufactured Landscapes." Amazing stuff.
I'll be working on an artist statement to go with my portfolio, and I'm working a little harder to get all of my work into digital form so it can come onto dA and you'll see the artist statement to go with it here in this journal!
I've been shooting this piece with my new/old Mamiya C330 which has been a DREAM to work with. I'm really loving this photography business.
Stay tuned.

Everyone hides who they are at least some of the time. Sometimes you bury that part of yourself so deeply that you have to be reminded that it's there at all, and sometimes you just want to forget who you are altogether
