Pretty soon they'll be gone too.

So last week a house fell into the ocean on Plum Island, I was unable to photograph the wreckage, but I did find these three houses who lost their yards, their decks, and will soon fall into the ocean themselves. It's really shitty but this is happening to the entire island..


I have some other shots, the retouching is hugely time consuming as the lab royally fucked up my negs. I will get them up as soon as I can but this last week of school is going to keep me pretty busy. I will try to shoot plumb island more as I don't know what lies in the future for this place.

f.64, Direct Sunlight, a 150mm lens.

So through the past week(s) I've continued to check out the area I like to call roads to nowhere. I shot a bunch of film out there, somewhat arbitrarily from my main project, or maybe it isn't. I've just been trying to give myself a lot more freedom with what I shot so the images don't become overly formulaic. (and although much of my work of late has been successful, I feel at times it has become just that)

I'm really happy with the top 3 images, the bottom two feel a little too pretty the more I look at them, to be honest they're all kindof pretty but again, the bottom two are just a little too much.

So here comes a bunch of new stuff that I may or may not edit into my book!






Further Note, I shot most of this work at f.64 and really really overexposed to increase my shadow detail. Shooting directly at the sun became a little wonky but I am tempted to really like how this stuff looks. Also special thanks to Abe for letting me borrow his 150, it's nice to have choices of lens length when I'm shooting this stuff.

Not much time left in the semester, The book is really close to being edited (and needs to be finalized by the end of this week to be honest). next post will prolly be in 2 weeks. Happy Thanksgiving.
