A project featuring a slaughterhouse that has a collection to the extent of what you might expect: action-packed, gruesome, but not to the point of being distasteful..
I guess the moral of the story is that taking on a project that may push your comfort zone can ultimately result in success and a potential ongoing project.
Or in this case: …MORE BLOOD!!

At first glance, I thought this was just a lot of darkroom manipulation…
Could serve as inspiration for some experimental prints!!

I was listening to the Breeders on the tube when this video came up. The pictures are really interesting and there’s several Holga shots. Plus the song is awesome
Here’s a link to a random blog I look at a lot. It has a ton of images from photography to design work to painting. It”s definitely worth checking out. Here are a couple things I saw recently

John Scurlock lives in Bellingham and takes aerial photos of the North Cascades in winter. He has a huge gallery.
If you look closely, there's a cabin buried in there.Mt. Shuksan
This is an interesting movie from my Anthropology class

This feature-length documentary traces the journey of the Haisla people to reclaim the G’psgolox totem pole that went missing from their British Columbia village in 1929. The fate of the 19th century traditional mortuary pole remained unknown for over 60 years until it was discovered in a Stockholm museum where it is considered state property by the Swedish government. Director Gil Cardinal combines interviews, striking imagery and rare footage of master carvers to raise questions about ownership and the meaning of Aboriginal objects held in museums.

The Artist is Erik Johansson. Public speaking may not be his thing but he’s art is pretty cool. He has interesting ideas about where photography is headed and new ways of being innovative!
The New York Times posted a new article about Cindy Sherman in light of her show, opening February 26th, at the Museum of Modern Art. It’s a very interesting look into her life and work.
I started searching for Holga photography today and I found this guy. I like his images and his description about what it’s like to use a Holga.
