The best yet

I know most here probably don't care about the shooting I'm doing at the Columbia Daily Tribune, but it's cool to me, so I'm going to keep posting.

Today I had what was probably my best day of sports shooting yet. Here's the slideshow I made from it: http://www.columbiatribune.com/multimedia/photo/baseball-missouri-florida/collection_be2ac7e0-aadf-11e2-ae2d-001a4bcf6878.html


Inspiration: Sublime, beautiful tree portraits by Myoung Ho Lee

An image from "Your Place and Mine"


A photo from my last senior project was accepted into an online juried exhibition @ PhotoPlace Gallery. Caleb Cole chose 40 images for the gallery in Vermont and 35 for the online gallery. Soon they will publish a book through Blurb of all the selected images. Check out their website to see all the sweet self portraits people are making.

kayla goes high key








Eyooo...
Here's some images for my advanced color final. The image quality was not what I initially expected, but to my benefit, the shit quality is want I'm looking for. These were shot with extremely expired slide film which I cross-processed...only to find the whole box is fogged. Yikes. When I pulled the rolls out of the tank they looked as if they hadn't been fixed at all...so I cried, thinking I was screwed. But then I scanned these dense/bullet proof negatives to find magic. 
The images all have slight color casts. Generally a mint flavor or bubblegum sensation. Can't decide if I should keep the casts or nix'em. Project shall be in book form...I may be feelin' the casts. 
The project deals with the recollection of our memories. Exploring what's left behind, if there's anything left at all. What's fading. What's vague. What we desperately desire to hold onto. 
Thoughts are greatly welcome!

photographs from a delightful spring day

 



 



A couple weeks ago, on one of our 60 degree days, the Advanced Color class took a field trip to the Gallagator Trail. Here's what I got! Shot with the Mamiya RB67 on some super expired Kodak E6 slide film. Cross-processed with C-41 chemistry. Lovely.
The dog's name is Lola. 
She's cute. 

Love,
K-la

Also, I plan on posting more work to my blog as things progress, you can check out more work at: http://hmckenney.tumblr.com/.

Samhain

 These are the first images created for a series I am working on for my graduate school application.  THEY ARE STILL UNEDITED. They are shot with arista 4x5 and then the negatives are mordancaged and VERY meticulously manipulated.  The series is loosely based on me recently moving to a large city (san francisco) and having difficulties dealing with the loss of my ability to relate to the environmental surroundings.  Samhain (Sow-Win) is a Pagan celebration of the moment whenever the veils between this world and the next are at their thinnest.  This moment symbolizes the instance in which everything dies so that it may be reborn again and it acts as a metaphor for the re-definition of my environs.  I am excited for the development of this project and welcome any criticism and/or feedback.  Please tell me what you guys think.

Well, the snow won't leave me alone in Missouri. Thought I was escaping it when I came here....

Here's my photos for the Columbia Daily Tribune I took this morning.

George Georgiou's modern Turkey project on FeatureShoot

George and his wife Vanessa Winship came and talked a few years ago in the VCB, and he showed us this project, then a new body of work. It just showed up on Feature Shoot this past month. Pretty neat stuff. He shoots with a cheap point-and-shoot camera, which I was a little conflicted about when he came to lecture, but re-investigating his images, it obviously doesn't matter what the hell camera you use. I believe this work was showcased at MoMA in 2010. Cool stuff.

Here's the link to the FeatureShoot article
