Antelope Island: Strange Film Processing

I went to Antelope Island yesterday with Rachel, and the two Michaels. I have incredible luck with lighting lately whenever I go out and shoot, so it was more beautiful there than I have ever seen it before. I shot a roll of transparency film (E-6 process), but I didn't want to go downtown to process it, so I convinced the Walgreen's one-hour-photo dude to cross process it as negatives (C-41 Process), and I got some very strange results. I've never seen any cross processing turn out quite like this. It almost looks like color Infrared film. It was Fuji Astia 100 film, but it was also probably expired. I have had it in my film bag which has traveled with me in all sorts of extreme conditions for several years.

And here, for those of you who like things traditional, is some plain, old digital shots.

Documentary Photography: Hunter High School Football

In 2003 the Hunter High School football team won the State championship, and I was there, at all of the home games, armed with 2 cameras and a lot of black and white film, to document the things that happened on the way there. My purpose in beginning the project was to fulfill the requirements of a college Documentary Photography class in which I was required to photograph a single subject for the entire semester. The minimum requirement was 4 rolls of film shot throughout the semester. I ended up doing much, much more as I was drawn into the madness of the scene. Now I present this small selection, culled from hundreds upon hundreds of images, for the first time in shiny digital format, for your viewing pleasure. I consider it some of the best work I have done, and I hope it shows a glimpse of the wild, crazy energy of being there at that moment in time.
