New Work: Creative Close-ups of Prospect Flowers
Spent some time just shooting for myself this summer. Spent two rolls of film just shooting flowers and other things around the yard between my house and my neighbors'! Finally got around to editing some of it and here's the result. The film was cross-processed, E-6 to C-41. I've been enjoying experimenting with cross-processing film this year, and have definitely been happy as well as disappointed with some results. For those of you who don't know, cross-processing is developing a roll of color film in the opposite film chemistry it's intended for, i.e. developing slide film (E-6) in color negative chemistry (C-41). It can result in a lot of cool color shifts and contrasty images but is highly unpredictable. Either way, here's some of the images I ended up with, enjoy!

Warm Getaways
I had been eagerly awaiting this winter season. Here in New England, the winter months can be rather frigid, but for those of us who don’t mind the exhaustive work of climbing into 6 mil wetsuits or ice-cream-headache cold waters, it’s the eagerly anticipated winter months that bring the biggest swells. We had snow before the New Year and water temps quickly started approaching 40°F. But in typical fashion, as soon as the long awaited winter months arrived, I was craving a break from the cold gray in favor of a warm water reprieve.
Board Portraits // Experiments
I've been wanting to shoot more portraits lately, but in combination with the surf community that I've been so involved with the past year. My good friend, Kevin Tanner, behind Soudnings Surf Co creates some gorgeous handcrafted boards. He does all his own shaping, resin work, and glassing, and I wanted to photograph some beautiful boards to highlight his craftsmanship as well as portraits of my friends who ride them. I decided to do board portraits.
Snowy Surf Sessions
A lot of us enjoy the warm weather, but a select few of us still enjoy (or perhaps tolerate) the cold weather. And nothing quite says winter like a fresh snowfall! On the rare occasion Rhode Island experiences more than one inch of snow while there's swell in the water, you can find a select few of dedicated riders on the shore eager to have a snow session.
