Two-faced liar. She blows away in the slightest of breezes.

Which tooth is troubling you?

Black and White UV

Just bespeckled with life lessons, wisdom, and street cred.

Mixed Light (UV and Fire)

Reminiscent of all the times when: 

"Hey guys, guess wha- oh I have to sneeze...oh wait, I lost it. Damn it, I really wanted to sneeze!"

(and doesn't remember what she was about to tell everyone)

Kind of like the man who fixes photobooths. Possibly a killer, maybe a time traveler. 

But more likely, just some guy.

Finally! We have UV portraiture officially beginning!

Here is Mr. Andrew Rahman in infrared (as many of you may remember from the 100 Faces display or the Book: http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/1773564)

First UV Portrait

Turns out I used the wrong kind of light at the time, but I've got it figured out and more stuff is to come (with the kind of light that lets us see a bit further than skin deep. Bear with me!)

And we're back!

Continuing the infrared series while I get things rolling with utraviolet. Enjoy some more faces!

Not tryin' to start a riot, or incite it...

Today was a day for protesting! Here are some photographs (yes I know... I'll get around to processing and posting more infrared stuff soon):

p.s. - bonus points for anyone who get's the title reference (without googling it)

And while you wait!

Check out this short stop-motion that I made!

Getting Rolling Again!

I have begun the process of exploring digital ultraviolet photography! This will be my next project!

For those of you who've been following me here, I greatly appreciate all of your support, and I hope you all get a chance to see the work on display at the OSU Urban Arts Space (50 W. Town St. Suit 130, Columbus OH,  43215 - it's in the Lazarus building of the City Center). The project will be on display as part of the Third Eye exhibit through March, so go check it out in person!

And as far as anyone who is interested (and I am not sure why I didn't think to offer this sooner), I am making available individual prints of the faces for sale. If there is any single expression / person in the project that moves you in some way and you'd like to get an 8x10 of just that one let me know and we can work out a sale!

Expect more images soon (and perhaps a link to my UV exploration and concept blog!)
