Assignment: Oldest School
Assigner: Blake Sinclair
Description: When people find out I’m a photographer, they ask how I got in to it. And why I got in to it. Somewhere in the conversation, I think about the very first photograph I ever took. It might not be the EXACT photo, but it’s the one that comes to mind as the first. This month, recreate that photo. Or use it as inspiration. Bonus points if you can provide the actual photograph.

I started shooting some still life lately, and figured this could be the cover of Wired. Possibly a story about fast food.

For the cross-processing assignment I went for the bleach-bypass look. In the past I experimented with this technique using film and chemicals, so I tweaked a digital image to match those washed out midtones and golden highlight details.
I started photographing my wife Jennifer every day with a single sheet of 4×5 film. The project will last for the entirety of her 3rd trimester, and I used one of the days to complete my “self portrait” assignment.
I used Chris Dibbles quiet, solid portraits as inspiration for the composition and mood.
I hope this isn’t illegal, but I made some animated gif’s for this assignment. Long story short, I got a little video camera. I still don’t understand how to use video editing programs, but I do know Photoshop. So I put these little guys together. I definitely plan on doing more soon.
*pardon the large file sizes and the small visual size. I didn’t want them to be too huge, so I scaled them down.
I photographed We Were Promised Jet Packs for Death + Taxes Magazine. Here’s a tear sheet, and some out-takes I liked.
I photographed Sean and his son Max. Sean is an animator and musician, so I photographed him playing music with Max. Thanks Sean!
