This was shot on location at King College in Bristol, TN/VA as part of a demonstration and lecture. Huge thanks to the Photo Club and Theater Department for all their help.

Mateo Quintana is the only barber in the small community of Marfa, Texas. Born and raised in this town, he’s been running this same shop for over 30 years. He got that chair from his father, who was a barber in Marfa before him. I followed along to shoot photos as Matt Nuzzaco, a fellow Phoot Camper, received a hair cut and beard trim during our weekend visit. Follow the Phoot Camp blog to see everyone’s work.

Los Angeles Pillow Fight 2011

Serene Lakes, CA

I’m proud to have my work exhibited amongst 29 other talented female photographers in Photoboite’s 2011 30 Under 30 Women Photographers. Please spend some time enjoying the other great portfolios that were selected as well.

Shot with the 360 Spinner Lomography camera at Phoot Camp 2010.

The first image was shot on expired Fujichrome Velvia slide film, and processed using C-41 chemicals. It was the last frame on my roll, so I put in some Kodak Portra negative film and shot the second picture. Cross Processing is pretty unpredictable, but it was fun comparing the differences.

I was inspired by J. Wesley Brown’s night portraits. All of his images have a very surreal stillness to them, and I’m fascinated by the way his eye searches out light in the dark.
