Nicky, down to her last dollar! Literally as she prepares for her solo exhibit installation WEAR RECYCLE. Squeezing every penny out of every dollar, seems to be what we’re all doing these days.

Surf-inspired shoot for Brette Sandler Swimwear…

Title: Squeeze

Assigner: Dan Busta

Description: Illustrate “squeeze”. Interpret how you like.

I went to Mt. Zion for a hiking trip a couple weeks ago. The trip came just in time for the “Sports” assignment! Since one of my big passions is hiking (and I didn’t use hiking as my “Passion” assignment), I thought it would be a great subject for this assignment. These photos are shot with my Holga. You can see more photos from this trip on my photoblog.

Surf’s up! These images were shot in Far Rockaway, New York
I’ll be posting more from this story on my website soon.

A sport I can’t wait to get back into once my shoulder heals.

For this assignment I decided to shoot some 4X5 film. Its not my typical style to shoot 4X5 and natural light but I think this strait photography compliments my choice in subject well. These archers I found are using composite bow which is one of the older and more challenging types of archery. Anything to produced wouldn’t tell the story the same, I even found the sun to feel too hard and abrasive.

I actually shot this assignment twice. The first attempt didn’t quite make it for me and I new I could get better, more emoting shots, even with the bulky 4X5. Going back to the range I brought two of the pictures from the first shoot. Everyone there was really excited to see them physically. By bringing the prints the Archers where excited to get photographed and motivated to contribute in the shoot. I made a decent group shot and then asked if any one wanted singles. This man agreed (his name escapes me, but I’ll get it) and we spent some minuets getting this amazing portrait right after the sun ducked beyond the valley wall. Photographed on fuji velvia RVP rated at 25, I decided to opt into the 15th of a sec instead of paying the crazy 4 dollar push fee.

heres one from the first shoot.

Above are a few of my photos from the LA Galaxy’s playoff victory over Chivas USA last season. The Galaxy eventually lost to Seattle in the MLS Finals in perhaps Beckham’s final game with the team. Full gallery here on laweekly.com
