Toy Camera Analog Archives
My photography colleague, Scott Meivogel, at Aperture photo shop has a mantra: “Analog is a lifestyle.” Scott sells the coolest array of old Polaroids, vintage cameras, and film stock, and he’s been inspiring me to experiment more with film — something I have always loved.
In fact, speaking with Scott recently inspired me to pull out some of my old favorite analog shots from years past: I’ve shot tons of analog photos of kids and weddings on assignment, travel shots of Paris, Rome, and New York, and more.
Inspiring iPhoneography
Modern technology is fascinating in its speed of evolution, out-dating itself faster than ever before. Even as I upgrade my professional photographic equipment, noticing how much faster and better-quality-producing cameras have become, I find myself enamored with how something as small as an iPhone can produce creative results.
All of the images in this blog post were created on my iPhone, using a variety of vintage-inspired photo apps, like Instagram and Hipstamatic. What I love about iPhoneography is the ability to record inspiring visuals as they appear, while going about my day, while traveling, or when taking a break from my desk to create still lifes in the living room. The ease of creating unexpected results gives my inner artist the thrill of play, while inspiring new work, at the same time.
Pennsylvania – Picnic Park
Driving back to New York from the mid-west, I stopped at this little rest stop in Pennsylvania, near the New Jersey border. It was too early in the morning and too foggy for picnickers, but the picnic tables themselves seem to become creatures with personalities in the morning mist.
Turtle Beach
Driving from NYC to the mid-west for several shoots this June, I saw a sign for a little place called, “Turtle Beach, ” near the Delaware water gap in Pennsylvania. It was a beautiful sunny morning, and I just had to stop and see this place. As I exited the highway, I had to enter a one lane road that was completely wooded on both sides. It had rained a lot the night before, so everything was extremely fresh-looking and vibrant green. The entire forest floor was covered in ferns, and a few deer came investigating down the hill as I drove by.
