Defaced Tree Trunk



This tree truck had a shape of the female body and you can sort to see at the bottom the trunk has two slits in it, not sure if it was natural or man-made, but it looked like a vagina to me. I saw a literal context of the term mother nature. I had questions about the defacing. Was this tree defacing random or did somebody else see the femininity of this tree and was offended by it?

Looking Over a Torn Wall



This was an experiment that I’m still trying out. I shot this image with my holga but I made a special mask for it only exposing half the film plane and then rewinding the film and exposing the other half. The wall in this image is really a picture of the floor but when I see it I feel like I’m peaking over a wall, looks sneaky.

Pop 9 Creative Fun



These images were shot with the Pop 9 toy camera. The Pop 9 has nine mini plastic lenses on it and takes the same image nine times. I found that words and public signs work well visually with the Pop 9 but I wanted to break up some of the repetition by inserting slots of other Pop 9 images I have taken.

Ricky With Light Leaks




I finally got an image with the creative use of a light leak, I couldn't be more thrilled. This image was shot with my holga (film) for my American Asylum project.

Second Hand Rose



The mannequins are from a thrift store in San Pedro. I found it fascinating and odd that even in a time of a down economy that sex is still needed to sell products like used clothing, digital holga capture

This image was taken with a Holga lens on a Canon Digital Rebel. I’m currently interested in the plastic lens and toy cameras. Drag queens translate well with a low-fi lens because they are so colorful in appearance and in spirit.
