Five Fotos: Week Uno

I want to integrate my photography a lot more with my writing, starting with a five foto's of the week (that will likely happen once a month). The point is to showcase my favorite shots of the week, no matter what comes out. Anyway, here's the start.

To A New Place
to a new place
Canon AE-1 35mm Kodak Plus-x Pan Film - Arizona

• Onward, to adventure and self-discovery.
• Self-developed, under-developed and turned all the film red.

Unloading Bay

• Trash dumped behind abandoned Wal-Mart. Returning shit to whence it came.

Crushed
crushed
Kodak Disposable Camera, 35mm film - Flagstaff


• Bored ice cream parlor with lazily stocked shelves, products designed to catch the eye, begging to be picked up. Muting the colors and downplaying that gimmick, as if the slogan is now "Empty Feelings Inside!®"

Borrowed Gift

Pentax K-1000 35mm film, green filter - Flagstaff


•Such a grand tree, borrowed camera and filter.

Story of the Eye
.
Pentax K-1000 35mm film, zero flash - Bathroom


• Eggs in a toilet. Recreated scene from "The Story of the Eye" by Georges Bataille, but definitely NOT for the same reasons as the author.
• Eggs were hard to flush and I had to crush them with a plunger to get them down. In retrospect, not a good idea at all. They probably started to smell, but luckily I moved out the next day.
