Adam Ekberg

Adam Ekberg, Arrangement #3

I discovered Adam Ekberg via Daily Serving this morning. Absolutely amazing work.

Eureka – new work

I feel like I’ve reached a new level in terms of how and what I photograph.

Having said that, I thought I’d post a few more images I’ve been working on lately. I will be making intaglio contact prints of them which will be bound into a series of 3 small books (roughly 20-25 prints in each).

I haven’t completely nailed down where I’m going conceptually with this body of work yet, but I have a pretty good idea. It will suffice to say that I’m very excited about it. More on that later.

Work in progress – a taste.

N 32.22195, W 110.86723. January 2, 2010.

I’ve been working my way through the last couple boxes of Polaroid Type 55 film, and I’m really happy with the resulting images. Here’s one of them; the rest will be posted once I finish scanning them.

New year. New work. New website. And more.

I’ve been busy redesigning my website, and it somehow seemed appropriate for the launch to coincide with the new year. So here we are, January 1st. Here’s the new website, complete with a new body of work. Those of you who’ve been incessantly asking to see what I’ve been working on in grad school can finally take a break (you know who you are).

To make this occasion even more spectacular, I have started a tumblr account as a sort of off-shoot of the Daily Polaroid. Now that I have a phone with a decent camera and the ability to be connected to the internet at all times (I’m referring, of course, to my new Droid), I have no choice but to take advantage of this. And so, I present Aggregated Moments.

Digging through the archives

Livingston, MT, 8-29-08.  I think I need to start using my Holga again…

Print club revival. Sort of.

The print club is back in a slightly different format. I’ve decided that forcing myself into periodical updates/offerings through my website is taking away from the magic of image making. Rather than doing away with the print club idea entirely, I’ve decided to offer prints for sale as they become available. And so, I present to you, the Occasional Print Club (see link above or the latest print below).

New images

I thought I’d post a few new images that I’ve been working on down here in Tucson. I was somewhat reluctant to make them public without some sort of explanation, but my desire for feedback has overshadowed said reluctance. So I have decided to compromise and precede them with a brief explanation.

The prints are 30″ in the longest dimension, and range from 21″ to 24″ in the other. They are cyanotypes toned in tannic acid, varnished, and tiled together to make the whole image. I’m attempting to take a more meditative approach to capturing scenes that are often overlooked. I want to encourage a slow, intimate dialog between the audience and these spaces through the labor-intensive process of creating the collages. The images were broken up into pieces to provide a more interactive experience for the viewer.

Scouting trip to Tucson

I’ve been in Tucson for a couple days, driving all over town in search of a place to live next year. I turned in an application for an apartment this morning.

Having accomplished my mission with a day and a half to spare, I got into the rental car, chose a direction (which happened to be west) and went for a drive. A few miles out of town I suddenly found myself in the midst of one of the many saguaro sanctuaries in the area. Here are a few images from the drive.
