Recently I have had an interest in looking at the work of artists I admire and trying to emulate specific elements of their work, or just outright duplicating it. I end up teaching myself a good bit in the process. Harold Edgerton was the master of high speed photography, something that I have never thought much about, outside of sports photojournalism applications. He invented the Stroboscope, which was the predecessor of modern electronic flash. I have always thought about stopping motion through the use of high shutter speeds, but if you have a short enough duration of flash that is significantly brighter than the ambient light it will also stop motion. If you don’t have a major difference between the ambient and the flash you can get some interesting motion blurs. After thinking about all of this and researching the flash duration of different strobes I own, I started thinking about some photos I had envisioned, and then poorly executed in college. Gorjus and I wanted to do something for MLK’s birthday, rather than just enjoying the day off. It was probably our first collaboration. I took some photos that I envisioned symbolizing ideals of the civil rights movement, and Gorjus did some text. We then made good use of the honors house photocopier and “published” our high contrast, heavy-handed pamphlets. Continue reading ‘Coalesce’

The Congress Street Show went better than I had hoped. There were enough artists fill the street, and the public response was wonderful. We also were able to support a Mississippi brewery, Lazy Magnolia, by selling four of their kegs in the beer trailer.

I uploaded a few photos, unfortunately I ended up being too busy to take many . . . the image below links to the album.
