Taken at the Sunset Grove Country Club. This was an accidental exposure. It was vastly overexposed, but it pushed the colors in a really nice direction when corrected in Photoshop. I doubt Michael will pick this as his senior portrait.

What’s interesting about this shot is that I took it this past weekend while visiting Orange. Then yesterday I went to an exhibit at the Austin Museum of Art downtown called “Ghost Stories: The Disembodied Spirit”. It featured some incredible work by Sally Mann, Gregory Crewdson (this guy’s color work is phenomenal) and others, but also had quite a few photos from the 1800s, many of them anonymous. Once people discovered double exposures and movement during long exposures, they took full advantage of those techniques to make “ghostly” images, which I feel this one resembles.

Taken with a Graflex 6×9 on Fuji NPS 160. Again, image was forcibly cropped to a 6×7 by the mask.
