I'v began to scan recent work from the black and white 4x5 class i took with Laura McPhee and Abelardo Morell this past fall. I'v decided to go through all of it in chronological order, beginning with the night photographs. However, it's certainly nice to look back and see my work as a whole. With the exception of the triptych that i made in The Fenway Gardens, i feel the night photographs are concrete evidence of progression. This is when i began experimenting with development times as well as bracketing to get the perfect negative. It was definitely stressful making a photograph at night with a dark cloth over my head. I was constantly paranoid about something happening to me or my equipment, especially when i was in abandoned parking lots and pitch black alleyways. Yet, it's all worth it in order to make a good image…
