Film and Grain 'Clown at Bay' | Berkeley 2008

Looking for some creative outlets this past week, I pulled down my collection of binders filled with negatives and decided it would be fun to scan some of my old projects and share them with you all! You may remember my last scanned film project where I vowed to make room on my website for my film projects of the past and for the future, and where I was so diligently at the time scanning film, and tediously uploading them to my computer. Well, for better or worse- the looming six weeks of weddings that lay ahead of me at the time carried me not only through that month and a half, but well beyond- and month after month passed. I was so busy with work for my clients (which I equally love of course!) that that last project was my last until now. This time, instead of dreaming so big with hope I'll be able to keep at it, I'll appreciate each opportunity I get to take a look back at some of the things that have moved me creatively in the past. My hope is to follow this project with yet another, so stay tuned...... meaning, I will one day sooner or later.

This clown project was inspired by my first, mentioned above. I had a whole series that I was hoping to complete- but this was the last assignment for a darkroom class I was taking at Berkeley City College in 2008, and have yet to return to this series. Maybe it will continue one day- maybe not. Maybe it will manifest into something new! For now, here is one of my favorite shoots of my dear beautiful friend Sara who so graciously took on this sad sexy clown character for me. Some of these are clearly not that great technically- it was all about the creative vision back then! Thanks so much taking the time, enjoy!
