Patiently Awaiting

Finally took images from my Photo 1 class last semester. I kinda went a little overboard with it. teehehee. Took an average of 40 hours of shooting 12 standard black and white rolls of film, developing, printing many, MANY proof prints, and final prints.
Then another average of 40+ hours of designing, hand fabricating the frames and assembly.
I dont like to toot my own horn but im really proud of this one. If you would like to see it
closer or better details heres my flickr link!

Afterlife

wow i never realized i never took photos of this! i made it almost 2 years ago!! and boy let me tell you what those hinges kicked my pa-to-teeeeee!!!


-Afterlife-

Where do we go when we die? Each side of the Pyramid of the Afterlife represents 3 different possible outcomes. The doors are Phoenixes Guarding the entrance, and they known for rebirth. One side represents Buddhists and reincarnation. The back side represents wicca and the returning to mother nature. The final side represents the afterlife. I decided to not go the typical way and represent christianity and went with ancient Egypt instead. The rose inside the pyramid is one of the roses from my grandfathers funeral. I held onto it as long as i could to keep it intact for something really special.
Enjoy.

What?!?! An update?!

Release


Alone in an antique store a boy of old sat
patiently awaiting
day by day for someone
to scoop him up
take him home
and release him.

To give him purpose.
To give him a meaning.

A place to call home again.
A place to be free.

ooooooo first metals project!

YAY!!!!!
