phone camera

i am a huge film purist. reluctantly i agreed to buy a digital camera a few years back for my studio class; it seemed easier and cheaper than attempting to shoot everything with my medium format camera. in fact, i've decided that the only photographs that i'll present to the public as really and truly mine are those i've shot with the hasselblad.

but recently i've started to embrace my own inherent aesthetic independent of fancy cameras and the absurd quality of medium format film. i've started taking pictures with my cell phone.

granted, they're not anything i'd put in a portfolio, but it's actually been really nice to have a means of capturing my life in the ways that most people do--quickly, without much thought or intention, in an almost gut-reaction to the momentary appeals of the world. here are a few:


on a plane.


old neighbor's house in austin


boone


austin


passion vine, austin


somewhere in west texas


town lake. or whatever that lake is downtown.


late night driving around austin


texas capital building


my front stoop, illumed


barton springs


neil looking sketchy.


sox at work. being her usual self


spencer, smoking as always


bored at the dmv


view of downtown from lamar bridge

going to try and update this more often. then again, i always say that. so, who knows.
