You can click on the image and get a bigger view of the group. They're not particularly significant images individually. These are ink jet-prints from the original snapshots I made off the TV. The idea was to freeze the frame on "transitional" shots that were never meant to be stills, with an emphasis on picking the most banal subject matter, then thinking about how they did or didn't relate in a grid.
There's really no good way to get this across on the web. And I've never had much response to them in person. But I remain stubbornly attached to the concept and my choices.
cool. I think they're nice. just curious how the grain looks up close.
They're pretty TV-grainy, but the prints have a nice quality--semi gloss finish photo paper.
cool. along the same line, one still from each dvd i have rented so far in 06. i've been thinking of how to print it when i'm done.

I suppose I should add that the first steps of my photos were analog.
The TV was a CRT. The VCR was paused, I shot the photo with a 35 mm camera, and then took the film to a 24-hour lab. The resulting snapshots were then scanned and printed on nice paper with an Epson 2000P. The result is, I guess, "warmer"--although ideally the negatives would be printed the old way, with an enlarger, chemicals, etc., since the digital part of the process makes the work
"colder."
