Thru eyes of a runner

5 Notes

Who has two crooked dumbo ears, just got a haircut, and loves piecing together before and after pictures in a creepy way with diptic? This guy. #oxfordcomma #ftw (Taken with instagram)

Oh yeah… GPOYW I suppose.

GPOYW - My-skin-is-so-white-I-gotta-wear-shades Ed.

It’s been months since I’ve participated. This facial seizure resulting in a bizarre duckface-like expression will have to do. Deal with it. Plus it’s my birthday tomorrow, so make that extra “deal with it.”

More fun from this. One thing Brad and I learned this day: we are not models. We had no idea what to do with our hands or how to hold our faces or where to avert our eyes. It was fun being on the other side of the camera for once though.

My brother and I enlisted in the multi-talented services of BQ Images to get these great shots. The three photos (click to enlarge), from a fun evening on 2nd St and South Lamar in Austin, were given as Christmas gifts to family.

GPOYSaturday - I never knew daylight could be so violent Ed.

Before being dragged away from San Francisco (kicking and screaming, of course), I stopped by Photobooth on Valencia in the Mission. I lucked out with Michael Shindler being in the building on the day I visited. He was a reserved man, but still took time out to explain to me tintype photography and how the mix of chemicals and specific timing can generate this piece of art he created for me.

This fierce shot was a gift to my brother for Christmas, hence the two-month delayed posting. I was absolutely enthralled by the results of this quick, harmless photo shoot and would recommend it to anyone looking for different kind of awesome gift.

According to their website, “Tintypes are unique photographs made on metal plates, in the tradition of 19th century photography. Each Photobooth tintype portrait is a unique object crafted on a 4” x 5” aluminum plate. An individual tintype portrait takes about 20 minutes to produce from start to finish.”
