Polignano di Mare, Italia

a shot of me in Polignano di Mare, Italy- earlier this decade

i've been sorting through fotos today-trying to box them up and organize them as i am over-run with them from doing some picasa online albums of old polaroids. of course, i will only box them up, move them... and then take them out, scan and sort them... again! the story of my life. always sifting.

this shot was made in Polignano di Mare, Italy- it was/is incredibly beautiful there. It was shot on a day-trip when i was working in Italy one of the various times. i spent months at a time working there, different years. On the back of the foto is printed august 7, 2001- but that doesn't sound right... it had to be earlier.

cotton gin- baskin, louisiana

this is one of my favorite subjects- an old cotton gin in baskin, louisiana. every time i pass it, i shoot it w/various cameras. i went to winnsboro to do a private party july 5, and shot this en route. i shot it with an old broken Polaroid i have [the flash mechanism was broken off- i got it at goodwill for a few bucks] and normal Polaroid 600 color film. i scanned it and cropped it in Photoshop, then sepia toned it in Picasa- then added more contrast in Photoshop.
