I'm currently working on a collab with a few of the performers pictured in my street work lately. I should have that portfolio complete in the coming week and will probably publish it as a sequenced body of work after I finish with my final images from the summer nights at the Buffalo Flow. In the meantime here's a contextual image for my personal project. It's not a traditional composition, but i like the narrative and it puts the isolated images in this project into a broader setting.

Spacebearbeebop, shown here, will feature prominently in the collaborative project. His skill is something to behold and he's a solid DJ to boot.

Starry Night!

This one just called for a little more artistic license to be applied. It isn't sharp, it's noisy, and the subject's back is to me. But I love it.

Or walking their separate paths,

Their fire burns bright and

Lights the way for those that follow.

Kiss the Sky...

Gerald, aka SpaceBearBeeBop, lost in a moment of flow. I haven't posted as much lately because I've been wrapped up in a project around the wedding of a couple good friends, but I wanted a little diversion. This image violates pretty much any principle of composition and I'm sure it wouldn't score well in competition. But lately I've grown more attached to the content of the image versus its structure and this one is composed to convey the emotion of moments like these.

Buffalo Flow Project 670 - Pan's Dance

As we get closer to the year-end holidays, I've come to realize that this project sang to me at this time precisely because #SpaceBearBeebop's participation felt Pan-like. How would that matter? I associate Pan with Midsommar festivities and the pagan's opposite holidays were the foundation for why we celebrate Christmas near the Winter solstice. It may not be Krampusnacht right now, but this project still feels appropos.

Over the past couple weeks, I've been assisting a young cinematographer in her project based upon a group of local flow arts performers. My part of the project was in shooting the stills. It has been a fun process and I've developed a whole new section of my portfolio. This is a stylized version of one of my images from the project.

With the heat and the glow

whirling about

Back to the night.

With the dancers alight

with the flames,

writhing without a care.

Is he a centurion standing guard against the shadows of the night?

Or a dervish spinning fire into a fervid light?

We may never fully know,

But he burned bright during the flow.
