Zoom Talk Friday, 11/6, 5pm (ID 974 9072 4924)
Artist's Statement:
I picked up my first film camera in 2010. I fell in love with the unpredictable results and the process of developing the film. Each individual frame is my own personal canvas. Shooting film has always been exciting to me as there are so many possibilities — from multiple exposure and cross processing to equipment and film stock.
Polaroid is fascinating to me because of the immediate gratification and unexpected results of the pack film. Expired Polacolor offers a variety of color shifts, depending on the age, how it was stored and the speed the film is shot at.
All images here were taken on a Polaroid 195 Land Camera. The film used was Polaroid 669 and Polaroid 690 with expiration dates ranging from 2005 to 2009.

We're excited that Wayne approached us with excitement about coming across these photos shot when he was 19 in Alabama. We all thought it was perfect for the current social climate. He's showing 27 photos shot on slide film & have these prints available. This documentary photographs are different aspect of Wayne's signature underwater photography. Please come thru the shop & take a look. These photographs will be up in the shop thru 10/29/20.
Artist's Statement:
Recently, I was going through some old pictures, and I found 27 slides that I took on the final day of the Selma to Montgomery March back in 1965. I was 19 at the time. It was 55 years ago. I never thought these pictures were very good, but when I look at them now, I realize that they're really historic. They definitely are far from perfect technically, but they give the feeling of being in that March. I was with a group from the LA chapter of CORE (Congress of Racial Equality). We camped on the outskirts of Montgomery with several thousand marchers from around the country, and world, then marched to the capitol building. We passed through the black section of town, where we were cheered, and we passed through the white section, where we were cussed at, I was even spit at. It's amazing that after all these years in a binder, these images chose this particular time to reenter my life.

Artist Statement:
"In 2008, my senior year elective was photography. I didn’t think anything of it at the time, just thought it would be a cool class to take since i had majority of my credits. I didn’t know it would change my view on life. Now I can’t walk around outside without thinking about my surroundings and how I could capture them on my camera. However, The first thing I learned about was photograms , and I’ve been messing with them since I started photography in 2008. You can really get creative with them and I enjoy the adventure of the process involved. I’ll be displaying some photograms of feathers along with some overlay work. Thanks for viewing, Aloha."
