Last year I said my personal goodbye to an American Icon; Kodak’s venerable slide film Kodachrome. Shot a roll of K64 and one of K200. For some reason, I passed over these four shots when I looked over my slides after they came back from Dwayne’s in Kansas. Don’t know why, I love the light and lines in these four shots. Also a reminder that I need to pull out my 20mm more often!

One thing that every photographer should do, every now and then, is go back through your “rejects”, give photos that you initially passed over when you first glanced at that contact sheet, opened that folder of fresh scans from the lab, or downloaded that card from your latest shoot. They breakdown into one of three categories; frames that jump out and slap you in the face, those that you’re kind of “meh” about, and those that never will see the light of day again.
I went though some of the meh from when I first shot Ektar this summer, and I found three frames that I passed over the first time around, and I actually found some things that caught my eye the second time around!

Lately I’ve been thinking about what I want to do with my photography, where I want to go with it, but most importantly how do I stand out from the crowd? Interest in photography has just exploded over the past 5 to 6 years; so many people have picked up cameras and are doing their thing. It’s hard for an individual to be heard, especially if you want to make photography a career. The buzz word for that is to differentiate. Look around the web, there are thousands of photography blogs and websites that will teach you the nuts and bolts, the basics of the craft, then it’s up to you to do something. Say something, find your voice, your style. I promise this is going somewhere! These thoughts kind of tie into some photos I recently shot:
Upon one of my searches around the wormhole known as today’s internet, I somehow came across information on Futuro houses, Modernistic homes that were built in the late 60′s - early 70′s as a way to create a mass marketable home that could easily be built and placed on any terrain around the world. Then due to the gas shortages of the 70′s that made it difficult to manufacture the plastics that were used in the Futuro’s construction, the homes were taken off the market. Around 50 of them still exist worldwide…and one of those 50 just happened to be off of Hwy 276 in Rockwall.
It’s pretty amazing that the outer shell has stood up to the elements for all these years, but I’m using this as an example of differentiation, the designer that created the concept for this home was far out there from any other designer during that period. You have to wonder if not for the Oil Crisis, would more of these homes exist? Would we have whole neighborhoods of these?
But also I think what you could take from this is sometimes being different is just not enough, that when you’re way out there on the edge that it can become hard to sustain yourself, or maybe I’m just overthinking this whole thing just so I can post some photos of a UFO shaped house…

Nothing signals the start of Fall like the State Fair, 125 years of Texas Tradition!
I’ve said it before, but Portra 400 is nothing short of an amazing film…all these photos were shot in the range of Iso 250 to 800 (-2/3 to +1)…in mixed lighting conditions, it’s just so hard not to geek out on this stuff…
