Transparency and Reflection Experimentation











When I was attending Pont Aven School of Contemporary Art, I began to experiment with the idea of natural image layering using reflections and transparent media like glass. All of these images are naturally occurring; I haven't altered any of these in post. 

Disturbing the notion of inside and outside integrates and confounds temporal distinction. I found that you can observe people and be observed more discretely. I caught a couple people watching me photograph, it was interesting because I was photographing them and they thought that they were watching me unnoticed.  

As a photographer, sometimes you feel like a voyeur; it sort of turned the tables on me a bit.

I continued to work with transparencies once I returned to the states, and I've posted some of the image transfers that I did on my Conceptual Work page.

Moving to France Part Two: From Paris to Pont Aven


Laudree. The Best macaroons! 




Le Seine 





View from my room near Le Marais, one of my favorite neighborhoods in Paris









The Bastille Tower


My frist day in Pont Aven (Bretagne) they had a vintage car parade. 
Pont Aven is a small, quaint town near the coast. Pont Aven School of Contemporary Art (PASCA) is located there because Paul Gauguin did a series of famous paintings in the area.












I walked this pier many times while I lived here, it was relatively close to my house. This area is famous for their moules marinières, some say they are the best mussels you can get in the world. 




We had a group dinner each week at Le Moulin. Their pizza was quite good, the crepes...adequate.





The man who owned this tiny store was super nice!


When you walk across this bridge, it smells exactly like bison grass...
