Went to Bartlesville a couple weeks ago, saw the sights, did some things, got into stuff. My friends Heather and Kyle invited me up to see a show, Truckstop Honeymoon, and to shoot Kyle’s two-man band, er… not sure what their name is, I’ll update this when I find out.
“Photography is not a ‘difficult’ medium. All photographs are, by definition, ‘easy’ to make—you just push a button. The value of the medium lies in the photographer’s calling a moment in time to our attention—a moment we might otherwise have missed—and saying ‘this is important.’ It takes something simple and fleeting and turns it into something emblematic.” – William Eggleston
Yeah, more from the same shoot. The first two we were going for some kind of oklahoma-y look, and the last was just to be creepy.
Christa needed photos for her real world audition or something, and I’d been looking to do some kind of shoot for a while, something that got me away from the usual available-darkeness-drunk-friends schtick. My brother (the real one in ABQ) had just sent me some new lights, stands and umbrellas-2 of each, in fact. So we got together and did this in about an hour in my living room.
