Ripping off Eggleston: Midtown bottle
Photography is split into two parts, William Eggleston and the other half. I was trying out the Contax 645 in midtown in July before heading out to Peru and fell in love with the little suds of this half-finished beer bottle on the street. I knew it was his jam all over, but I couldn’t help it.
Besides, the Contax 645 is amazing! This was just an experiment with expired film. All future projects will burst forth from that wonderful creature.

Lima, Peru: A Glass Brightly
Just returned from seven weeks in Peru. A few pictures to go through. Crests of mountains, river jumps, morning fog, whirlwinds of butterflies, walking on giant dunes, flying above cosmic signs, papaya juice, chirimoya, cream of pumpkin soup, alpaca steak, coca tea, the generosity of strangers and life experiences that are whole, pure and overwhelming.
A new photo every day for the next month.
