So as of late I have been working on screen printing some of my images and decided to take one of my peel apart Polaroids and make it into an 11×14.5 inch print using 8 colors. I also worked on a print of my friend Jimmy jumping the hip at the old bmx/skate warehouse in Rochester, NY. I’ve been trying to expand my photography and what I can do with my photography and I thought this would be an interesting way to work with my images. It will allow me to manipulate the images in any way and color that I wanted to and the process would be a challenge as well as offering me a finished product that I was able to create and not just print out of a printer.

These are the two finished pieces.

I’ve added a video of me screen printing the final color of a 4 color piece that I was working on. It just shows the setup in my garage and some of the printing process.  The video is really time lapse photography that I did with my Canon 40D. I set up the camera in the corner of the garage with a Canon 15mm fisheye and had the remote trigger take and image every 30 seconds for as long as it took me to get things ready, printed and finished. The video is comprised of 67 different images with the frame rate for the video at 3 frames per second. I like how time lapse can show you the process of something and I started playing around with it this past winter here in Minneapolis. Two other time lapse photography videos I made this winter are below.

I’m also thinking of adding traditional video to the site so that you can get a different look at how I set things up for my shoots. We’ll see if I can get around to shooting and editing.
