It’s melting…

One thing I love to do is photograph old home movies while they are playing on the television set. The first time I experimented with this technique was in college for a photo essay project that explored memory and family history. I used a 35mm film camera and photographed old Super 8 footage of my dad and grandparents that had been transferred to VHS. I love the graininess you get when photographing film on film. This image is more hi-fi, as it was recorded on my iphone from a DVD played on a laptop. (My mom’s Christmas gift to all of us kids was a DVD of all the old VHS tapes. It just might be my favorite present ever.) This is my friend Katy dancing around at age 10. We decided if she ever puts out a record, this should be the album cover.

Another snowy day in North Carolina. I love how everything stops for a short while.
