noise to signal

Work in progress

Part of the massive negative sorting and scanning project I've been engaged in for the last few days has been towards the goal of seeing what kind of work I've been doing on the street for the past year, edit it towards a show, and to inspire me to spend more time shooting on the street.

It's not that I don't love photographing on the street, it's just that, well, inertia is a powerful force, innit?

Anyway, here's a small selection of what I made work prints of today. And what you're seeing is definitely a work in progress -- aside from doing the most basic tonal adjustments on these images, they're basically untouched -- there are dust spots, and most of them aren't printed the way I'd want them for a final show. Some of them probably won't make a next cut. I'll probably look at some others and think "why did they even make a first cut?"

Think of this as a glimpse into my artistic process, as horrifyingly pretentious as that sounds.
