I have finalized what I'm going to do for my full show at the Burkholder Project in November, and here's a sneak peak!

I bought a device off of a gentleman who does a lot of DIY photography projects. The objective is simple: It connects an old TLR, in this case a Kodak Duaflex II, to my camera, and I shoot through one of its lenses. You can get some neat effects doing this, including original dust build up and the frayed frame edges. The effect can be similar to those iPhone and Android apps that you can buy, but in this case I'm using actual hardware to get the core image.

I'm going to do a lot of shooting over the next few months for the show using this set up. Ultimately I'm going to print 5 x 5 prints matted and framed to 10 x 10. But the really cool thing about the show originates from an idea given to me by Lydia. Each photo will only be printed once. Anyone that buys one of the photos gets the satisfaction of knowing that they are the only person in the world that will have it. Each print will be signed, and marked 1/1 for authenticity. I'll retain a digital copy for portfolio/promotional purposes only.

I'm hoping to shoot at least 50 new, worthy images for the project, which should drive the price down in regards to my costs, thus making it so that I can offer the prints at a price point people can afford.

Please let me know if you have any thoughts on the project!
