Ghosts of Photography Past

Dead Bird #1 silver gelatin print copyright sean lewis 2012

I finally developed a roll of film that had been in my 35mm camera for hmmm, 2 years? I was very excited to see pictures from the roadtrip Geoffrey and I took in 2010! Unfortunately, much of the film was damaged. Not sure if it was processed poorly or if it was the leaving it in my camera for two years thing.

Was such a beautiful day today. I was able to get out on my bike and shoot a few pics in East NY, Brooklyn.

One from Athens:

On the drive between Athens, Ga and our campsite there was an oddly vacant swanky looking subdivision. Big walls, gates, curves, and lamp posts, but no houses; no people. I almost missed the shoot, but the light was so beautiful at sunset, that I rushed over to capture it.

Fun times at Floyd Bennett

My friend Jeanette, and I toured some buildings at Floyd Bennet Field yesterday. There are many cool places to explore there. Every time I go, it feels like the place doubles in size. My suggestions for anyone planning a visit: Get lost, get into any building you can find access to, watch out for squatters!
Here are some pieces I've been working on that began at Floyd Bennett.

Brooklyn Navy Yard

Went to print some of the black and white train pics yesterday. Apparently I left some pictures in the darkroom on my last visit. I thought people might enjoy seeing some scenes from inside the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Tomorrow I'll get the train pics back. They turned out awesome.

Pattern Art
Taking a much needed painting break today. Here are some patterns i worked on:

The houndstooth pieces always end up looking like snowflakes.

Wale pattern 4 copyright sean lewis 2010

This is a piece I gave to Geoffrey's mom for xmas. Hers was done in blue with a white background though. The painting is looking absolutely amazing. I think I'll wait a bit longer before showing it again. Maybe I'll wait till it's done. Ha!

Houndstooth Pattern

I'm waiting for my first layer of oil paint to dry. Here is a houndstooth pattern I drew today. It's actually above freezing today and sunny! I'm off to take some pictures.

Here is another piece I started on. I think it's going in a good, abstract direction. the black box is just to give an outline, not part of the piece.
