Day 105 of 365
(perpetual motion machine)
A photo I took of the Venice pier last weekend inspired me to stand in other places and take the same photo over and over.
I’m not sure how I feel about this attempt.

April 12th, 2014I recently collaborated with Kneon magazine on a feature for their 10th issue.
Portraits to accompany interviews of some LA-based models.
I got to shoot (mostly) analog.

(chris cook/venice 2014)
This image didn’t make it to print but I kind of love it.
Fuji instant peel apart film shot with an old school Polaroid land camera.
A sample from the editorial and more daily photos after the jump…
99/365
April 9th, 2014At the end of January, I worked on a music video for The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger (the GOASTT).
Directed by my partner in crime, I spent the two-day shoot taking still photographs.
The vibe of the video is all 70’s so I busted out the prisms.
(as if I needed an excuse though…)
The video premiered yesterday so in honor of that, I bring you day 99…

91/365
April 1st, 2014And once again we’ve reached the 1st day of a new month.
I introduced other film formats into this yearly endeavor. I posted more photos of people.
I also started (and finished) the task of organizing my negatives – and I came across photos I hadn’t seen in years (sometimes a decade).
And some of them were good.
Day 91 of 365
(requiem for dying mothers)
I saw Finding Vivian Maier today.
A woman who’s work was only discovered after her death. And only then because someone bought a box of her negatives.
And thus began the quest to find out more about this unassuming nanny who turned out to be one of the most prolific street photographers of our time.
She worked in a very different genre than I.
But I find her incredibly inspiring. I mean, she created a HUGE body of work for no one but herself.
She didn’t worry if it would appeal to the masses. She did what she wanted.
We can all learn a lesson from Ms. Maier.

(sans soleil)
2006.
This is the single most beautiful light leak/chemical mishap to ever happen to me.
It basically changes what would have been a completely static image into something that is on fire.
Alive.
More daily photos, random experiments, and published work…

March 25th, 2014Looking back to 2005 and (what I think is) the first roll of film I ran through my Holga.
Traveling fair. Osgoode, Ontario.
