So yeah, this photo has a copy of CityBeat in it. And yeah, I work for Citybeat. So freakin’ what! I shoot what I see. With this “Ultra Color” film, I really concentrated on finding great colors. This wasn’t easy because for the first two weeks of the project, the sun just hid from me like I was dating its mom and it didn’t want a new daddy. It sucked, and frankly, it’s been pretty grey lately as well. I’m getting a little tired of winter. I’m either moving to the desert or I’m going to start hibernating. Anyway, the lips and words and bright orange color all came together to make this shot.
Later in the day (I think it was this day), I saw a cool frame with a police horse, but you’ll never see it, because I can only shoot one frame a day with my film camera. When I walk outside to lunch or to my car, I carry it on my shoulder. So the horse came up and I was rocking the film body still instead of my digital. You live and learn.
The guy on the cover this the CityBeat in this photo is a guy named C. Spencer Yeh. He’s a crazy avant garde sound and multimedia artist. Read about his work here.
Orange is pretty.
