If you’ve been following along, I recently released a new series of artworks in collaboration with Anne Marie. If you’re a subscriber, you may have seen those newsletters. If you haven’t, and would like to read and view them, click here and here. I also released behind the scenes photos and videos in a paid subscriber newsletter which you can view here.

As the title of this newsletter suggests, I’m once again sharing behind-the-scenes photos—though this time, they were made with a Holga camera using slide film and a cross processing development. This shift changes the mood of the photographs, giving them more of a “fine art” appearance rather than typical behind the scenes imagery.

I’m considering printing one or two, but for now I wanted them to “live” somewhere and be seen. If you’re already a paid subscriber, thank you—your support is deeply appreciated. If you’re not, please consider becoming one. I’ve set the monthly subscription to the lowest amount possible, $5. That $5 goes a long way in helping me stay on the path I’ve chosen.
