Midnight in Paris

I wanted to give a detailed description of my trip to Paris last month. Alas, with papers to write and books to read, I’ve lost the will. I will say however that is was incredible. Seeing family was great. We were pampered and well taken care of and the trip couldn’t have been any better. The stereotype of Paris and Parisiens is not deserved(for the most part). I cannot wait to go back.

Long Walk

Long Walk, originally uploaded by jeremytough.

I’ve only started sifting through this summers tree planting pictures but so far, I’m pretty happy. This picture in particular may be one of the best pictures I’ve ever taken.

Holy Night

It would not be an exaggeration to say that I have not felt creative in a very long time. I have not taken a picture in a year nor have I set up my lights and am in fact trying to sell one of my beloved cameras. I used to enjoy drawing, used to love working in Photoshop and was starting to love producing sound art. I’ve had so many ideas for art projects that never see the light of day.
For one reason or another, I have been feeling a little better as of late. Ideas are flowing, I’ve been making playlists for my podcast and am thinking about trying my hand once again at some basic programming(understanding programming language would greatly improve how I function with my web).

Going to see the World Press Photo event last night inspired me. The second floor had a section reserved for local documentary photography talent and I thought to myself: I can do that. I have been sitting on 5 years worth of tree planting pictures. A lot are ordinary and some are bad, but I truly believe that there are some special pictures among them; pictures that honestly capture the life of a Canadian forestry worker. The point is is that, I’m going to finish working on this past summers work and look into submitting a portfolio to some small art/photo magazines. I could get nothing but rejection letters but it is better than not doing it.

After a year in a creative slump, I am slowly crawling my way out.

Changes

I was recently discussing my tree planting blog with my roommate. He asked for the URL to which I responded “ibrokeup.net, and look for the tree planting link. oh and you can go to escapeisathand.com if you want to see my pictures or teenagepornography.net for my podcast”. It was at this point that I realized my online identity is scattered, way too scattered.

Change is good and this change means simplicity and easier navigation. Instead of a 4 or 5 different domains, each disconnected from this blog, you can now visit jeremyfcohen.com and be able to access any of my projects. The podcast will remain at teeenagepornography.net but the website now links back to the main blog.

Please feel free to look at my photography portfolio as it has been updated and overhauled.

Jade

Jade always manages getting onto this blog. She’s pretty and doesn’t mind having a camera shoved in her face. What more can be said? We had a wonderful afternoon and I got to test my lights outside.

Lost Tree Planting Film

I found this roll of film the other day and I was at a complete loss as to what could be contained on it. Was it porn? How could it be porn? What would the film lab think if they found porn on this roll of film? Oh god…should I just throw it out and forget it even exists?

Anyways, I got it back and it turned out to be from 2 years ago. I shot one roll of film with my Holga while tree planting and completely forgot it existed.
