If you’re on a budget and need a decent light source for portraits, there’s a DIY “Ice Light” that produces quality results for the price. The setup is built around an LED flashlight that’s hovering at only 12 bucks on Amazon.
After that, a single piece of white pipe is used as a flash diffuser. Pretty nifty, right?

David Maisel - Library of Dust (2008)
“In 1913, the Oregon State Insane Asylum began to cremate the remains of unclaimed patients and their ashes were stored in copper canisters.
After decades in storage the canisters have undergone chemical reactions resulting in explosions of vivid blue-green corrosion. Maisel was granted access to the room in which the canisters were stored to document them for his book.”
Artist’s statement:
“Among my concerns with Library of Dust are the crises of representation that derive from attempts to index or archive the evidence of trauma; the uncanny ability of objects to portray such trauma; and the revelatory possibilities inherent in images of such traumatic disturbances.
While there are certainly physical and chemical explanations for the ways these canisters have transformed over time, the canisters also encourage us to consider what happens to our own bodies when we die, and to the souls that occupy them.”

This Is The Place: The path taken to a place can be as definitive as the destination...
The path taken to a place can be as definitive as the destination itself. When I look at these time worn trails through this familiar park I see the footprints of strangers and friends for years.
Trails often form along the path of least resistance through a terrain; an efficient cut…
