'Tis The Season

With weekends occupied by parties, shopping, and other holiday related stuff, finding the time and inclination to photograph has been tough. For me, the mindset required to find and buy someone a gift, particularly under crowded holiday conditions, is completely incompatible with the one needed to take pictures. Yesterday, I spent the better part of the day going through a bunch of our old family...

Anonymous asked: Hey Chad, I would like to discuss your developing techniques. I've got the same 35mm Summarit, and my images are much contrastier than yours. I'd like to get my image contrast closer to what you are achieving. Care to share?

clusterpod asked: Re: Arrested. Your country is a strange place. Arrested for taking photographs from a public place? Isn't that what paparazzi do _all_ the time? The difference being, of course, they are parasites, and you are an artist. Do you really feel that an arrest is a danger for taking photos as you do? That is scary!

Arrested

Homes are one of my favorite subjects to photograph. Long before I got serious about photography, I’d walk neighborhoods. I did this even as a kid. My favorite time was around dusk when people were coming home from work or school and there were signs of life firing up from within. Often they hadn’t closed the curtains yet and walking by, you’d catch a glimpse of someone moving...
