Before I made this post, I checked to see when the last time I actually blogged. Nearly half a year ago. The time was different then as it is now. Much has happened. I lost someone dear to me. The need to make my life so public became quickly silenced and so this blog has sat abandoned by the wayside. It's hard for me to express my loss in written and spoken words and so I make new photographs instead.<br />
<br />
Brittle skin. Exposed roots. A broken heart.<br />
<br />
It hasn't been long since my father died so the feelings are fresh. They hit me often. I believe that some might call me a "functioning mourner". I'm able to do what I need to do to get through my day while quietly masking my feelings until I explode. When my father passed, it was already late into the night. The very next day, I woke up at 4am, took a 2 hour train ride to work and taught two 4 hour classes. That night we took a red eye back home to prepare for the funeral.<br />
<br />
It wasn't until we landed, walking past the gates to the exit, that I thought of the last time my father picked me up from the airport. The memory overwhelmed me so much that I finally broke down, crying hysterically in front of the TSA.<br />
<br />
Since then I've been able to outwardly appear fine but I would be remiss if I didn't mention that I lose myself in grief from time to time. I am now slowly learning to deal with that. <br />
<br />
Many things remind me of my father. Music and movies are hard triggers for me. He loved going to the movies. He loved 70s rock. I was in London, eating Thai food at a very nice restaurant with absolutely nothing to do with my dad when all of a sudden I hear Jim Croce. Instant tears. I went to go see a blockbuster movie over the summer. I saw a father and son sitting in a movie theater and just started balling. For a while, it all was overwhelming. It made my days hard and eventually my nights. I started having vivid dreams of mundane events with my father in them. And thus it was a constant cycle of seeing and being tormented by the memory of him. <br />
<br />
With the recent passing of beloved Robin Williams, I revisited an old movie of his, Hook. The movie tells the story of Peter Pan all grown up played by Williams. There's a scene in the middle where Peter must convince the Lost Boys that he is still the exact same Peter Pan that they all loved and followed many years ago. A small boy goes up to Peter and carefully examines his face. He reaches out and touch's Peter's face. The boy turns Peter's head this way and that. The moment is beautiful and exemplifies child-like innocence and curiosity. After careful consideration, the boy's face lights up and he says in a simple statement, "Oh there you are Peter".<br />
<br />
I love that scene and this movie. There's a lot of themes and emphasis on childhood imagination, families, love, and acceptance. The movie also holds such a sentimental place in my heart since my own father, named Peter, was an Army pilot that loved to fly. My childhood is filled with him exclaiming to be THE Peter Pan and later after the movie Hook came out, being able to crow louder than any Lost Boy, pirate and Captain alike.<br />
<br />
It is such a happy and loved memory that my remembrances began to outweigh my sorrow. I didn't cry and it wasn't a trigger. It was a realization. I realized that I can remember my father through all the associations that I encounter and choose to hold on to the good memories they elicit rather than push them away before finally bursting into hot, sad tears. It's small and silly perhaps. But it's truthful and real for me.<br />
<br />
I'm not perfect. I don't expect my sadness to go away. And though he isn't here, I will try and keep his memory alive by carrying his traditions, his likes, and his hopes for me. This is a small step for me and something I've finally been able to accept. No longer will I turn away and ignore my feelings. I know now. The next time I happen to think of my father I will approach it like the boy said with such simple acceptance, "oh there you are Peter".<br />

This weekend Thom and I rented a car for a day and got the hell out of the city. We drove up north, to go visit the Point Reyes Lighthouse. I'm embarrassed to say that in the three years that we've lived in San Francisco, both Thom and I have not made the trip to the most western point of the peninsula. Some day trips seem obligatory and placed on that proverbial bucket-list. Muir Woods, Napa & Sonoma, Tomales Bay, Santa Cruz, Half Moon Bay and Monterrey are just a few in that list. Point Reyes has been there for a while and I'm glad that we finally got a chance to go see the area. It's funny because we've been up in that area twice before on the other side of Tomales Bay. There, I've raved about the amazing oysters and bay views but I can't believe how much more we've missed out on the other side of that bay. <br />

Our car ride was interesting in the fact that the landscape continually changed. Right after crossing that iconic Golden Gate Bridge, we were set to view some of the most changing and dynamic landscapes that Northern California offers. All roads are deemed cautionary squiggles on yellow sign posts throughout the trip and we viewed everything from giant red woods, marshy swamps, vast green pastures and deep, dense foggy hillsides.<br />

When we finally got to the lighthouse, the fog was so thick you couldn't see more than 20 feet in front of us. All vehicles had to park at Drakes beach across the way and we took a shuttle bus to the lighthouse itself. The ride was nice enough, minus the unsettling worst-case scenario thoughts that came to mind as the mega bus took sharp turns around narrow and steep ledges.<br />
<br />
When we finally arrived, we descended the quarter-mile walk towards the end point and caught glimpses of the ocean through the fog. At one point, the fog seemed to burn off a bit and we were able to see clearly below. A friendly docent was nearby and spotted a migrating whale just off of the coast. Thom and I kept a keen lookout for whales but alas, between the fog and our untrained eyes, we just couldn't spot any. I really wanted to see one and I think, in my hopes, I zealously exclaimed to see a whale just below. It turned out it was just a whale-shaped current. :(<br />

We stopped back at Drakes Beach for a picnic lunch. There, the weather was warmer and the fog had burned off from the south. We were able to take in the coastal views and just relax.</div>

I'm not sure if the Point Reyes Park has gone through recent renovations and changes, but the facilities we encountered were all newish and clean. The rangers and docents were all very friendly and knowledgeable and there seemed to be plenty of parking. Despite having to pay the mandatory $5 shuttle ticket to and from the lighthouse, I felt that the money was being put to good use. There are plenty of trails to roam around and take in great views from. Not only are there whale migrations that you can see come through this time of year but also sea lions. (We missed that stop on our way back but having seen, heard, and smelled them at Pier 39, I didn't think we were missing all too much.) All in all, I was really impressed with the park.</div>

It's hard to drive through Point Reyes and not see all the cows. The park has a series of ranches given names from the letters of the alphabet. We were told that the entire park was once owned by a law firm that leased out the land to various dairy farmers from all over the world. Irish, Italian, and English farmers would raise cows next to each other and create some of the world's best butters, cheeses, and dairy products. So of course, we made a stop at Point Reyes Station on our way back. We walked along the main street and up to Cowgirl Creamery. After tasting some cheeses and marveling over others, we walked away with some sharp cheddar and triple cream.</div>

All in all, today made for a great trip and a nice drive outside of familiar settings. Point Reyes offers so much and more. I know that we'll be making repeat trips back up there if not for seeing happy free-roaming cows and windy coastal views but for the delicious oysters and newly discovered cheeses. :)</div>

More class portraits to share here. The first set was from a few weeks ago and they were taken just after my students all had midterms. You can visually see the shared relief in those portraits. We were outside discussing various lighting situations [as you do] when I asked each of them to let me take their portrait by their car. I think that Mary Ellen Mark came to mind when I took these images...<br />
<br />
The second set of images comes from my new love of True Detective. That opening sequence! Amazing!! I've seen double exposures floating around the internet for a while and it was fun to make these, I admit. They were easy enough to put together and all the images I had taken already from previous trips and shoots. This week we will be discussing the ever expanding definition of what a portrait can and cannot display. Strong relationships of people to place seem to overtake this subject. Can the environment tell more of a person? Can a person tell more of the environment? When put together, do either hide or reveal a person?<br />
<br />
This week, I'm excited to see what my students came up with after our environmental field trip last Wednesday. I really want to display their work in the halls since it seems to excite them a bit more about my 8am class. We shall see!Erin Mahoneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14337529216065952346noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1158111587221418468.post-84142833667309677572014-02-24T17:54:00.000-05:002014-02-24T17:54:07.450-05:00Wet Plate Workshop<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This past weekend I had the excited opportunity to take a wet plate class at <a href="http://raykophotocenter.com/" target="_blank">Rayko</a>. The whole workshop was intense, too short, and all too addicting. I can really understand why tintypes have gotten <a href="http://www.victoriawill.com/TINTYPES" target="_blank">so much buzz</a> as of lately. When you see one in person, they are more than what is viewed online or in print. There's more dimension and textures found in tintypes that I encourage any interested to check them out.</div>

Carlos was a wonderful instructor and I have nothing but the highest regards for him and his teaching practices. We started Saturday off by observing the entire process from coating a plate, capture in camera, and development. Sunday we watched how to mix the collodion and later, varnish the plates.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I focused on self-portraits again. I have been very curious about seeing my ideas in wet plate and working with this new medium. If only I had a working darkroom! I worked with the available student 4x5 view cameras and also played with the Holga as well. Both cameras are dedicated to wet plate and the 4x5 film holders are slightly modified to hold wet plates.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My dreams of owning a working wet plate studio and darkroom will have to wait further along but for now space can be rented at Rayko.</div>

Each week in my portrait class that I'm currently teaching, I try and take a portrait of my students. <i>Try</i>, being the optimal word here. Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't. Sometimes we don't have time or someone is absent. Sometimes they refuse over the idea of an 8am portrait but sometimes they cheese-out in front of the camera. More over than not, I find that they get more involved and interested as each new week emerges. Last time I took simple portraits using my Fuji Instax. We utilized the classroom white board and I asked them to define themselves in one word. <br />
<br />

We broke down his ideas and aesthetics behind the signature style and then recreated it in studio. We discussed the importance behind posing and composition. I had them think about Schoeller's interest in the eyes and why they were so piercing. My students get very involved and I feel lucky that I can share these images here.<br />
<br />
This week is midterms and I'm excited to see their projects and own work! <br />

New, new, new.<br />
<br />
That seems to be the running theme this week.<br />
<br />
To begin with, I managed to get my darkroom set-up. I blackened out the windows, screwed in the red lights, cleaned out old chemicals, dusted off my trays and hung my apron. All last week I worked on running my exposure tests and getting a feel for my newly made exposure unit. (All in all, I say quite a success!)<br />
<br />
I worked with some images shot from a few weeks ago via my Stern Grove/Petzval excursion. And of course, as such imagery does, they came out beautifully in Cyanotype.<br />

Initially, I ran some of what I like to call, "<i>shot in the dark</i>" curves on my Cyanotypes. This just means that I'm lazy. I found a random curve that someone had suggested off of the internet and used it as a part of my first tests. Only two more additional tests [with step wedges] I finally found a custom curve that suited my needs in tonal range. I'm pleased how far I was able to spread out the blacks and the only toning I ended up doing was a quick hydrogen peroxide bath for deeper, more saturated blues. I also had some minor contact issues when exposing. To begin with, I utilized a clear piece of plexiglass held down with some weights. The contact was terrible and all my images were soft. To fix this, I ended up buying a cheap frame from Walgreens (on sale!) for about $7. Instant contact, sharp detail.<br />

<br />I started a new series, one that I'll now call <i>Fragments</i>. I had the idea nearly six months ago but couldn't seem to find the motivation to shoot it until now. It's funny how the art-making process works. I still remember exactly why I had wanted to create this series too. The main idea came from a random accident that occurred involving a side mirror and glass shattering onto the ground. During that time I also was trying to find relief from the complexity of heavy duty thesis project. This series is kind of my "stripped bare, back to the roots, as close to straight photography as I'm going to get" kind of project...which really doesn't say anything at all about the images. But in terms of my shooting style, these do seem pretty far removed.<br />

Finally, I'm honored to say that tomorrow is the opening reception for the <a href="http://www.vtphotoworkplace.com/id233.html" target="_blank"><i>Imagined Realities</i> exhibit</a>, curated by Shana and Robert ParkeHarrison. The exhibit shows through the month of February until March 14th at PhotoPlace Gallery in Middlebury, Vermont. This is my second time showing at PhotoPlace and then third time that the Red Bag has exhibited across the country. The ParkeHarrison's have always been a great inspiration to me as conceptual artists and image makers, so I'm thrilled that they would choose my image as a part of their 40 piece curated show. If in Middlebury, please stop by!<br /><br />Erin Mahoneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14337529216065952346noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1158111587221418468.post-46706590662461672872014-01-28T15:22:00.001-05:002014-01-28T15:22:25.523-05:00Leather and wood organizer<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A while back I had posted a teaser photo on <a href="http://A while back I had posted a teaser photo on Instagram. I had started a new project! Horray! The only problem " target="_blank">Instagram</a>. Horray! I had started a new project! Typically when I do so, it usually takes me a few weeks to complete.<br />
<br />
Not this time around! I suppose I still have the "new year" attitude to just get stuff done.<br />
<br />
So I found this lovely post on Design*Sponge and was instantly inspired to create my own wood and leather organizer. In my project, I went a step further than their DIY. I decided to add a few coats of clear glossy Polyurethane to my base board and then hang it on my wall.<br />
<br />

<br />
To begin with, the whole reason I even began this DIY was because I had most of the materials lying around my studio and house. An extra random Ikea board? <i>Check.</i> Salvaged leather scraps?<i> Check.</i> Finish, miscellaneous tools and a hanging kit? <i>Check, check, and check.</i> I suppose that the only two things that I purchased were based off of wants rather than necessities. ( I really liked the look of the brassy escutcheon pins and again, I wanted a glossy finish to my base board. I have a few cans of semi-gloss in my garage and I knew that regular nails would work just as well. But design aesthetics prevail and together, the pins and stain cost me around $10)<br />
<br />
So again, materials you will need:<br />
<ul>
<li>Wood plank (Mine measured 7.25"x31")</li>
<li>Leather</li>
<li>Brass nails/Escutcheon pins</li>
<li>Fine grit sandpaper (I used 220 grit)</li>
<li>Clear Gloss Polyurethane (I used <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CDkQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.minwax.com%2Fwood-products%2Finterior-clear-protective-finishes%2Fminwax-fastdrying-polyurethane&ei=_wroUsvZIKWIyAGCjIAI&usg=AFQjCNFFTg_7PwaGKusNY3Q23EzEYOAtaQ&sig2=RT83KzPlPpSoIxqVXyBzqA&bvm=bv.60157871,d.aWc" target="_blank">Clear gloss fast-drying Minwax Polyurethane</a>)</li>
<li>Cheap 2" brush</li>

<li>Drill </li>
</ul>

<br />
The first thing I did was to prep my materials. I cut out the pockets from the leather and lightly sanded the wood for the finish. I measured out three different sizes for my leather pockets:<br />
<ul>
<li>6.25"x10" </li>
<li>6.25"x12"</li>
<li>6.25"x16" </li>
</ul>
The reason why I choose these measurements was just based off of the type of mail I tend to receive. Postcards, legal letters, miscellaneous... Once folded, each pocket could hold various types of mail based on their size. I utilized some heavy duty fabric scissors to cut through the leather but if you don't own a pair, just use a handy utility knife on a cutting surface.<br />

Next I added my clear, glossy poly finish to the base board. Originally I thought I'd add about two coats of poly, I ended up adding four. (The whole raw wood thing is nice. But I don't like splinters and I often times end up with some kind of injury because of a raw edge. I wanted the base board to look slick and smooth to the touch.) This process took the longest since I had to wait in-between coats to add new layers. I recommend the Minwax fast-drying polyurethane. It cut the drying time in half and I was able to add two coats a day.<br />

After waiting between coats, make sure that you lightly sand when the poly is dry. This ensures an even and dust free surface. After sanding, wipe down the wood with a damp cloth. Dry off the wood and you're ready to for another coat!<br />

Finally, after the fourth coat of poly, I was satisfied enough to bring in the baseboard and finish the rest of the project. Not pictured here, but again, I lightly sanded the wood and wiped it down one final time. Here I marked out the placement of each pocket.<br />

Once I had the placement of each pocket figured out, I marked where I wanted to nail in the pins. I placed one pin in the middle of the back portion of the pocket and two on the outer corners securing it in place.<br />

<br />This last step was of my own preference. I knew that I wanted to hang this on the wall in my kitchen. You don't have to hand this piece but just leave it at that. The Design*Sponge DIY shows their organizer leaning up again a wall or counter.<br />
<br />
So in my case, I ended up pre-drilling some small holes for wiring and added some foam bumpers on the lower portion of the board.<br />

And done! It's that easy. It probably only took me three and half days to complete this project and with a minimal amount of effort and materials. I know that Thom and I will find great use of something so simple and I love the end result.Erin Mahoneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14337529216065952346noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1158111587221418468.post-3598053580387039882014-01-19T19:35:00.000-05:002014-01-19T19:35:04.028-05:00Stern Grove Shoot<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Today has been so warm and lovely. It is one of the few ironically sunny days here in the Sunset neighborhood. So I finally got out of the house and walked over to Stern Grove with Thom. Here are my test shots from the new Petzval lens. I'm still learning everyday from this lens (i.e. focusing issues) and the results have been increasingly better each time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My next step with this lens is to figure out how to shoot self-portraiture...</div>

Along with my amazing Petzval lens, my package also came with a nifty little camera called La Sardina. (A wide-angle 35mm tin can camera) I haven't had much time to play around with this new retro camera but I did end up up-cycling the wooden box it came in. I've hoarded a bunch of little succulents throughout the year and I've guiltily placed them in the back room as a temporary home. Thom had suggested to just get rid of them but I couldn't see throwing away such lovely little plants. A few of them had come from the boutonnieres of all the men in our wedding. Needless to say, they mean something every time I look at them.<br />
<br />
So I drilled a hole in the bottom of the box, lined it with plastic and filled it with dirt. I planted the succulents and gave it a good watering. The box now sits proudly on my kitchen table and has become a lovely reminder of grand past memories.<br />
<br />
As you can see in a few of these photos, I shot with my new lens. It definitely takes a bit of practice. The super shallow depth of field makes it hard to create perfect in focus subject matter but I've slowly been getting the hang of it.<br />
<br />
More to come... <br />

Nearly six months ago I pined. I longed. I wished. I waited...<br />
<br />
I had stumbled upon the latest kickstarter lens project that had actually held my attention and made it's way straight to my heart. The Petzval lens redeveloped to fit a DSLR camera system. The project rooted itself deep in the same vein of old technologies mixing with new. An idea and belief that I practice within my own art. This project heralded back to "what once was" and yet seemed so cavalier. The old with the new. I love it.<br />
<br />
And so, Thom surprised and gifted me the Petzval as my graduation present from receiving my masters. The only catch was that I'd have to wait for production to get underway...actually far away in Russia, until the estimated ship date of early spring 2014.<br />
<br />
Two weeks ago a package came for me in the mail. And I flew home back to New York at the exact same time. So again, I pined. I longed. I wished. I waited. Well my friends, the wait is over. And it was Christmas all over again. I was so excited about receiving this package that I can't even create a proper blog post or even write a decent review on the highly anticipated newly revolutionized Petzval lens for digital systems. Blame my jet lag if you will. <br />
<br />
I did manage to shoot off a few tests around my apartment before the sun dropped. Those I'll share here if only to admire that beautiful, swirly, creamy Petzval-renowned depth of field. <br />
<br />
Don't worry, only after unpacking, a good long shower, hot meal and some decent sleep, will I go out this weekend, shoot and dutifully report.<br />

Why hello there...<br />
<br />
It's been quite a while since I last blogged (Blogger says 4 months!) and I don't have much of a good excuse as to why I haven't been keeping up. I suppose that life just happens outside of blogging... <br />
<br />
Recently I went to go see David Hockney's exhibition at the de Young museum. I was surprised to see Hockney's dedication to exploring a single subject continually, for a length of time. Hockney specifically focused his attention on the famous "Sermon on the Mount" by Claude Lorrain. The exhibition showcased his version of the painting in numerous variations and editions. For such a common and well known idea, Hockney continued to explore and push the ideas of the painting, transforming it into something of his own.<br />
<br />
Inspired by my recent gallery visit, I want to create a blend of the
mundane and the extraordinary. Specifically, I'm interested in the idea
of ascension and transformation. Where would it happen? What is the
reaction? What do you leave behind? I plan to continue this exploration and create a series of narratives based on this new idea. <br />
<br />

Just thought I'd share the big news that this Thursday will be the opening reception for my first solo exhibition. My graduate thesis, Another Me, is being shown at the AAU Gallery at the Cannery through this month of September.<br />
<br />
I'm still [slowly but surely] getting things together down there and I am super nervous to get it all done by 5:30pm. We'll see...<br />
<br />
In other news, I managed to get a new website up. It now holds my series, resume and extra information in a nice, neat, and presentable way. The positive thing about it all is that I'm using Wix and can edit or make changes easily enough. So check it out and let me know what you think!<br />

<br />
A few weeks back I purchased a <a href="http://thisisya.com/seasonal" target="_blank">seasonal fruit & vegetable poster from Young America Creativ</a><a href="http://thisisya.com/seasonal" target="_blank">e</a>. The letter-pressed poster lists the seasonal fruits and vegetables for each month out of the year in the Bay Area. I love the details and that it was created locally. The site boasts that a 200 year old Berkley letterpress machine created the print. If you get close to mine, you can visibly see the impressions it has left on the paper. The gold color used to illustrate each seasonal fruit and vegetable hits the light just so that each time I pass by it, I pause for a second to take a admiring look. And to top it all off, it came framed using reclaimed wood. I have actually referred to the poster now and again for ideas on meals and canning.<br />
<br />
Today I stopped by my local farmers market and picked up about 6lbs of ripe roma tomatoes for about $5. Tomatoes are easy to can in the fact that you need one other ingredient, lemon juice, to add to each can before processing. Tomatoes are also easy to <i>want to can</i> since they can be added in so many ways to everyday cooking. I like them because I'd rather put them in my homemade chili than store bought canned tomatoes from a metal can which have a weird tinny aftertaste. <br />
<br />
A few hours later, I now have 6 pints of freshly canned tomatoes.<i> </i>Working in smaller batches has taken the weariness out of the kind of canning I grew up knowing and hating. (Think of a hot summer day in a narrow kitchen with too many hot and sticky people, bushels of tomatoes, multiple canning pots boiling at once, and no air conditioning. <i> Canning no es bueno.)</i> Living in the Bay Area has proven to have the best weather for canning since I can receive the season's finest produce without the hot Indian summer weather. As I write this, I look out my window and see fog. It is a nice and temperate 65 degrees. My kitchen remains unsweltering. I considering that winning. And because of all these things packed down into a jar of tomatoes, this is truly the easiest season.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>To begin:</b> The overall success of a Cinemagraph depends
on the looping nature of the .gif file. <i>What is looping exactly?</i> Looping refers to the repeating and
synchronized visual element in a video.
Cinemagraphs that appear to loop seamlessly give the overall impression
of a still image with captured movement that looks natural and
coordinated. Scenes that show
predictable elements that repeat naturally in real life will have a higher
success of a working Cinemagraph. (Think
of a moving escalator or busy road.
Traffic and patterns of movement are created within these two scenes
that appear assumed and natural.)</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It’s also
important to remember that a Cinemagraph is not a replication of motion
video. It does not try to recreate a
visually intense scene but rather a subtle movement or effect that you would
like to highlight.</span></span></div>

black, all layers placed within the folder are not visible. This means that no motion will be seen if we
were to hit play on the Cinemagraph. We
need to mask back or reveal in the areas where motion will occur. Go to your tools palette and select the Brush
tool. Begin brushing over the areas
where motion will be seen in your Cinemagraph.
It will be hard guess where to mask back in the motion since no changes
will occur to the image, only to the layer mask icon. Keep in mind the original trajectory of
motion in your video.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">8. Some Cinemagraphs have a linear set of motion
that needs to be reversed in order to loop successfully. In the example below, I have filmed a short
segment of my pet cat, Connor. The clip
begins with him looking to our right, then up to the camera, and finally to the
left side. If I were to loop this set of
motion as is, there would be a complete jump from the end where he looks to the
left and back to the beginning where he is looking to the right. This jarring set of motion would break the
illusion of the Cinemagraph. I needed to
create a reverse set of motion so that he seamlessly looks from the right, up
to the camera, then back to the left and in that reverse order.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> In this
case, I have worked like before: I clipped and layered my segments of motion so that Connor begins
looking to the right, looks up to the camera, and then back down to the
left. I have already masked the set of
motion and placed these pieces in a folder.
Now I need to create a set of motion in a reverse order.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">To do this I
need to highlight the set of motion that I would like to appear in reverse. In this case, I selected the segment of motion
of Connor looking to the right, up at the camera and back down to the left,
leaving out some of the beginning and ending frames of motion. </span></span></div>

I'm gearing up for my class this week and having fun making cinemagraphs. They're surprisingly easy to create and kinda addicting. I've been also been on <a href="https://vine.co/" target="_blank">Vine</a> lately now that I have an iPhone. (If you're on, add me!) I really like the idea of combining subtle movement to still imagery. It's not exactly video/film but rather gives the images another sense of space and dimension.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/tutorials/how-to-make-a-cool-cinemagraph-image-in-photoshop" target="_blank">I got the tutorial here</a> for the cinemagraph. It was a bit vague in some of the steps but I managed to create these few by playing around. I'll have to put up a new DIY soon based from this post.Erin Mahoneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14337529216065952346noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1158111587221418468.post-11846466577525394142013-08-06T15:28:00.002-04:002013-08-06T15:41:14.782-04:00Summertime (200th post!)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So this happens to be my 200th blog
post! My 100th post was a reflection post as well, so it seems fitting
that I do so again....especially since I've been completely silent in blogging over the past couple of months!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgakMqFFLUaVz0uPFA6JlNaLlZqAqQM1Twtc0cNBRIYOW8eY4t9ci-G6qUM1SwHuTqEuYndv8u9sHZpDyi4N4MGxi2hVEyUazF-Sj-8Zwsu-BT6gr4zNwjy_W8Dqrioj6T09DuxDmnZcqr2/s1600/IMG_3263.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgakMqFFLUaVz0uPFA6JlNaLlZqAqQM1Twtc0cNBRIYOW8eY4t9ci-G6qUM1SwHuTqEuYndv8u9sHZpDyi4N4MGxi2hVEyUazF-Sj-8Zwsu-BT6gr4zNwjy_W8Dqrioj6T09DuxDmnZcqr2/s640/IMG_3263.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
Summers in the Bay Area are odd to say in the very least...at least in the Sunset District. Temperatures have been steadily overcast, foggy and near the low 60s for the entire months of June, July, and now going into August. Often enough, I find myself reaching for an extra sweater and blanket instead of the typical set of sandals and sunscreen. So it does seem surprising to me that two months did indeed fly by with a blink of an eye and that we are now heading into late summer/early fall. Wait! Late summer? EARLY FALL?! I feel robbed!<br />
<br />
But that is how the summers are here and I'm slowly adjusting. (Even after the two years that I have lived here already.) Thankfully, San Francisco usually sees it's warm and sunny "summertime" weather during the late August, September and October months, so I am looking forward to that.<br />
<br />
I suppose this post is more of a recap of what elapsed during this cold summertime. And so much has happened! With the start of my last semester, I quickly got caught up in the double-paced speed of summer classes. I learned to write code in HTML and CSS. (I can make a website!) <a href="http://erinmahoneyphoto.com/module14/" target="_blank">You can view proof of that work here.</a> For my final assignment, I had to make a survival kit of sorts, creating it using only HTML and CSS. Rough, hack-jobbed, and barely viewable in IE, it's up and working. I'm proud of it, at least as much as I can be for my very first website.<br />
<br />

<br />
Along with the web design class, I also took a business for fine artists class. I cringed when the predictable advice for film slides and slide carrousel came up (<i>Yeek!)</i> but other than that, I feel that I met a lot of great artists outside the realm of photography. (Many of the other students were painters and sculptors from the fine art department.)<br />
<br />
With the two classes I was taking, I also began my second semester <i>teaching three classes</i> at the Art Institute. I will just be honest and say this: Lesson plans, curriculum, syllabi might have been finalized an hour or two before the classes typically began each week. Needless to say, I survived those weeks by the skin of my teeth! NEVER again. Ever. On the plus side, my students seemed very receptive and pleased to find my efforts forthcoming and responsive, even with all the madness encompassing me each week. I couldn't ask for better students.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
And if that couldn't be enough (<i>because honestly, is there ever such thing as enough?</i>) I had presented my final thesis at the end of July. I am beyond happy and enthralled to say that I passed with soaring marks. I believe that it was the stress of deadlines and printing that made this task so hard. If I wasn't doing homework or creating lesson plans, I could only be found doing several things that surrounded one main thing: printing, pre-printing, post-printing, and re-printing.<br />
<br />
And now that I have passed, I am proud to say that I have obtained a Masters degree is Fine Arts and I will be having my first solo show this September in San Francisco. I will make a post specifically to the details, dates and times soon!<br />

Even with everything going on, Thom and I managed to find time for ourselves. Thom learned to brew his own beer and we both began canning. I'm pretty much hooked now and love the idea of preserving my own food. Have you seen that skit from Portlandia on pickling? Yeah that's me in a nutshell these days. (View video below) I've made jams, dilly beans, and bread & butter pickles. I got <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Canning-New-Generation-Flavors-Modern/dp/1584798645" target="_blank">this book</a> out from my local library at the beginning of summer and I'm pretty sure I'll have to buy the book since I keep renewing it. There are so many wonderful recipes and all fairly successful too. (At least the ones I've tried.) It does seem that you can can pretty much anything but I'll definitely leave the band-aids, jewel cases, and dead pets out!<br />

Thom turned 25 this past Friday and that meant only two vital things:<br />
<br />
1. Rent a car!<br />
2. Get out of here! <br />
<br />
We took two trips down South this weekend. On Saturday we drove to Santa Cruz and explored the boardwalk. Today we ended up picking berries right outside of Santa Cruz (again!) off of Route 1. Each day was super warm and we equally wore abundant amounts of sunscreen. It was nice to just get out of the city and explore! <br />
<br />
Saturday was just crazy at the boardwalk. Warm weather must bring out the crowds. It was fun to see the beach volley ball courts, the famous wooden roller coaster, and of course, the vintage carnival games. (Milk bottle throw anyone?) We shared a dole whip and later headed towards Mountain View to meet up with a friend and eat awesome Mexican food.<br />
<br />
Today we drove down Route 1, which runs along the California coast. The views were picturesque and it seemed that the weather couldn't make up its mind. At one point, the weather would be 65 degrees with windy fog and then 2 miles later, it would be 80 degrees with the sun shining. This would happen the whole way down and thankfully, our destination happened to end up in a warm area. But regardless of the weather, there were a lot of people at the beaches along the way.<br />
<br />
All the images below were taken with my newest camera/toy: The Fuji INSTAX 210 camera.<br />

<br />
Gum prints in motion! Here are two test prints with three layers of gum each: Yellow, Red, and Blue.<br />
<br />
It is now officially summer semester and I am elbows deep in gum arabic and water trays. After hearing one great recommendation in paper, I've spent this past week and a half testing Arches Platine. I admit that I was a bit hesitant and slow to step up to this seemingly thin and fragile paper. <i>Man</i>, was I wrong! Platine just happens to be the more refined and well behaved cousin of the previous Arches I was using, Arches 140lb hot press watercolor paper. There's no turning back now.<br />
<br />

<br />
I've also streamlined my prep. When I used to come in and work, I would weigh out and mix my pigment and gum per "serving" and for each color I needed to use. Needless to say, it has grown tedious and cumbersome. So I figured out the ratio of pigment and gum that I needed in bulk. I poured it into some empty and clean kombucha bottles and shook! It was an <i>almost</i> instant gratification.<br />

<br />
<br />
I am also currently taking a web design class and it's very empowering for me to be able to post such things like these .gifs for you all to enjoy via my ability to code in HTML. Hopefully by the end of the semester I'll have a fully functioning website up in order. We shall see...</div>

For those that were with us and many that saw online, this past Thursday, May 23rd, 2013 at 11am, Thom and I eloped at the San Francisco City Hall. The day was perfect and such a blur. It's hard for me to describe the complete momentum and there were many emotions felt by all.<br />
<br />
But as much as this post is about giving everyone an inside view of the day and happenings <i>(so many photoz!)</i>, it is also a chance for me to sit down and write about why we made this spontaneous-looking decision. And in truth, it was the most thought-out life decision that I've ever made.<br />
<br />
It is also a decision that I feel I need to explain, since many of our dearest loved ones could not have been there. I know Thom feels the same and we so much wanted <i>everyone</i> to have been there with us. Already, we're so grateful for the love and support that we have received and we can't thank you enough. So again, <i>thank you.</i><br />
<br />
<br />
Let me begin by saying that this past year has made me more aware of time. I've noticed the way time shifts from this immense enigma to something so finite. Time seems to switch easily between the two. Yet when I recall back, it always seems so definitive. It's easy to give into my twenty-something attitude, to feel carefree and look at life like I'm entitled to it. It makes it easy to take advantage of time. It's easy to turn it into an opportunity. <br />
<br />
It's also hard to face time when you mix it with reality. Sometimes, it makes time unfair. It brings out the sad moments and big salty tears. It makes us feel dizzy. It makes me feel like grabbing on to everyone I could ever love and hold them forever just so they won't slip away. <br />
<br />
And it's with those two outlooks on time that Thom and I decided to take advantage of the opportunity and elope at City Hall with parents there acting as witnesses. They truly are the foundation for us. I don't believe that either of us could be the people we are today without their never-ending love and support. Both of our parents had originally planned to fly out to San Francisco under the guise of celebrating my graduation from AAU. They had no idea what we were planning, nor a moment to even think about what we were doing since we told them literally the day before the wedding. <i>(By this point in time, Thom and I had told our siblings, closest family members, and dearest friends. Everyone else was in the dark.)</i><br />
<br />
One of the hardest issues was not having our families and closest friends there, so we want to stress that <u>we are still planning on having the big "real" wedding next June 2014 with everyone there to celebate.</u><br />
<br />
Without being too open in this completely open and tell-all online environment, I will stress again that our decision to elope was based on the importance of time and of family.<br />

That week, my parents flew in on Monday night. Thom's parents weren't to arrive until Wednesday afternoon and again, we planned on getting married Thursday morning. We didn't want to tell one set of parents before the other, so we planned on telling everyone that Wednesday afternoon after Thom's parents got settled in.<br />
<br />
That Wednesday afternoon everyone was gathered around the kitchen and we had all finished a late lunch. While conversation began to settled down and everyone seemed to be content, Thom and I snuck to our bedroom, put a bowtie on Connor and proceeded back into the kitchen. We paraded back to our seats, Connor in arms, announcing that we had something important to say,<br />
<br />
<i>"After much thought and love, we have decided to get married...TOMORROW!"</i><br />
<br />
Words cannot describe the looks witnessed on our parents faces after that fateful sentence was said.<br />
<br />
There were tears, lots of hugs, hearty laughs, mass amounts of bewilderment and a small handful of doubt. Everyone took the news quite well and they all seemed genuinely surprised. (<i>Although my mother would say otherwise, claiming that she </i>knew<i> that this would happen. OOOkay mooooom.)</i><br />
<br />
The rest of that day was spent getting flowers together, going over the next day wedding details and taking in all the exciting news.<br />
<br />

The day of the wedding, like I said before, was a big blur, especially the morning. But I managed to snap a few candids, so I'll do my best to recount it all.<br />

Though we started the day off seeing each other, Thom and I did keep one tradition alive and decided to get-ready separately. We wanted to have the big reveal at City Hall. So much of the time I stayed holed up in the back of the house while Thom got ready in the front. But in the early morning, I woke up first and made a coffee cake for everyone before getting ready.<br />

Kristina was a HUGE part of making the day so awesome and I can't seem to thank her enough for helping me with my hair (<i><u>BIG</u> hair!)</i>, makeup<i> (What's this do again?)</i> and of course, the photography<i> (Thank you, thank you!)</i>. The night before, I pin curled my hair and then she helped me take down the curls, brush them out and set them. I really wanted to style my hair much like a 1940s Lauren Bacall since my dress, shoes and ring were all set for that particular era. Plus, if you throw in SF City Hall, with it's romantic architecture, it looked like I came back from time!<br />

Poor Thom had to get ready all over the house actually, since I took up the back half and refused to move. I think he managed to iron his shirt in the front room and change in the bedroom. I guess he had to add another notch to his belt since he's skinnier than a broom stick. (Which explains the power drill.)<br />

Like I said, I hung out in Kristina's room and fumbled my way through the hair and makeup. We were really cutting it close to the time but everything kind of fell in place.<br />

We planned to take MUNI to and from City Hall but since we were cutting it close to the time, Thom called cabs via Uber. We made him stand on the corner of 19th Ave and Santiago facing traffic, just so I could slip into a cab unseen.<br />

Over the weekend, I started to create two new artist books and I just finished them last night. I printed "The Jacket" series and "Another Me" in tintypes. The tintype series is printed on smaller 8"x8" handmade paper. I bought the paper as a part of a book making kit. It originally came pre-bound as a book block. I ended up just deconstructing the book block and printing each page individually from my printer. The deckle-edge was what caught my eye and I found that it lent itself nicely to the tintype aesthetic. The inner pages are of handmade paper as well. After the prints were made, I hand-bound the book again and cased it utilizing the same wine red bookcloth that I originally made my "Another Me" series in.<br />
<br />
The second artist book was easier to make since I've made a few like it in the past. I bought Canson Etching Rag this time and was very pleased with the printing results. (Last time I bought Hahnemuhle watercolor artist inkjet paper and I found that the ink would smear after some time.) I found some retro-y inner pages and an old burnt orange book cloth for the cover.<br />
<br />

This beauty is going to the Florence Quarterly Gallery at the Southwest University of Visual Arts for their latest exhibit: <i>By Any Means: Alternative Photographic Processes</i>. The exhibit is up from March 15th to April 12th. I was elated to find that they choose four of my tintype pieces and I knew that I would want to present them all together. So, after one really long and bleary-eyed night staying up late trying to find suitable tintype presentations, I finally discovered the possibilities in medal display cases.<br />
<br />
Originally I was thinking of something more traditional, with a Victorian tintype metal frame/holder, but the problem was in quantity. Most antiqued frames hold only one tintype at a time. I checked out some custom frames and the costs were beginning to far out-weigh my ideas...<br />
<br />
So in came Amazon and it's lovely <i>"Recommendations"</i> filter running at the bottom of my searches. (I was also looking at simple shadow box picture frames at the time.) Once I saw the medal display case, I knew that it would work out to compliment the tintypes. And when it came, I couldn't have been more happy. The wood was of high quality and the glass was glass. (Not clear acrylic!) I love the simple latch detail and the wood color is really beautiful, bringing out the warm tones in the tintypes. <i>Perfect!</i><br />
<br />
It took me a bit to think of the simple mounting guide. Besides having the images smack-dab in the middle of the frame, I also wanted them evenly spaced between each other. I finally just realized that the space that I wanted to create could easily be replicated in Photoshop as a cross, printed, cut out and placed into the frame to use as a guide for placing each tintype. <br />
<i> </i><br />
And since I didn't want the tintypes to be adhered permanently, <i></i>I used Velcro to stick them onto the back of the display case. This way, I can easily take in and out each individual tintype.<br />
<br />If you're in Tuscon, check out the exhibit!<br />
<br />

This week I'm heading to SPE for the 50th Anniversary National Conference. I'm pretty excited since last year was so spectacular. I've made my business cards, a couple artist books and have my camera/lenses ready. <i>Chicago here I come!</i>Erin Mahoneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14337529216065952346noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1158111587221418468.post-65494706426626535452013-02-26T17:20:00.001-05:002013-02-26T17:20:26.926-05:00More tintypes, new tintypes.<br />

Here are a few more tintypes that I made this week. These images were taken over my winter break, back in New York. I really love living in California but there are time when I miss the changing of the seasons, especially snow during the winter time. In New York, my family's house sits on a rural plot of land with a small wooded area behind. You'd never know that small critters and deer come in and out of the yard all the time until the snow falls and you can see the tracks. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I love to follow them and see where they lead, occasionally stumbling on a rabbit hole or den. Sometimes the tracks lead nowhere, as if the animal changes its mind and returns back the other way. Mostly, it's like observing miniscule traffic patterns, with one critter going left and another going right, intersecting at some point or another. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In other news, I have sent my re-worked midpoint tintypes to various exhibitions. One got back to me last night and I was accepted into the Alternative Process Exhibition for the Florence Quarter Gallery at Southeast University of Visual Art in Tuscon, AZ. The exhibit goes up from March to April and I am pretty thrilled to be one of ten artists showing alternative work.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Making the tintypes has been a great experience and I managed to finish the last four this week as well. I'm satisfied with these new four prints and I might go back to redo a few others. It really depends on how much tintype developer I can stand smelling before fainting. <i>Man oh man! Is that stuff potent! (Think of the smelling the most extreme and condensed version of ammonia.)</i> I'm seriously thinking of buying a vent. mask...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Anyway, I digress...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now that most of the images, if not all, are done, I am now thinking about tintype presentation. It's really difficult to try and find any source material on contemporary methods of displaying tintypes, especially if it's more than just one tintype to display. Sure, I've seen a lot of antique tintype frames and CDV album pages but they aren't exactly what I'm going for in terms of presentation. The problem with these types of housing is the image display space. Especially with CDV album pages, the image space is really small. 6cmx9cm is the typical size that I see and my tintypes really utilize the 4"x5" space. I'd hate to crop out the awesome melting details. I do however, really like the embossed paper frames that tintypes used to be housed in during Victorian times. I've been thinking of trying that and embossing thick card stock myself and then cutting a mat within the embossed edge. We'll see...keep you posted I guess. ;-)</div>

<br />
Tin Types and my thesis imagery have always had a kind of relationship and connection. When I first saw some of my midpoint work in tintype, I was really surprised how transported they were from my digital prints that I had made for the committee. I have always wanted to express this idea of something non-concrete, something fading and a kind of fleeting moment with the work. I have felt that the topic of my Korean heritage was something that wasn't ever stable but rather fleeting and transient. <br />
<br />
The end result of these images were something of a mistake actually. I was washing some bad plates in the hot water and I noticed the way the imagery was melting off the plate. And I really liked that. <br />
<br />
And I really like these.<br />

<i>For once, I can say, this is mine, you can't take it<br />As long as I know I have love, I can make it<br />For once in my life, I have someone who needs me.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Perhaps it's just the sentimentality of it all, but I am one happy girl<i>, </i>floating on cloud nine.<i> </i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
On February 5th, 2013 Thom proposed to me in Rochester and I of course said yes, yes, yes! I can say, without a doubt, I was completely surprised and taken aback. I was already in New York by myself for about three weeks prior and at the time, I was attending an <i>amazing</i> photographic workshop at the George Eastman House. On the second night, when I was checking into my hotel, I turned around to find Thom waiting in the lobby. (He flew out from San Francisco the night prior!) I could feel his excitement as we both made our way in the hotel to find my room, when all of sudden he proposed right their in the hallway. It was sweet and endearing. I was crying and he was shaking, forgetting the speech that he had prepared in his mind and instead, saying something that was so much more real and truthful. But they were exactly the right words and I didn't hesitate to give him that simple and lifelong answer, <i>yes</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Thom and I had discussed making this commitment in the past and we have even looked at engagement rings over a year ago. But this ring, Thom found and chose on his own. I really couldn't be happier with it. The center opal is fiery and full of life. Every turn of my hand and the color changes. The opal is set around some hand cut diamonds, each individually shaped and procured. And the band is made of rose gold, my favorite kind which speaks of an older time and place. The ring itself is over 100 years old and was probably made in the Victorian era. I love the idea of a piece handed down over time and I think of this ring as one of kind.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I want to thank everyone that has reached out to us and shared our profound happiness and elation. We can't wait to start this new chapter of our lives. And it is all of you, you, and YOU<i>, you know who you are</i>, that makes us want to keep celebrating and sharing our love for a lifetime.</div>
