spike jonze (september 2003) photograph by sean conley bell and howell FD35 canon 50 f/1.4 kodak 400 c-41 black and white film

i met spike jonze at the hot chocolate tour skate demo at 6th avenue in nashville, tennessee in 2003. My friend jim was in the background talking and spike turned around and I shot this. I was too nervous to walk up to spike and ask to take his portrait. Even though looking back now I know he wouldn't have cared. I met marc johnson, kenny anderson and loads of others that night. good times. I will have to dig up those photos and scan them one day. This one is from the archives.

fireflies (2003) photography by sean conley bell and howell FD35 canon 50 f/1.4 kodak 400 film this is a long exposure I did of some fireflies. It was pitch black and I set the camera on my shoe, which is why it is a little blurry. It's been 10 years but I think it was a 3 minute bulb exposure.
