I wandered around the streets of Wilmington, Delaware in 2006, photographing everyday landmarks with an Argus brick and some expired Walgreen's film. It was late winter, I was full of heartbreak from a lost love. I wanted to see the town through eyes that weren’t mine. I wanted to escape through the viewfinder. These are the original scans from ten years ago, when there was no need for large files. I like them as small photos, I have no desire to enlarge them. They remind me of another time.

Last week I worked with an entomology lab to learn a technique called focus stacking. The camera is set up on a rail that that moves in tiny increments, photographing the subject anywhere between 50 and 150 times. You then composite those photos into one crisp image. I took the technique and went a bit further by choosing a subset of the stack to composite, for a less clinical photograph. Here are some of my favorites from the session.
