Taken with my ugly but oh so beautiful yellow Holga. Portra 800 film.
Do yourself a favor and buy this $27 dollar plastic camera and have some fun.

I'm only half joking about this blog post title.
The other day Aaron Snow and I were doing a shoot for our new intern, Katelyn. On the way to one of our locations we ran into my brother, Thomas, who was on his way to his new job. He recently got hired with EMSA, our local ambulance company here in Oklahoma City. Since we had our cameras with us I snagged a few shots of him before he started his shift.
Thomas, Cara and I all lived together last year for a while. Throughout that time I watched my brother take severe interest in working for EMSA. I've never seen him work so hard for something in his life. He dominated. He's now driving an ambulance around Oklahoma City four nights a week and I couldn't be more proud of him! Mom, if you're reading this, playing Cruisin USA all night on the Nintendo 64 growing up paid off! It's actually saving lives :) If only I had that argument formulated then.
My brother inspires me. If you don't know him you should!
The last two images are some of my favorites. They're of Thomas and I doing what we love and what we've dreamed of doing for so long. We couldn't be happier.
Mucho gracias to Aaron Snow for snagging the last two photos of us!
I love the pager. It completes the outfit. RESPECT YOUR ROOTS!

One of my goals this winter was to create an online presence for many of my images that sit around on my computer. It's tragic, really, that these images have been tucked away for so long. These images didn't fit categorically with my current website so I made another one! I used one of Into The Dark Room's Dreamsites (they're the same people that built this custom blog you're looking at) and it's perfect for what I needed! I'm stoked with how everything turned out and am even more excited to share some of the chapters of my life with everyone. I will be continually adding images to CARL//WAS//HERE so check back every now and then!
I've been more and more convinced that art is something that needs to be expressed, shared and experienced. With that being said, I hope you enjoy these random scenes from my life.
Never stop doing what you love. Enjoy life.

This.rocks.my.brain. Love it. I love how simple it is for people to get prints too... Very cool idea and great interactive site. Next time you're here, let's go blow a bunch of 120 film through the Holgas!
