Orchid

Black & white film photography on fiber paper.
Orchids are my absolute favorite flower. I have one in my bedroom at home, and I even have one in my dorm. I think they have a sense of tranquility which is very relaxing to come home to everyday.

Newark, Delaware.
Main Street.

I found this in an alley on Main Street when I was shooting for my design class. I thought it was interesting in a solitary kind of way. And it reminded me of my bike that got stolen. :(

Solipsism

Long Branch, New Jersey.
Seven Presidents Oceanfront Park.

This skate park is right on the beach and is an awesome spot to get action shots. One of the best parts of the park is the huge concrete fishbowl in the ground. And in case my extremely technical term "fishbowl" is not understandable, it's basically an empty amoeba shaped swimming pool which, if used correctly, can give photos an authentic Dogtown/ Z-Boys tone.

J.J.

Avon By The Sea, New Jersey, my hometown.
Woodland Ave.

Film photography, darkroom processed. Shot at an 800 ISO, which explains the graininess. Although, the noise gives it an aged appeal, making it seem like it's a surf shot from the 70's.
