The obsession, the truth behind the image, the very real need to record, but also the need to deliberately construct and record and present back as reality. I am trying to understand it more, really get at what is happening, what am I trying to convince myself of, where is the truth and what is the construct- and if what I shoot is for others then who are they, why am I putting these things out there? I wont go into why right now but when I’ve got somewhere I will probably post an update- but the sleepless nights and confusion kinda leads me to this image, it does everything for me, possibly even contains the answers to all those questions but the more I stare at it the more I cant get any closer to this truth. If in fact, there is no truth in this image, then what purpose is it serving surely not just its potential to become just another ‘beautiful thing’. The only thing I know for sure, is that this Polaroid, the one on my desk, not how you see it in front of you, actually existed in, and became a part of this room, its not what I saw through the camera, and its not what you would have seen if you were stood right behind me, but its existence has taken on this weight of truth now. It’s also just about one of my most close to ‘making me give up cos I don’t need to shoot anymore’ instances ever. Of course I wont, but this image right here, would almost persuade me….. <br /> <br /> Oh and you should really listen to some Iggy Pop whilst trying to type, it really really throws yr thought process out the fucking window.</p> DarkDaze Photography http://www.flickr.com/people/darkdaze/ tag:flickr.com,2005:/photo/4081025506 2009-11-06T17:42:56Z 2009-11-06T17:42:56Z 2009-11-06T17:27:28-08:00 <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/darkdaze/">DarkDaze Photography</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/darkdaze/4081025506/" title="Your Life is my Vanity Project- 6 weeks later"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3592/4081025506_5298729b0b_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Your Life is my Vanity Project- 6 weeks later" /></a></p> <p>Week 7.<br /> Ilford 3200, rated 1600 Bronica etrsi.<br /> <br /> I am both incredibly witty and erudite.... apparently....<br /> <br /> <a href="http://blog.darkdaze.org/your-life-is-my-vanity-project-6-weeks-later" rel="nofollow">blog.darkdaze.org/your-life-is-my-vanity-project-6-weeks-...</a></p> DarkDaze Photography http://www.flickr.com/people/darkdaze/ tag:flickr.com,2005:/photo/4079725247 2009-11-06T13:20:50Z 2009-11-06T13:20:50Z 2009-11-06T13:13:38-08:00 <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/darkdaze/">DarkDaze Photography</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/darkdaze/4079725247/" title="Georgie Hobday- Vanity Project- 6 weeks later"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3519/4079725247_d7b9cea945_m.jpg" width="240" height="236" alt="Georgie Hobday- Vanity Project- 6 weeks later" /></a></p> <p>Week 7.<br /> <br /> Polaroid. <br /> <br /> Week 6 went straight to the website... go here <br /> <br /> <a href="http://darkdazephotography.com/vanity-project" rel="nofollow">darkdazephotography.com/vanity-project</a> <br /> <br /> A sudden change brought on by outside images.... a good thing.</p> DarkDaze Photography http://www.flickr.com/people/darkdaze/ tag:flickr.com,2005:/photo/4064656381 2009-11-01T18:59:44Z 2009-11-01T18:59:44Z 2009-11-01T18:56:59-08:00 <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/darkdaze/">DarkDaze Photography</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/darkdaze/4064656381/" title="The Last Great American Polaroid"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2593/4064656381_3ea1644cd7_m.jpg" width="198" height="240" alt="The Last Great American Polaroid" /></a></p> <p>A few years ago, a tornado hit this place.

The band however, after a little initial reservation turned out to be brilliant to work with. I think after they saw me, Matt and Tash (in her new dress) wade out waist deep into the sea, fully clothed, with cameras, reflectors (which sadly got lost at sea), matt with a battery pack strapped to his back and holding a Bowens light above his head, that we were fair game too, and put everything we can into our shots. <br /> <br /> Plus i bloody hate Pocket wizards, no matter what people tell you they can be a piece of shit non-operating plastic when you most need them. A sync lead into a polaroid 340 was the only way we could work this. The sea looks tranquil- believe me it wasnt. Sure it aint no Pipeline, but when your crouching down to level the horizon and water goes over your vintage 25 yr old camera and your assistant is squealing (tash not matt) behind you, you may find yr framing goes a bit off. Mine did.<br /> <br /> oh and when you peel apart your pack film polaroids, you then realise you have a 100m or so of sea to wade thru each time to give it to someone on the beach to keep dry- tash dropped an absolute keeper into the briney... i may, as odisie maintains be suffering from some kind of mental retardation. <br /> <br /> Anyways this is This City, dead good blokes, thanks to Aaron, (centre) for rallying most of them to get behind the idea....<br /> <br /> book me <a href="http://garage-studios.co.uk/photography/promo" rel="nofollow">garage-studios.co.uk/photography/promo</a> I'm crazy expensive but you get to laugh at my idiocy for free...</p> DarkDaze Photography http://www.flickr.com/people/darkdaze/ tag:flickr.com,2005:/photo/3928525811 2009-09-17T15:55:40Z 2009-09-17T15:55:40Z 2009-09-17T16:44:01-08:00 <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/darkdaze/">DarkDaze Photography</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/darkdaze/3928525811/" title="From a motel somewhere in West Virginia- beginning of a vanity project"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2441/3928525811_9e8fb372cb_m.jpg" width="198" height="240" alt="From a motel somewhere in West Virginia- beginning of a vanity project" /></a></p> <p>Sally Reynolds, in a moment of quiet reflection (very rare with this lady) in a non-chain motel somewhere deep in West Virginia or Gods country as I will always now know it.<br /> A beautiful mix of very beautiful country, timeless people, short order cooks that chain smoke whilst cooking ham and eggs and more Baptist chapels than you can shake a cloven foot at.... Too many portrait opportunites, but this was a trip to relax the button finger and reawaken the senses... I have so many images to filter through my hazy brain, hopefully something good will out.<br /> <br /> Oh and I had to leave Sally Reynolds in New York city, she's gone to strike out on her own for a bit, so check in on her <a href="http://sallyreynolds.tumblr.com/" rel="nofollow">tumblr</a> to see how shes doing.....<br /> <br /> <br /> its not as bad a shock to be back as an arrival in England normally is, sunny, warmish and a full class of students for the Creative Photography course tonight. But an 8hr drive, 7hr flight and 5am arrival time at Gatwick aint gonna help my already rambling first week introduction- so if your booked on please excuse the jet-lag induced pauses...<br /> <br /> A lot of big shoots in the next 2 weeks ahead, so this is the calm....<br /> <br /> if you mailed me I am workng thru them all tomo so hold tight. <br /> <br /> And God Bless Virginia... <br /> <br /> 30 polaroid (600) left to go....</p> DarkDaze Photography http://www.flickr.com/people/darkdaze/ tag:flickr.com,2005:/photo/3887617994 2009-09-04T16:40:25Z 2009-09-04T16:40:25Z 2009-09-04T13:41:15-08:00 <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/darkdaze/">DarkDaze Photography</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/darkdaze/3887617994/" title="Tru Thoughts:The Odd Couple"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2575/3887617994_ac8bb9874a_m.jpg" width="169" height="240" alt="Tru Thoughts:The Odd Couple" /></a></p> <p>Its the Tru Thoughts tenth anniversary and we were asked to shoot them for the next Source issue, so for 2 hours today we ruined Emmas kitchen and threw flour at Paul and Robb who founded the label.<br /> <br /> Its hard to say who did what so Art Direction, lighting Styling Matt/DD/Tash, but I pushed the button whilst matt and tash were flour wranglers...thats right kids we can wrangle anything....<br /> <br /> BoomTing. This is based on the Odd Couple concept, to make a dope picture you gotta break a few eggs. <br /> <br /> Something for the weeked, now I gotta do another shoot so leave me alone for a bit....</p> DarkDaze Photography http://www.flickr.com/people/darkdaze/
