Saints win. Colts lose. Who cares. Self portraits are fun.

Post snow series - Two pups looking for a permanent home
February 8, 2010 – 12:01 am
Walking down Thompson St. Andrew and I ran in to Yona. She’s currently fostering these two little rascals. They really don’t have names since they haven’t been placed in a permanent home. They’re some mix of a terrier slash shepherd slash boxer, and they seem like they weigh about 40 LBS and I’m pretty sure you should take them both. They’re up for adoption and if you’re interested please let me know by getting in touch. Send me an email to SETH SHIMKONIS AT GMAIL DOT COM (written like that to avoid receiving spam).
It snowed. These are the people I met.

I’ll be posting some shots from people I met while roaming around Fishtown after our 26″ dumping of snow. I met people looking for permanent homes for dogs they’re fostering, people tearing around on quads, and a few others too. Here’s a starter, a pretty dusk shot.
The power of the Light

Keeping up with photos from the neighborhood and just shooting because it’s fun. I made this photograph on my iphone months back and I’ve been trying to get a decent shot with a better camera. Mission accomplished.
Industrial grit - the finale
February 1, 2010 – 12:01 am
What should I post next? These industrial photographs were all taken with in one hour. To get five good photographs in one hour and create a series isn’t easy. Especially, if they are all in the same room. These photographs were an exception, but it’s a good format for finding new things to shoot and creating some mini series’. Anyone have any ideas?

Old signs are great subjects. Just make sure you get the permission from your electrician.
Industrial grit - hump day for this series

Symmetry is another element of composition which I love. I’d also add that I’m just a huge fan of great composition. This one isn’t perfectly symmetric but really what is?
Industrial grit - day two

Did I also mention I really like making photographs that are hard to tell what the subject is? I think they’re my favorite way to shoot artistic photographs. Edward Weston is really well known for his photographs of vegetables, or most notably his pepper photograph which looks nothing like a pepper.
Four easy steps on how to get a wife
January 28, 2010 – 2:09 pm
Step one: If you’re a man of the hunting gathering type, this should be self explanatory. If not, follow the photograph steps below.
Step two: Show her a bit of love. While you can’t see the love inside the box pictured below, you know you can feel it.
Step three: Wait for the right time pop the question and make her yours.
Step four: Get married and celebrate that love! (hint: I like photographing weddings)
Ok, so maybe it’s not that easy. Trust me. I know. But this sequence of photos showing off a different “ring shot” is a small example of the way I like to shoot weddings. Fun and creative. And remember I can’t do it without you. So get married.

For the next five days there will be one industrial black and white photograph each day. I’m a big fan of geometric elements, as well as a big fan of old run down industrial looking things. Starting today off with this one. all were shot in one room with in one hour. The following five days are the five best.
