[image 1 "lambs of god found object photograph", the rest are unfortunately from weheart it without proper credit] these are the inspiration photos i was talking about yesterday... basically i want to do a "cabinet of curiosities" project photographing each individual item so that people can buy prints and create their own cabinet of curiosities in their home without having to collect the items. instead they can get one of these frames with multiple openings for photos: i written out 3 pages…

I came across mixed media/found object artist, James Michael Starr before the holidays and have been thinking about his work ever since. His statement: I find the aged and battered objects commonly employed in assemblage and collage to be both beautiful and moving, but am weary of their tendency, as art mediums, to take themselves so seriously. I hope to tweak that somberness and agenda, and make works that are more accessible, by evoking frivolous imagery from our collective consciousness…

High Contrast Grunge Photography takes the look of traditional Kodalith darkroom prints to the digital era (or for those of you still shooting with film, and developing in a darkroom, keeps Kodalith alive).
