In college I studied photography. Loading film, shooting, developing the film and using a darkroom to create your own prints is a lost art. While I lament the “good ol’ days” wherein you could quietly poison yourself with chemicals, the ability to shoot hundreds of photos without consequence is better in a lot of ways. I digress.<\/p>\n
I started to experiment in the fall with long exposure photography. using small plastic balls with a single LED and a watch battery. Worked well for what I was trying to accomplish but I knew I’d want to do more.<\/p>\n
This is when I hit upon the idea of capturing a movement by an expert in whatever field I was shooting. I began reaching \u00a0out to friends that I knew were good at something. My first thoughts were martial arts and dance. I thought I would make an interesting to capture a full movement by someone who knew what they were doing.\u00a0All my previous captures were of me waving my hands around.<\/p>\n
