Still working with the Polaroid. I am taking my inspiration from some super 8 that I shot last winter. I am beginning to realize that one of the reasons that I love Minnesota so much is the bleakness of the winter months. To most the winter months here are somewhat depressing, but I take some comfort from the white and silence that accompanies the massive snowfalls that happen from time to time. And I am sad that I will have to wait until next year to continue with this work.]]> http://www.evanbadenphotography.com/pblog/index.php?entry=entry080319-194751 2008-03-20T00:00:00Z 2008-03-20T00:00:00Z

A few months ago I was given an old Polaroid Land Camera. It was given to me by my high school photography teacher. He wasn't sure if it worked or what type of film it took. When I got it home I took a closer look. It looked to me like it took the same polaroid film as my Mamiya. So I popped one in and it worked. I am saddened to hear about polaroids demise, but I will continue to shoot while it is still available and when it is all gone, I'll have to switch to Fuji. These are from the first little project I tried with it. f/90.]]> http://www.evanbadenphotography.com/pblog/index.php?entry=entry080312-194033 2008-03-13T00:00:00Z 2008-03-13T00:00:00Z

Well, the show at the MMAA went very well. I had a great time at the opening and a lot of people came out to see the show. I was also delighted to find out that I get to keep my portion of the banner that is hanging on the side of the building. I have no clue as to where I am going to store it, or even how I am going to transport it from the Museum.

If you haven't seen the show yet, it's worth it.]]> http://www.evanbadenphotography.com/pblog/index.php?entry=entry080302-183445 2008-03-03T00:00:00Z 2008-03-03T00:00:00Z

More new fashion. I haven't added this stuff to the website yet, so I thought I would put it up here.

I have a show opening March 1st at the MMAA in St. Paul. I am not sure which images will be shown yet but hope to know within the week. I will also be participating as a judge in the poetry slam before the opening, which is what the image above is for.]]> http://www.evanbadenphotography.com/pblog/index.php?entry=entry080108-152724 2008-01-08T00:00:00Z 2008-01-08T00:00:00Z

New fashion done a couple weeks ago. ]]> http://www.evanbadenphotography.com/pblog/index.php?entry=entry071227-083634 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z

I was sent to shoot Ralph Burnet, owner of the Chambers art hotel in Minneapolis, for an upcoming issue of TwinCities Luxury and Fashion. While I was looking for a place to shoot I wandered into the Gallery. There was an installation in progress. Here was the result of my prowling. The portrait of Ralph was nice, but I find this shot so much more interesting.]]> http://www.evanbadenphotography.com/pblog/index.php?entry=entry071103-101054 2007-11-03T00:00:00Z 2007-11-03T00:00:00Z

Well, it's been a while since I have updated this. I was just named as a finalist for the Jerome Fellowship and I am preparing for a show at the Minnesota Museum of American Art. I have also been thinking about my next series for a few months and have begun to make skectch images. Here is the first. I am staying with my technology theme but this time am venturing into what happens to the group dynamic when technology is introduced. I want to deal with both groups of people and people in public places with others. I have 30 shots lined up, and as soon as I can afford a 4 x 5 camera, which I hope will be before December, I will begin shooting. I have to say that this the most excited I've been about shooting in a while.

Like I said, this is a sketch and things will be different in the final image, so if there is any critique, I would love to hear it.]]> http://www.evanbadenphotography.com/pblog/index.php?entry=entry071031-072049 2007-10-31T00:00:00Z 2007-10-31T00:00:00Z

I would like to thank Alicia who braved the moderately chilly water for a good amount of time while I shot this last night. I also have to say thanks to Judd for letting me borrow his iPhone. If I don't thank him I'll never hear the end of it. It still needs some work but let me know what you think.]]> http://www.evanbadenphotography.com/pblog/index.php?entry=entry070831-110036 2007-08-31T00:00:00Z 2007-08-31T00:00:00Z
