All these balloon photos are just sketches - place markers if you will, for a more finalized version to come in the future.

An attempt at creating a super low-key portrait. It's probably not nearly as detailed online as it appears on my screen. A rough sketch at best, but I'll be exploring this aesthetic more in the future.

Image Theory Sketch

This is a digital sketch of a new project I'm envisioning. It will combine both analog and digital photography. More to come after I develop the film.

Mural - First Draft

So apparently Blogger scales images from there native resolution. Ill email this one to ya.

Living in the desert it seldom rains.

New Season

Wow, summer is over and RedTown hasn't posted any new work in months. Lots of new projects on the cusp of beginning and they will be very time consuming, but I believe it will be some of RedTown's finest work so stay tuned for that in the months ahead. Final preparations, and what not are being made and soon the beautiful photography will begin to flow again. But to dust off the 'ol cameras and get into a little portrait photography, I asked my friend George to model for me and see what we can do with one light and a very lonely building. The session was shot on film, so once negs are processed and scanned I'll have some real footage to present, but for now, here are a few digital test photos for your enjoyment. Thanks George for being a sport.

Promos!

So I finally got RedTown's official first promos from PsPrint.com the other day. 1000 6x9" promos for a pretty sweet price of I think ~ $175. PsPrint has served me well in the past and I was happy to use them again this time. I will make a minor gripe here though and say that many of the cards have some rough edges and are a little banged around from stacking. I'm not sure how you could avoid this with any company though so really, there's not much to complain about here. Good company with fair prices and quick turn around. Print quality is good - not great. I've done some work with Modern Postcard in the past and they still set the bar in my opinion, but they're also about 5 times more money. Watch yourself when you're submitting files to any online print company. I was very careful to follow every single one of PsPrint's procedures, and yet, I'm still finding that the text isn't super crisp and has some edging that never appeared in my original artwork. Oh well, c'est la vie. I'm still pretty stoked to have them. It's time to hit the streets, knock on coffee shops and bookstores and I don't know, anyplace that is hip enough to let me post stuff for free. Time to drum up some business!!

File Magazine

RedTown has caught the eye of the online photo site File Magazine. This is a great little site whose whole aim in life is to collect amazingly cool photos from talented photographers and present it in a simple online gallery. Check out the Cube while you still can. We're pretty happy to be included.

Per File Magazine: "The purpose of FILE is to collect and display photographs that treat subjects in unexpected ways. Alternate takes, odd angles, unconventional observations - these are some of the ways photographs collected in FILE reinterpret traditional genres."
