Perk up
Amazing how in a field of thousands of sunflowers only one was upright that night. It must have heard I was coming.
One crutch
I had the urge to shoot and the conditions were decent last night so I used one hand to grab a lawn chair and tripod and a crutch in the other. I heard dogs barking in the distance and it was the first time I’ve ever been shook by those sounds. Being defenseless in the [...]
Iowa is down the street
I shot the sunrise today in this corn field. Ann grew up in Iowa and even she says this area reminds her of Iowa, endless rows of corn for miles. True bliss in every way possible. I went back tonight and this was the first shot I took, I hung around waiting for the moon [...]
Facelift
I’ve been deleting/reorganizing/assessing my work at ajaymalghanphotography. It occurred to me that there was way too much filler and I need to raise my standards on what I present to people. I think self editing is harder than any step in the photographic process: hence why I can’t wait to go to school, the feedback [...]
Going Places
This is a composite of 53 images (20 sec exp.)taken over the span of 2 hours. The visibility was terrible last night so there’s a lack of contrast, regardless its a good start.
SCAD
I met with an admissions rep from SCAD today so most of my time has been spent hastily putting together an essay and portfolio. There’s no way to say this without being cocky, but choosing what to present from my body of work is alot harder than creating it. Funny how two years ago I [...]
Compass
I bought a compass last week in order to tell which way is North. Looks like I missed the bulls eye just by a little tonight. When you’re this good it doesn’t really matter does it?
It only takes one
I took 12 consecutive 5 minute exposures pointing the opposite way from this frame. If you’re standing in the middle of nowhere you have a lot of time to compose a shot; if you pick a clear night there are rarely any variables . I walked in circles for an hour while sizing up this [...]
Alberta Cross+BRMC
I got to see these two fine bands the other night courtesy of Austin, my friend who also happens to have the deepest pocket and fiercest beard since John Henry Bonham. I love everything about Albert Cross and I’m partial because I love Austin’s playing and I love their work ethic. They opened for Oasis [...]
Cherry Blossoms
I wouldn’t dare check out the blossoms during the day, going through the crowd is like going to the mall during X-mas. I’ve come to the conclusion that 1:00am is my favorite hour of the day….or night.
4-1-10
I think I wrote something about me not taking any good shots for a month or so, guess I was wrong. My photography is getting a shot in the arm since I’m not allowed to play drums for another 2 months.
Page 32
This shot is page 32 of The Long Way Home. I figured since I won’t be shooting anything worth mentioning for another 2 months or so, I would write about some of my previous work. I took this shot at a park which has a view of the airports of SF, Oakland, San Jose, Sacramento. [...]
San Francisco
For some reason this shot popped into my head today so I worked on it. Must have come from the part of my brain that’s missing California.
Marlinton, WV
I spent the weekend at my friends cabin in the mountains of WV. Thanks for taking me Vince, it was the most relaxing weekend I have had in ages. These are two shots from his backyard, I think I may have bumped the tripod at some point during the 10 minute exposure. The red/orange one [...]
