Throwback Sesh: Dan Blakeslee “Sleepwalking”

I think its an important exercise as any type of an artist or creator to revisit and critique old work. Back in May of 2014  I had just started making images. I mean, I had a Polaroid and a couple crappy film cameras growing up, but the first time I purchased a camera with the strict intent of creating images of artists and musicians or having a general direction of what I wanted to focus on. It was, to say the least, a learning experience and I tried to shoot as much as possible.

I then realized the Nikon I purchased had the ability to shoot high res video as well I mentioned it to my friend Dan Blakeslee and we hung out for an afternoon at his apartment in Somerville and came up with this.

Revisit some of your own old stuff today. Its certainly an exercise in humility…and may make you appreciate the steps you have made in your craft.
