Heart it Races

Tim Walker

I came across this video of Tim Walker and couldn't help posting it! Walker is my favorite photographer at the moment.  He goes to extremes lengths to get the shot he’s looking for, whether that means putting pastel colored pigment powder on cats or arranging a hundred cakes around a man in a canopy bed. The style of his work reminds me of the circus, but with the same amount of class and planning that goes into a red carpet event. He manages to make the insane look interesting and glamorous. Everything in his images looks very intentional, from the lighting to the expression of the subject to the oddly placed oboe lying on the floor in the corner. It would be the biggest honor to meet or even intern with Tim Walker some day... but until then I'll just have to keep cyber stalking him for inspiration...

In the Beginning

Here's a snippet of the installation I created with my friend, Sarah Sherman, for our media class at school. We wanted to show creation from God's point of view. After hanging over a thousand streamers and clouds, lighting incense, setting up hidden fans and projectors through out the room and creating a looped video we wanted to show the excitement God must have felt when he created our world. We wanted the viewer to realize how short life is and how every second is a small gift that will ultimately construct who we are and what we were living for!
