It's come to this...

bodhilensphotography@gmail.com (Jim Robertson / Bodhilens Photography) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Images from an antiques & collectibles store in which I experienced a sense of sadness from items once full of life or at least representations of life with a touch of dignity. So, it's come to this...

Burnt Transparencies

"Burnt Transparencies" is an alternative film technique inspired by Fine Art Photographer Blue Mitchell. Put simply, 35mm slides are heated with a flame and dipped in water. In these images, ice water was used creating some cracking and strange shapes.

Art Incarcerated

Maximum security prison inmates photographed on a recent assignment to photograph "gang" tattoos. I was not allowed to show their faces. Participation was voluntary and the men were cooperative and pleasant for the most part. But I got a really bad vibe from 100% Honkey, the white supremest. I shot three frames and told him "thank you. I'm done." I wasn't trying to be judgemental, just didn't feel the love.

I captured these images on a recent assignment to a maximum security prison to photograph gang tattoos. Not all tattoos are gang related but still tell a story. Unfortunately, I was prohibited from showing faces.

The Shoe from Peru

This little shoe began its journey in Peru and is now part of an international group project with more to be seen in the coming months.

These are just two samples from my hosting of the Shoe.

Gethsemani

bodhilensphotography@gmail.com (Jim Robertson / Bodhilens Photography) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

On a visit to the Abbey of Gethsemani in Trappist, KY, rosary beads hang in the window of a prayer shack along a meditation trail through the woods, away from the main grounds. I imagine Thomas Merton walking the same path many years ago.
