New Project

Drew is one the volunteers that I photographed whilst I was in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana last month working on my final university project. I photographed the entire project using 4x5, large format camera (Graflex Crown Graphic), which is something I've never done before. I took a huge risk by doing this, since there were no labs in New Orleans that could process film and therefore I had to wait until I got back to UK to use the facilities at our uni. I shot about 100 sheets during the 4 weeks in New Orleans and I've processed about half of them now and so far everything seems to be ok. so far so good...

I asked all of my sitters to write something about themselves into my sketchbook, next to their polaroid and this is what Drew wrote.
