New Work

April Fools

For those of you who didn't see my April 1st website, it's still online and you can see it here.

I can't stop photographing Texas.

It's a problem. I go to New York and I walk down the street and nothing. No inspiration, no photographs. As soon as I step foot on the mother land I start snapping away. I need to get over this mental block. In any case, here are some photos.

You can see more images in the new collection of photographs titled Texas Cont'd on my website: www.alexcrawfordphotography.com

Pratt Open Studios

Unfortunately I haven't been getting much (any) commercial work here in New York, but I have still been shooting! As a matter of fact tomorrow evening, from 5-9, I, along with the rest of the Pratt graduate program, will be showing my work on campus. If you live in New York you should come check it out. Here are a few previews:

On the Interwebs!

Hey guys go look at these photos I took of my beautiful and talented friend Jenilee. She's being featured on The Style Blogger.

A Tribute to Mathew Brady

I'm listening to Katy Perry while Facebook stalking my friends and playing Halo all at the same time. I must have a paper due tomorrow. In fact I do, it's on Stephen Shore. If you're not familiar with his photography you should click the link and be enlightened. The paper is for my Critical History of Photography class. Speaking of the history of photography, do you like Mathew Brady? I do. For my digital class I tried to recreate one of his photographs with my friend Austin as the nineteenth century diplomat. Enjoy.

October

I love October. These photos don't necessarily have anything to do with October, I just thought I'd show you some photos I've been taking. These are from a project I did on perceived colors, thus the slightly strange hues.

Night Life

My "night life" in New York has primarily consisted of meeting up with my friends at bars around Williamsburg and the Lower East Side. I'm normally not a street style photographer, but recently I've had to shoot an exorbitant about of photos for my grad school classes so I've been taking my camera with me everywhere. As a result I've been able to document some of my favorite bars.

The last one's my favorite.

Jazz Age Lawn Party at Governor's Island

New York has been absolutely wonderful so far. One of the most fun and exciting things that I've gotten to do was to attend the Jazz Age Lawn Party on Governor's Island this past Saturday. The music, the clothes, the dancing, all amazing. Hopefully the photos will give you an idea:

The band: Michael Arenella and his Dreamland Orchestra

They play all around New York, including at Apotheke on Tuesday nights.

Once again, the clothing was just amazing.

And so was the dancing.

And the company wasn't too bad either.

See some more photos from the event over at my flickr.

Engagements and the Milky Way

Just before leaving Nashville for good I had the opportunity to take some engagement photos for two of my closest friends, Nathan and Becca. Most of my equipment was already in New York, so the shoot is a bit bare bones, but we had a great time and got some nice photos.

Now I'm in Texas, back on the ranch again. It's a great time of year to see the milky way, and last night was especially clear. I was a able to get a couple nice shots from the front yard.

I'm moving to New York on Friday. I'll be sure to take some photos for you.
