Could I have been subconsciously following someone? She intrigued me with the cigarette and then totally stole my heart with the coffee cup, but then she went cold, and in my mind we’d harsh quarrels and an ugly split. By the time I made it to my subway stop two blocks away it was over,

Only a few copies left of Savage, Dixie, Slaughterville

admin — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 14:48:01 +0000

I wanted to give an update that there are only about 30 or so copies left of Savage, Dixie, Slaughterville, so if you were thinking of getting one now’s a fine time. Email me directly to get a copy, or Dashwood Books and Printed Matter in NYC are carrying them if you prefer to buy one in person.

Schilling stuff like this isn’t my preferred schtick, but I would love to get the last stack of these out and into people’s homes, so send me an email and I’ll get you one.

nyc journal #…where’d I leave off?

I don’t really show this sort of candid street stuff much anymore. I still shoot it, but only for myself – it’ll maybe get a shitty contact sheet scan and then stuffed in a box. The other night I flipped through some of the contacts from this summer and cropped out ones I thought were cool.

“My Prospect”

I shared some of these previously when I first began them; they’re photographs from walks this winter in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. I liked them enough that I’m doing a small final series called “My Prospect.”

“Be Afraid, My Friend” presentation and book

admin — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 19:28:40 +0000

Be Afraid, My Friend is a video and book I shot this past winter on NYC streets using a Kodak Zi8 pocket video camera.

Video: Be Afraid, My Friend, 2011, 3:38 min, by Graeme Mitchell with music by Julian Tulip’s Licorice.

The book is 71 pages, 7.4×9.5,” softcover, perfect bound, $24. It doesn’t correspond exactly w/ the video, but it is close.

This particular update is overdue, as my last site was long in the tooth.

Creative direction and design by Mr. Diggles.

“I have sort of given up on what the best practice would be for presenting photos online. Every photographer looses with the web. It is a terrible way of showing work. Therefore I like this direction because it is at least somewhat fun.” -Mr. Diggles

“Unreal City,” Softcover Edition

admin — Sat, 09 Apr 2011 22:58:10 +0000

There were 4 portfolios in the original edition of this. They were prints hand mounted in leather albums. I still think they are beautiful as artifacts, but they were stupidly expensive and time consuming to make. Moreover, only 4 people have them, and I’m pretty sure they’re not being treated as coffee table books. I wanted a simple small copy for myself to have around, and also since doing the Occurrences newsprint edition, I had a number of people ask if I’d ever do an inexpensive version of Unreal City, so I decided to revisit it and do this.

It’s 8.5×8.5,” 71 pages, 49 pictures, soft cover, perfect bound.

The print-on-demand press quality leaves a lot to be desired, but right now utilizing any tangible medium is good I think. Plus, I think that populace mainstream sort of lo-fi medium is cool, makes the work more eye-level and less precious. Needless to say these aren’t to be shilled as rare or valuable – they’re intended to be enjoyed and shared.
