cover video: Paranoid Park

shawn records proposed this idea of a "covering" photographs, similar to a way musicians cover a song. and i called out to my inner self and said, "why not do the same but with video?", so i decided to do a "cover" of an montage in 'paranoid park'. it's basically descending slow frames of Alex walking intercut with super 8 skateboard footage.

while still wanting to retain my own voice; here's the result of a very fun experiment. oh, and props to olivia for filming some of the footage. and at this time, i wish all the best to you and your creations.

"Photography, for me, is an act of paying attention, responding, and manipulating context. Ultimately, I photograph small things that hint at larger ideas - moments, objects, relationships, gestures; the details of everyday living that, when put into another context, take on weight." -- Shawn Records
