Macro

Film Jar

Copyright 2009 Jeff Ball

This jar of film has lived in my refrigerator for years. Earlier this year, I decided  to produce a body of work based on what’s on the film. What is on the film? I have no idea. I look forward to exploring the mysteries that it holds.

As we move more and more towards a completely digital world.  I hope to do my part in keeping film alive.

Green Dreams

As Remy and I started exploring the Pacific Northwest, one of the first things we noticed was how green it was. The trees were growing a wide variety of moss all over the surfaces. This shot was taken as we took a drive around the surrounding Portland area. It’s a whole new macro world for me to explore. Expect more shots to come!

I am currently working on a series of “Ice Painting” pieces where I use ice and acrylic paint as my substrate and medium and take macro shots of the results. I love these because it’s a way of using both my passions. It’s painting and photography. In February I will be showing these pieces at the Namaste Gallery.

This was taken in a tractor bone yard in Colorado. My good friend and talented artist,  Anna Montgomery and I were invited to shoot photographs at this amazing yard of vintage farm equipment. We explored together and separately as we sought little visual treasures. The repeating patterns made this a prime target for my camera.

This shot was taken in a tractor graveyard in Franktown, Colorado. My good friend and talented artist,  Anna Montgomery and I were invited to shoot photographs at this amazing yard of vintage farm equipment. We explored together and separately as we sought little visual treasures.  I was attracted to the color and texture of this great gauge.

I am always attracted to the industrial aesthetic. When I saw this gear on the ground behind The Other Side Arts, I knew It would become a favorite. The deep shadows give this piece a sharp and crisp feeling and remind me of playing around the railroad tracks as a kid.
