Hey, Hot Shot! Entries: Christina Creutz
Che is Watching by HHS! entrant Christina Creutz
There are oh so many ways for us to produce photographs these days. There’s film and digital. There’s the digital darkroom and the traditional darkroom. An array of options for our processes—cameras, lenses, films, memory cards, hard drives, computers, monitors, enlargers, scanners, printers, papers, tripods, lights, labs, meters—I won’t go on, but we all know the list is endless. It’s an exciting time to be a photographer, especially one who has an ongoing romance with the equipment. Everyday there are new technologies and gadgets for our consumption, things to feed our photo fetishes.
We get a little of everything with Hey, Hot Shot!, it’s a nice little slice through the medium. I cannot offer you a website for aspiring Hot Shot Christina Creutz, but I can tell you that she uses a Mac, a Hasselblad, and still works in a traditional darkroom. As she describes her work:
My photographs tend to be described as chronicles of the decay of decadence. I shoot in places that once were splendid, but through neglect, are in disrepair. While my images generally do not have people in them, I dont find them to be lonely. To the contrary, I think that the people who have existed in these spaces are felt quite strongly in the images.
Less than 48 hours now remain to get your entries in! Whether you use an Arca Swiss or a Kodak EasyShare, the clock ticks just the same.
