Jeremy Green “The Collaborator” 1/5/2025

The interplay of light and shadow on my patio is just crazy. It continually inspires me to try things. On New Years Day my wife got before my camera once again as a willing subject. She can raise her left eyebrow on command, which I love, and she managed not to sneeze while keeping her eyes open in direct sun. My camera in “Black and White” mode combined with a fast prime lens produces a certain look that appeals to me. I have been watching a lot of war and spy movies, and to me she looks like a WW2 underground collaborator lurking in the shadows.

Jeremy Green “Unexpected” 9/3/23

A recent self-assignment was to shoot a well-known canyon on the Rio Grande by moonlight and make it mine somehow. I was alone there waiting for nightfall when this guy appeared. We made fast friends, and as we talked, the idea of shooting his portrait naturally evolved. It is the process and the unexpected that make it for me.

Jeremy Green “Absent Minded” 5/6/21

This image was made as a test of my camera’s updated firmware. I was also familiarizing myself with the capabilities of a new fast 50mm lens, so I’ve been using it wide open at f:1.2 as much as possible. The firmware was designed to improve facial recognition AF; so this was the challenge I gave to the camera & lens, and everything worked pretty well. In reviewing the images, I found that I had made a self-portrait I liked while I was absent-mindedly working on a mechanical exercise.
