“The Kiss of Life”
In July 1967 in Jacksonville, FL, photographer Rocco Morabito was driving along West 26th Street, headed to an assignment. He passed a couple of linemen with the Jacksonville Electric Authority completing routine maintenance on a utility pole. On his way back from his assignment, it crossed his mind to stop and try to get some photos of the workers. As he pulled up where the men were working, he heard screams. Something terrible had happened.

UNDER THE RED LIGHT – THE LOST ART OF THE DARKROOM
It’s 3AM and the night is now gently quiet. There are no conversations to be had, nor phone calls asking for answers. Just the metronomic countdown of the enlarger’s timer and the muffled sound of the train yard, just a block away and beyond the cement wall which borders the art colony in which I live. It is my respite from a loud world with even louder demands and though all these stresses will be contended with – They won’t be tonight. Tonight, the coffee is fresh and I will likely work till dawn.

Putting Away My Photography
Just the thought of snapping an exceptional photograph at the click of the shutter button while holding the firm leatherette grip at the same time and holding the barrel of the lens attached with my left give me nothin’ but pure joy, the time stops for a moment as my mind that normally, habitually acts like a “rottweiler” starts to calm down escaping to its solitary cave while I’m left to just soak in the present moment.

Happy Homesteading
I first became fascinated in old houses, barns, and shacks when I was in my twenties. Living in Alberta at the time, we would see many old homesteads just off the highways and side roads. We always stopped to take a peak, unless there was no trespassing signs of course. Most had been abandoned.

Snapshots Left Behind
There’s nothing sadder than an old photo left behind. Vintage snapshots are all over flea markets and antique stores. Growing up, my parents threw all our family photos in a bottom drawer in our kitchen and I would spend evenings flipping through pictures of my parents before I knew them, as children and young adults, smiling, glaring, goofing off with people I didn’t know. There was magic in these moments captured on paper-- the realization that two people I knew so deeply had once lived lives I would never be privy to. Eventually, the drawer of photos in the kitchen became a box of pictures in the attic-- presumably my father was annoyed with me constantly being underfoot when he was trying to make spaghetti. Soon, no new pictures were being added to the box. I was born in the mid 90s, so moments of my childhood were captured and placed in photo albums and in picture frames. But my brother, born in 2001, had a life captured on digital cameras and later iPhones. Eventually, I forgot about the box and the magic of photographs.

Living Making History
Growing up as a kid, I always saw bigger cities being displayed in movies and wondered why movie writers didn’t find my city interesting enough for a serious plot to happen. I thought maybe where I was from wasn’t as cool as New York or California since giant fictional creatures like Godzilla didn’t choose Tulsa to wreak havoc on. I know now that this logic was silly, but as a kid representation meant a lot to me. One day, I was sharing my concern of my boring city to my grandmother and when she heard my concerns, she asked me why I felt that way I did and when I told her it because we weren’t a movie famous city. She told me after she finished her client (she was a hair beautician) she would tell me a story I would never forget. One day, we would be movie famous, it would only take the world to do some changing before that happened and to my surprise she was right, I never forgot the story, and I didn’t find my city boring from then on.

My Venture Into Polaroid Photography
I originally got a photography camera in order to have a good quality camera for cosplay photos, but I also wanted to go beyond using photography for cosplay and see what unique photos I could do. In 2011, I started testing out my photos before cosplay conventions to test the settings. I was impressed with the outcome of the photos, it had a great quality, but I wasn't satisfied with it. I didn't like the way I captured this moment I saw with my eyes. I wanted to take a photography class to learn how I could improve myself.

My Ten Dollar Camera. Top Story - September 2019.
Taking photographs has been a hobby of mine for over a decade and I am only 18. Clearly photography has evolved from a hobby of mine to a passion in that time. I began shooting with anything that had a camera whether that be my parents' cell phones or even my Nintendo DS. I moved onto taking photos with my iPod Touch when I wanted an upgrade. Within a few years I had a Sony Cybershot because it was my chance to take photographs on a device meant to take photographs. When I saved enough money, I then purchased a Nikon D3200 and thought I was a professional all of a sudden. Around this time I was also beginning to take photos on my first iPhone. By the time I was 16 my Nikon broke where the lens attaches to the body, so I had to save for and purchase a new one. This time I switched to Canon, and purchased a Rebel T6i. Since then, I have not purchased another digital camera, unless you consider iPhone upgrades.
