Having waited so long to write the text to accompany my heylookit photos, I realize now that my recollections of that uneventful January day have become slightly hazy. As should be at least somewhat visible in the photographs, I’ve slept since then.
The project provided me with an interesting challenge for many reasons. For starters, though I sell them every day at work, I posses no fancy digital camera. I was relegated to my vast collection of film cameras, both old and new, and my wife’s worse-for-wear Olympus digital, which she received as a Christmas gift some four years ago. But I digress.
The following photographs represent a day in the life of Michael J. Champlin, and I’d like to think that the idiosyncrasies of the photos reflect something about my personality. Or at the very least, that I am quirky, inventive, and mysterious—or perhaps just slightly old-fashioned.
