Headed to Beijing
Photos by Lisa Scheer, All Rights Reserved
I am headed to Beijing in a few days, and bringing along one camera - a Leica M7 - and plenty of rolls of Kodak Portra film. The Leica allows me a spontaneity that I don't typically have with my Hasselblad; there's a formality and deliberativeness that comes with using the Hasselblad. I'm looking forward to shaking things up a little visually, and breaking some of my reflexive patterns of seeing. I imagine I'll be stumbling around Beijing most of the time, jet-lagged and weirdly overwhelmed. The rangefinder might translate that perceptual overload well.

The Mill Village Project
I am in the process of putting "The Mill Village Project: Everyday Life in Pictures" on my website. Finally. It will be an edited version of the show that appeared at the Greensboro Historical Museum in May.

From the "Waiting" Series
This is part of a longer-term project called "Waiting," a series of images that reveal something about the nature and identity of place. Most of the photographs were made in and around the city of Greensboro, North Carolina, the place where I live. Most of the images are of interiors of small, privately-owned businesses found in aging, commercial strip shopping centers: barbershops, ice cream parlors, laundromats. My hope is that, over time, this exploration will yield a kind of narrative, an edited vision about what remains of Greensboro's regional character. I plan to include environmental portraits as well. A more complete version of this series is available here.
