ZacharyReed

Somewhere in between lost and found.

I'm re-starting an old project... 

An outlet for the moments that make up my life. Enjoy.

Most what you see here has been shot with some sort of 5mp point n shoot. Consistency? Nonexistent. Well, maybe vivid colour and the chronological order that they’re posted in. But that’s about it. This story starts in 2008. But you'll be joining me in 2009. 

Hiiiii!!!!

To break the ice, i'd like to share a little review of my work.

"Zachary Reed has a decadent ability to provocatively stir the lines between sensual and obscene. His photographs seem to capture an alternate reality that some only dare imagine under the covers or when their significant other is asleep, yet somehow manages to tame it in a way that invokes us to challenge our own inhibitions. His art is a glimpse of how he views his world and those he immortalizes. Like a one-night stand he draws on all that is primal within his subjects to capture it in a moment, and remind us all what lies beneath our skin of normalcy."-A. R.

As flattering as the above statement is regarding my work, it’s not all encompassing. My work has also been called “Tastefully raunchy, simply complex.” Even that makes my work sound sexy. Is it? At times, you betcha. But not always. For me photography is just about keeping your eyes open: seeing things that you might not, seeing them for what they are, what they aren’t, and what’s hidden within them.

"The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanely sensitive. To them a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. And to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create – so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, their breath is cut off. They must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency they are not really alive unless they are creating."—Pearl Buck

Hey, how’s it going? It’s been a while since I was last here. I’m not sure why. I think I kinda lost my fire. I’m not shooting nearly as much as I was. I don’t care to look at my old work as much as I used to. It seems after a week I’m pretty much done with it. There’s no motivation to post here. I’ve been trying though. I’m not sure if you like the old stuff but for some reason I feel I have to show the work in chronological order. I guess I want to tell my story with out writing it. Let you see the ups and downs, the progression as well as the occasional regression.

I’ve joined another site… I know. I’m cheating on you with a different crowd. Don’t worry. I’m not showing anything more there than what I am here. Besides, I love you (all) more. And you show me more love in return. I do have a lovely lil blog on the side that I post to though. The postings are rare and infrequent but what I have on there is good. And it’s stuff that you won’t see on here (not for a while anyway). Not just photos, but writing as well. Short stories, rants.. Basically me. Check it out if you like zacharyreed.blogspot.com I am trying to update it more often.

That’s all for now. Just checking in to let you know that I’m still alive and kicking (puppies. j/k). I’ll try to bombard you with a ton of work this summer so that one day what I post my be from, say, last week rather than last decade.
