For this project, I returned to my hometown and took my adventure buddy, Harriet, to the old local swimming hole on the Battle River.
I fitted a video camera with a homemade pinhole lens and tinted the light coming into the camera. The effect is an homage to the warm, hazy summertime vibes of old home movies and cheap dirty sunglasses. This is what my memories look like.
Each frame from the video will be printed on one of 1500 limited edition beer bottles.
