The Macris Group

Oxbow Media is still alive and kicking. I'm working freelance on some websites. Here's one I put together this week: The Macris Group (Putting a link on this site is going to help it show up on Google searches).

Also, during my photography program, I'll be designing a new codygantz.com. It'll hopefully be a simple preview of my portfolio images. Still focusing on basic lighting, portraiture, and design.

PHOTOGRAPHER HELPS FRIED FARM GET BACK ON FEET

TURNERS FALLS, Mass., Oct. 7, 2008 – Local photographer Cody Gantz took public relation shots last weekend for a recently destroyed farm in Concord, Mass.

Verrill Farm, which burned down from an electrical fire September 20, is still open for business, despite lacking their farm stand. Mr. Gantz, while at a christening, photographed desserts catered by the farm to help show the public that the farm has resumed business in full.

“I didn’t think they’d be able to do anything for me, but they came through,” said Wenda Critchlow, the host of the christening reception. Mr. Gantz photographed the newly christened baby posing with a platter of cookies, and trying to grab some as well.

Mr. Gantz, who grew up frequenting the farm stand, also photographed the old site in Concord Center, where the unharmed fields remain. A photographer for Oxbow Media, a local design firm, Mr. Gantz also designs websites and logos. He graduated from Boston University with a degree in Journalism, and currently studies at the Hallmark Institute of Photography.

Fort Point Open Studios

If you're in Boston on these dates, Fort Point Open Studios is usually a fun event.


Classes

Photography school is going well. Only two weeks in, and I feel like I've learned a lot already. We've been doing assignments about exposure and color, mostly with medium format film cameras. Here's an image of a train car from Shelburne Falls, MA:



I'll put some more pictures up once I scan some film.
