Photographing Salem on gritty black and white film.

A couple months ago, I took a trip out to the east coast (my second favorite coast) to do some shooting around Boston and Salem. Here I'll be sharing the finished black and white film shots from my time in Salem. I shot mainly Lomography Lady Gray 400 speed film, and I was pleased with the way the shots turned out.

In this shot, I liked the leading line of the houses up into the corner of the frame, and the texture of the film really shows.

I liked the framing of this shot, and I liked the almost 3d feel of the plate on the street.

The classic witch shot.

Another classic witch shot.

I liked the detail of this shot, and the door had a nice texture that was accented with film.

This was an interesting statue that I found in downtown Salem, so I wanted to shoot it. I also liked the old style houses in the shot.

Here is a little street shot that showcases the Salem Newspaper.

I liked this shot of two of my friends walking down the street. The framing is nice, and I thought the whole frame was balanced.

This is a simple shot, and I liked how the light fell on the fence.

Michael Neal

I liked the way the fence bends here, and I liked the bokeh of the gravestones in the background.

Michael Neal

I liked the extreme contrast here and the silhouette that was painted on this statue.

Michael Neal

This is just a classic street shot, but I like it because it helps to sum up Salem in downtown. These last two shots are texture shots, so I'll end the article with those. I hope you enjoyed seeing Salem, and I highly recommend visiting if you ever get the chance!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
