The Process


I wanted to give you a glimpse of what lies ahead for John Hagen and the Digital Totem Project: lots of computer work.

After each shooting session I download all of my images and review the shoot. This is a screenshot of my Adobe Bridge window from one of recent sessions. It should be fun to work with all of these files in the very near future. The take shows a sort of bracketing I use in the process. When the painter poles are extended, there is a certain amount of instability I have started to over shoot the high the pole gets. It has been taking me just under 400 photographs to document each 16' pole.
