One of many antique objects that I’ve photographed. My thought was that this image and one-to-two of my other antique image photographs would make a good diptych or triptych. More photographs can be found here: http://www.jasonmichaels.com/objects
This European gentleman was captured outside a Vietnamese shop in Springvale, Victoria. There was a certain surreal quality to the accordion music being played in front of the dead pigs and ducks. Some pumped-up saturation and a highpass augmented the image.

Lunch hour in Melbourne. It’s been a successful and productive morning for some, while others seem ready to change careers.

Of days gone by…. A stunning Hohner Piano Accordion
I was taking photographs at the National Folk Festival. She told me she was learning the accordion and I thought she had such a striking face that I just had to take her portrait. Taken in natural light.
This old button accordion belonged to my wife’s Great-Grandmother who apparently got it when she was a little girl. I have simplified it and left off a lot of the graphics but have tried to loosely interpret the age of the instrument. It is painted with a combination of Winsor and Newton, Daniel Smith, and Rublev 18th century reproduction watercolor paints on Arches 140# cold-pressed paper. The texture of the cold-pressed Arches paper allows this particular type of large grained single pigment paint to granulate and collect in very interesting and unusual ways. The original of this piece has been sold but its original size was 14” x 10”. It belongs in the private collection of the accordion player for the Celtic/Rock/Punk band The Mighty Regis. 4th Place Finisher in Old Time Music and Instr… challenge. /
Street Photography I had planned this project several months ago, fall of 2008 to be exact. I wanted to go downtown and take portraits of people who spend most of their time roaming those streets. I later decided to include street performers, commonly known in these parts as “buskers. I was a little apprehensive about approaching total strangers and asking them if I could take their portrait. I wasn’t afraid in a physical sense but uncomfortable about how they might react. I had to come across as professional, calm and respectful. For those who accepted my proposal I explained to them what I wanted to do, showed them the portraits as I was taking them and then I was off to buy them breakfast! My initial apprehension was overcome by a conversation I had earlier in the morning of the first shoot. While on one of my photo excursions around the city I met up with a gentleman I had met only a week or so before. He is a retired firefighter and loves to talk photography. I told him about some of my projects, this one included and he told me he had been in an local office only two days before and was amazed to see portraits on the walls of street people who frequented these same streets when I was a boy 35 and 40 years ago. I remembered at least two of the names, one of which was “Bucky King”! How nice was it that someone at the time had the foresight to take those portraits. But’s that all gone now and there is very little record of it! We were both excited and it brought back childhood memories for us both! There was a lot of character in those faces! If I didn’t do this maybe no one else will? I decided to head downtown and give it a go! I decided to use a technique of portraiture that Stanley Kubrick used when a staff photographer with LOOK magazine. Kubrick would shoot these portraits from a low angle, looking up at them; the intent was to raise their status! I was considering doing this in black and white because it seems that many (some would say all) a great portrait was done in black and white! But I decided to stick with colour and make it work the best I can! I am in contact with a local charity and will donate all profits! I will provide links when I have this finalized!

The accordion is a relative newcomer on the music scene, having been invented in the early 1800s in Europe (drawing from the concept of older Chinese instruments) and only taking shape in its modern form later in that century. Because the accordion was able to make such a loud sound (remember, amplification hadn’t come around yet), it became quite popular, especially for dance music.
I have been wanting to add another melodeon to my musical instrument series since my first one has been so popular. This particular instrument belongs in the collection of Dan Possumato who is a professional button accordion player specializing in the traditional music and songs of Ireland. I painted this with a combination of Daniel Smith Primatek and Rublev 18th century reproduction watercolor paints on Arches 140# cold-pressed paper. These single pigment paints in conjunction with the coarse grained paper really help to add textures and interest to the piece. The original is 14”x10.25” in size. /
