Remember when we used to relax?

No, but I remember this beautiful place!!

Sometimes I feel like being a photographer is a step closer to becoming a masochist. Taking photos isn't relaxing, it's tense, I'm way too aware, "missing every shot" (even though I'm probably not), and the pleasure comes at the end when it's over and I put the camera down and breathe. Then I feel great about what you did (sometimes) and that's where the "relaxation" and pleasure are. I feel satisfied that I did something I love to do, and then go torture my mind again the next time and "relax" again when its over.

I will unquote the word "relax" once I learn the meaning of it.

The Woods

Dont worry. If something weird can be done, it will be done. If you build it, I will come. If it exists, I will find it. If it doesn't exist, I will make it.

Oh no I have to go to walmart.

The most dreaded place of all.

Heres my cologne shot. Done on the beach that is in my spare bedroom. And yes, the cologne does actually smell good and I'm not much of a cologne girl. Most of them make me sneeeeze.

Rambling.

Beverage

So fresh and so clean clean?

Round 2

Glass

I wasn't that impressed with myself for this assignment. However, my teacher was. This was shot in color, I just made everything in the scene black and white.

"lets make a movie, but bring your camera just in case"

Just in case something weird like this happens.

Just in case we spend an hour and 1/2 trying to get balloons to float chinese lanterns. Or just balloons to stick on the walls and cat.
I'm glad Dali faced her demons in the end, nipping the great devil - the balloon.

and the after party.

Resume pace

Back in action! I only have one class this semester that I'll be consistently shooting in. It's kind of disheartening but also a nice change. First assignment...light painting. FUN. Just set up your shot, and release the FLASH LIGHT.

I'm going to develop my film tonight. Maybe now. Ok now.

I scanned these at home on my PRO LESS THAN PERFECTION EPSON V200. Ignore the grain, lack of contrast and greyscale limitations. Ignore everything except for subject matter.
