what?

I dont feel like i need to explain this. thank you.

Scheimpflug

Sounds like swine flu to me. I had the worst first experience with this technique but I'm actually not upset with the results. Things worked out well, I think. Here we go.

I was told my photos have "social commentary". I dread being one of those people, but I think I am...I'll try to embrace it and see what happens. I don't want to be a social commentary person that eventually goes crazy and protests really random weird things. We'll see, right?

And the rainbow sky is some random phenomenon. I thought it was the scanner but it turns out its on the negative. I believe I have found the Floridian aurora borealis.

Joking.

I went on vacation

Vacation pictures!

Disturbing - No models were harmed in the making of these photos

So we had a "disturbing" assignment a couple weeks ago, and I was scared to put up the photos in fear of scaring away any potential nature models but whatever...sorry models. I promise I'm not a psycho.

more coming...fortunately and unfortunately.

Theres one "more" I promised. Eeeeee! Dun dun dun....SAVE YOURSELVES!!!

And the nature portfolio continues

And as usual... just like my thoughts, the directions of the photos change. I'm like a whirlwind of thoughts, and sometimes its a good thing and other times its bad. But I suppose overall it is good, because I could come out with two separate portfolios stemming from the same idea. I just have to keep going.

Now, this one...in black & white or color? I'm thinking black and white. I'm usually incorrect in my thoughts though regarding which photo to choose, so help me out!

This little series of Eddie with the leaf shadows on his back kind of go with the photos of my sister being a swamp monster....in the sense that....I don't know they just go. Nature is on them? Someone in class said these and the ones of my sister are more "intimate" than the others. Which makes sense on so many levels, #1 being my sister is my sister, and Eddie is my love. So how do I pinpoint that intimacy and find a way to use it in everything I do? Find a connection with everyone on some kind of level? See a few blogs ago for swamp Amy photos.

Speaking of nature. On my shoot with Catherine and Emily, mother nature took it upon herself to destroy my speedlite. I don't even know when it happened. I was wading through a river and next thing I know it my hot shoe thingy has been partially decapitated. Note: Wading through rivers did not damage it, some mysterious force did. Did river otters gnaw on it while I wasn't looking?

The great wilderness

So I met Catherine and Emily on craigslist and had an awesome shoot with them. It was so much fun! I can't believe I met two people who willingly hopped into a river with me. We shot for a while, sunk in sand, saw river otters, listened to Jimmy's mom, and made some sweet pics. Here are just a few. I'm still editing (I took a billion).

Well, I don't really have much to say today. I shot with the bees with a makeshift studio. I really need to invest in a background stand. Craigslist here I come!!

These subjects have nothing to do with each other. I just kind of forgot that I started a blog and so I'm catching up in my posts.

Model: Edward Heim Jr

And here's a baby sister in natural light. Kinda the theme of the portfolio project, but its not gonna be closeups. Natural light, natural looks, with a wispy, dreamy kind of feel.
