Thanksgiving!

Wow what a busy session. No photos in this post...and probably none for a while. I am currently taking an MPV (motion picture) class, so everyone should look for some youtube links here soon (i'm thinking next weekish).

Well i flew home to spend Thanksgiving with the family. It was a good day and a good visit so far. When i got in Wednesday i met up with some friends for a night of The Beatles Rock Band and Left 4 Dead 2 games, so much fun.

Today i helped my mom cook, we delivered some food baskets to the elderly, and i got to eat my traditional 2 Thanksgiving dinners, one at mom's and the other at dad's. I got all sentimental today also and decided to do one of those "what are you thankful for?" things and i wanted to share it.

in random order.

I am thankful for:

My parents for always supporting me in this crazy notion i have of being a photographer.

My Grandpa, because he keeps on kickin (and after this year that's a good thing)

My Friends

Maddy-because we just get each other

Ashley- cause she is always there

Mallory- because no one makes me laugh like she does

Matt- cause he's the best bro a guy could have

Dan- Because he's been around since 101 and he is not a whore

Kate- because you bundled my wish of a Harry Potter loving, British obsessed friend into one awesome mini cooper package.

Christina- How many people in the world can laugh but have no sound come out??? and you always keep me on a good path.

Willie- because you're legit, awesome, and talented

My Faith

My chance to do what i love every day.

I am thankful for the people i have known that have changed me, the experiences i have had that make me who i am, and the twists in life that make it all interesting.

The "Homicidal Housewife"

I promised Kate i would get these up. I did this shoot almost 6 months ago. The original inspiration came from our assignment called Gift and Gift incongruity. I got that inspiration from the "Dexter" billboards in LA. It's shocking but i love it.

Cleaning the hard drives

Well today while i was cleaning and organizing my hard drives i came across a folder called Flakey Models. It was the first time Dan, Kate and i all messed with the H2 cameras at school after Dan's model flaked on him. I found an image i took of kate and decided to do some retouching and come up with this.

I also found the second set of "Homicidal Housewife" i shot with kate as the model and plan on finishing that series up tonight also.

Prep Week!

Wow like always the end of the session was a blur. I had some images of our Cyanotyping and Van Dyke images we made so i wanted to share those along with some holga images that i am very happy with, and an image from our hand made album day.

These three holga images look amazing printed, i am very happy with them.

The Van Dyke process. That was a lot of fun.

and a shot from the hand made album day.

So along with the crazyness of the last few weeks of school my friend Christina got engaged! Her and Sam's wedding will be next summer and we all cannot wait!

I also got my Profoto D1's today! and i am super excited for that.

I plan on having a few updates this prep week and doing some shooting for me so stay tuned!

A new look

So playing around with Photoshop i found something i really liked. Here are a few imags.

3 more for this Session

For this session i did another 3 Disney characters for one of my final portfolios. I added Pinocchio, Peter Pan, and Aladdin to the set this session.

Pinocchio- Willie Kessel

Peter Pan- Shelby Taylor

Aladdin- Rodrigo Palma

Oh and i saw this episode of Family Guy last night...best episode ever. (Animated Disney Style)

Light to Dark

I haven't posted for a while so i though i would post some of what i have been working on.

We start our hand made albums in class this friday and i am super excited. My theme is light to dark. I am shooting a series of Angels, Demons, and Elements. Here are three of the images i am working on for the album.
