Film Photo Manipulation Project

Things I learned from this photo project: 1) Photo manipulation with film is actually really hard.

2) It is worthwhile.

Enjoy!

Pam's Pix

A few weekends ago, my gorgeous and incredibly wise mentor, Pam, asked me to take her photos for her new website. I have known her since seventh grade, and she has always been one of the first people I look to for advice, so of course I said yes. These are some of the results, and I think they are some of my best digitals, if I do say so myself =)

December Snowfall

I woke up this morning to find fluffy white stuff on my windowsill, so, knowing me, I had to take pictures of it, despite the fact it was: A) Freeze-your-behind-off cold outside, and B) Only like 8:30 in the morning, and most people are still sound asleep at that time of day. But, this is what I got, and I am rather fond of it, so it was worth the biting cold =)

First Gig!!!!

So, a few weekends ago, yours truly had their first-ever, legit, paying photography gig!!!! I took photos at a family friends' grandparents' wedding anniversary, and it went really well. These are some of my favorite shots. For the sake of people's privacy, I tried to avoid posting photos with people in them (but I posted a couple that I really love). Hope you enjoy! =)

Around the Town

I went around town with my mother running errands today, and took my camera (on loan from my friend, so, yes, technically not mine) with me. I got a few good shots :-)

So for my birthday this year, I got the best thing any photo geek could ever ask for... a new camera! No, it was not a super-sleek Nikon or a Cannon, instead, it was a Holga! It's the best freaking toy camera ever, and it's only like $20. I enjoyed taking these pics very much, and I hope you like them :-)

Meine Güte! It appears as though I'll be traveling with my school's Prague 2010 Program this Spring! Excitement does not even BEGIN to cover how I feel about this...! Since I'll be visiting Prague, Amsterdam, and Berlin, I suppose I'd better brush up on my Czech, German, and Dutch!

Anyway, I'm telling you this to make a promise (to which you can hold me):
I do solemnly swear to produce AT LEAST five good pictures from EACH city I visit, and post them on this blog.

Look forward to seeing these pictures in the future, because I definately look forward to TAKING them!

Sunrise

This morning, I was getting ready to leave my house when, whilst eating my breakfast consisting of a slice of a raspberry danish and some apple cider, I noticed this beautiful sunset peeking through the window at me. I grabbed my camera and ran out into the freezing cold to take these pictures, so, seeing as I froze my behind off, you had better enjoy them...!

Anyways, on another note, I have started to watermark my pictures. This means that it will be a lot harder to steal my work.

So, don't do it.

Just don't.

"Burial at Thebes" Headshots

I had the opprotunity recently to do the headshots for my school's upcoming production of "Burial at Thebes," a version of "Antigone." I was really lucky to have this chance to work with some very talented, nice, and gorgeous actors and actresses... I just hope they're happy with the results :-)
