Thursday 8-30

My very good friend, Skyler Brown, bought me this amazing plastic umbrella with tubes of lipsticks on it.
I saw it hanging on the door and thought, "What would it look like to shoot it up close.
Maybe shine light through it.
I didn't go with the shots where I shined light from underneath, because I liked the strong radiating lines of this shot.

Tuesday 8-28

My friend Skyler Brown and her pet cat, Nikon.
I think, Nikon's expression is priceless.

Monday 8-27

My baby girl.

Jolie.

Sunday 8-26

This girl was filming the soccer game at UNCG, that I shot for my soccer assignent.

The sun was quite persistent today so I decided to play with flare.

I think it was a success.

Saturday 8-25

I was in Barnes and Noble earlier, and I saw a rather nice guy sipping his caramel macchiato and reading Christine Feehan's Dark Secret. 

Mind you this guy looked to be about 23ish.
Not to mention, Feehan's novels are quite...how should I put it?...
...risque.

I am rather certain it was the funniest and strangest thing I have ever seen in a bookstore.

Friday 8-24

Friday Night Magic!
Yeah I'm a nerd.
This man was playing a test run of his newly restructured deck, and was nice enough to let me take his picture.

Thursday 8-23

My God-mother, making dinner.
I chose a low angle to keep from being boring.
Also I believe that unless the photo is "missing something" without the color, it should be in black and white.
Period.
Just my philosophy.

Wednesday 8-22

I saw this little bugger around my friends' place, while his owner walked him around.
I talked to the owner and I might be breeding my toy poodle with this little Pomeranian fluffernut!
So cute.

Tuesday 8-21

Shooting from the hip was a fun experiment in Bojangles today.

I like that you cant see her whole face.

To me, it says something about consumerism and the faceless workforce behind the commercial industry.

I just don't know what, exactly it says.
:)

THE RULES

It occurred to me that I should explain the rules that have been lain out for us.
Who said photography school was easy?

Monday 8-20

Some of my favorites.
Unfortunately I am already forced to use one of my "give me" images.
I didn't go anywhere today other than school and that ended up being a bust so no images.
I had to use my iPhone even.
Oh well.
Here's hoping they get better in the future.
