How did it happen?

So during another experiment I laid down in front of the camera, which was going off at intervals with remote shooting running through my computer. I was just messing around on the bathroom floor making faces. There were a few of the shots I actually really liked, to my surprise, since I had no make up on, and it was fairly late at night, I felt I didn't look my best. But what a liar de-saturation is :) The make-shift lighting, is pretty different for lighting a face. If I was actually trying to shoot a portrait of myself, I may not have thought of arranging the lights in that way.

Here is one shot that I love.

Facebook Manners and You

I definitely break rule #2 a lot. I like bad pictures though!!

I think that I am finding I fit into the "commercial photographer" category. I don't especially like event, or portraiture. Mainly because I have a hard time with people. I like to pay attention to details and mood. If it's a very specific shot of a person in a costume or in an elaborate setting, for some reason that's much more comfortable for me. Because it's somehow more ok to be a weirdo. And the person is more like an object or doll. The amount of setting up and creating it, makes it so much more than just pressing a button, and it is! It is art!

I do enjoy food photography (what small amount I've done officially), and certain interesting product shots, or small scale settings.

But lighting, it's all about lighting.

New York trip 2008!

The Cup

(thanks andrewle)

This is a cup that has reoccurred in my life, and I'm sure yours and everyone else's! I decided to take a photo every time i saw it, and it made for some oddly interesting photos. My favorite ones, are like where's waldo. Try to find the cup!
So then i made a flickr group for it. It's really exciting to get other people in on this, and see what they see.

Please join the group!
