New York, New York... Again? Yup.

2009-12-13T00:51:00.002-05:00

On my way back to New York again to spend the week shooting a good number of jobs with Anastasiia who graciously put a lot of time and effort into booking me an entire week of nothing but Photo jobs all around the city. She is something else! So, I need to get some sleep, because I leave out in a few hours. Pray for us while we endure this week of hard, but awesome work. That Christ can move through us and we can be effective not only in the work produced through photography but that some how some lives can be changed because of love we have for them and love we have for what we do. God has kept me moving in the non-stop life I've had since the beginning of July and I am praying that as the year is coming to an end, it ends with Joy and Peace to ready myself for a new year to really jump into an endless ocean known as Photography. Thank you for your support :).

Rebecca & Megan Lovell Promos.

2009-12-08T00:36:00.005-05:00

Recently I shot with Rebecca and Megan Lovell of The Lovell Sisters, for their new project. I felt really honored that they wanted to go with me for their project, they are truly talented girls with amazing hearts. I cannot wait to see where they head in the music industry. Also thanks to my friend Jessica who came out to help me shoot these two on the such short notice, much appreciated. Go ahead and check out their music they have up on The Lovell Sister's myspace: www.myspace.com/thelovellsisters. Also, I am stoked to announce that I'll be shooting their oldest sister Jessica's Wedding on New Years Eve. It is going to be a blast to work with these girls again along with the rest of their family and bring in the new year with a good ol' hitchin'!. I'll be posting more of the photos soon, but for now check out the Flickr for those that I have posted.

Take Care, Stranger Full Flickr Post.

2009-11-27T13:14:00.005-05:00

I posted up about 32 or so Take Care, Stranger Promos yesterday. I am excited for them to be almost completely done with their new EP "While We Breathe". It'll be out January 5th, 2010 on iTunes and Amazon MP3, so be ready to pick it up! Go to my Flickr account to check out all of the photos. There are tons of things to get done before the New Year so I can start 2010 with a whole new portfolio and everything else.

The Advent Conspiracy.

2009-11-26T14:28:00.005-05:00

THE START LAST YEAR:
A new way of thinking, living, and renewed worshiping. Convicted and inspired, my family has been apart of a different style of giving for the past few years but I hope our family can be apart of this for as well for years to come. People all over are in need... you know, just the simple things like clean water, to survive n' all. As far as my life is concerned, I know more people in... want. We have our essentials and this is a great way to give away that which we have to those who don't have much or anything at all. It is Thanksgiving. I'm thankful for my family and friends, life, Love, and fountain of needs provided by a graceful God. Because I am thankful, it is time to give, joyfully. Whoop! Whoop!

THIS YEAR:

Flex Your Head.

2009-11-19T14:58:00.002-05:00

About a little over a week ago, I shot my friend Robert's band, Flex Your Head. I love the guys and FYH is probably my favorite band in Atlanta Hardcore. Great guys with good morals and values. They played a great set and I was glad I got to get shots of their first show back since they finished their new record "Abandonment Issues". Check their music out at their myspace, www.myspace.com/flexxxyourhead. And check out my Flickr page to see the rest of the photos I posted.

New York, New York.

2009-11-17T08:29:00.002-05:00

Here's Anastasiia in New York on the Brooklyn Bridge from this past weekend. My brother and I had a great time hanging out with her the whole weekend and enjoying the city once again, first time for my brother. I have a bunch of photos I'll be posting from the trip, but... they are behind a gigantic pile of work I need to get done, so you'll see them, but not yet! Also I'll be returning to New York in December and I'll be talking about that a little bit more when the time comes.

In other news, I'm off to shoot Rebecca and Megan Lovell today for a new project they are starting. Rebecca and Megan are in the trio, The Lovell Sisters, which is an amazing bluegrass, folk band. So I am pretty honored to get to work with these two today because their music is sooooo sick! Check them out there music myspace www.myspace.com/thelovellsisters.

Take Care, Stranger.

2009-11-13T02:33:00.002-05:00

Here is the first look at the Take Care, Stranger promo shoot. My good friends Ark and Lauren were so dang great to work with and I'm super stoked about getting these images up soon. Take Care, Stranger is something Ark has been working on for a bit and Lauren was recently added on to the project. The Debut EP "While We Breathe" is gonna be freakin' sick!

The other reason I am updating right now is because I am sitting here transferring a bunch of stuff to my new Hard Drive... it's going to become a space issue soon, but it's going to make things run a bit smoother for sure.

ALSO!!! I'm heading to New York City in the morning once again!!! To see my lovely Anastasiia and show my brother around the city for the weekend. Before this year I had never been to NYC, and now I'm going a second time and... one more time in December for some good stuff I will blog about soon.

Mike Cosentino.

2009-10-30T04:21:00.003-04:00

Here's the first look at my shoot from today with Mike Cosentino. The dude is great and will be releasing his new album in 2010. He's a great guy from "Joysie" and I will link him up when I get all his information about the new album. In the next post when I put up more photos from the shoot, I'm going to have some of these shots linked on my website so you can see them big! This shot is not meant to be seen small. No worries though, the time of this blog and it's tiny pictures is on it's way to an end. Go to the Flickr to see it a "tad", literally tad, bigger.

Other new news, I'm shooting Sunday with my friend Ark Zaydman (Take Care Stranger), to work on promo photos for his soon-to-be Debut EP. Stoked, the weather is perfect lately!

Sir Matthew Perez.

2009-10-24T13:28:00.003-04:00

Thursday I shot with my friend Matthew Perez of Elevation (super tight band, check them out). He is a killer dude and a lot of fun to shoot with. I was really happy with the results to a shoot that was not prepared much. I have a bunch more of photos posted up on Flickr so check them out.

That Time Of Year.

2009-10-22T00:23:00.002-04:00

It was around this time 14 years ago when the Atlanta Braves won the National League Championship and the World Series Championship. I miss a lot of the guys, especially Dave Justice 23, who I aspired to be haha. I am down about Bobby retiring after next season, but the reason I'm posting this is because I am hoping we'll pull out one last World Series for Bobby next year. I just hope the city of Atlanta will get behind our home team and push them all the way!

My Nephew: Elijah!

2009-10-18T11:50:00.002-04:00

So I have spent almost two weeks with my nephew and they were absolutely amazing. My Sis, bro-in-law, and Eli, headed back up to NC today and instantly it sucked! I love when they are here and hate when they leave. He is, without a shadow of a doubt, the cutest, smartest, and most amazing 2 year-old struttin' around out there. The ladies already swoon over him, he is picking up drums, guitar, piano, golf, and baseball... :) hahaha, and honestly he just turned 2 and can already speak in full sentences. Ask Anastasiia, she can vouch hahaha. Yes I am biased, but I feel like it is my Uncle Duty to brag on my lil' dude! I have tons of photos of him from the past two years and probably should put them into the works of creating something... hmmmm will see :).

"I'm Two Yay!!!"

This is my Sister, the raddest sis on the planet. She helped to beget the amazing wonder known as Elijah! :)

The kid loves the drums, what can I say?

Operation: WORKFLOW

2009-10-16T01:40:00.003-04:00

So the word "Operation" may be a little on the exaggerated side, but only to get me serious about my workflow. After spending a lot of time having WORKFLOW WORKFLOW WORKFLOW being hammered into my skull, I have been trying to prepare myself and my future business to have a tight and steady flow A.K.A. A Flowing River Named Work A.K.A. WORKFLOW!

Now I'm not just talking about how to edit my images quickly and efficiently. That would be known as, just use Lightroom and more so pointed towards wedding photography or just sorting through a days worth of images, and even that you could resort back down to Bridge. No, I am really speaking about business workflow. Finally getting my website up (but one I love and works the most efficient), new blog, better and more efficient storage for my images, get everything set with the new Accountant and Bookkeeper (highly recommended by a very very reliable source), more efficient workspace, freeing up hard drives, setting up shoots for the new portfolio in some special locations ;), and finishing albums, example books, comp cards, etc. etc. etc. Much stuff to do, but things that are very essential to getting out there. So, hur weh go!

Hey, I'm 21 Now. Whoop! Whoop!

2009-10-14T22:51:00.005-04:00

So yeah, I turned 21 this past Saturday. We had a little party and as you can see... set up a "photobooth". Go to my flickr if you feel like reading the sarcasm behind it haha (all in fun of course).

Anywho! So I had some of the biggest surprises this birthday, and one of them happens to be the biggest surprise I've ever gotten. The girl above may look familiar... yeah because she's Anastasiia, the beautiful gal I happened to meet in New York at the beginning of September with Marc and Zack. So she secretly contacted Danielle and Jessica, then my Mom, so everyone knew, my family, friends, and even Marc knew she was coming. Yeah so basically on Saturday I flipped with stokedcitement! It was an amazing birthday and was glad I got to spend it here at home with my friends and family.

An Old Goodie.

2009-10-09T00:57:00.004-04:00

I shot this photo about 2 years ago when I first started at Gwinnett Tech. I always really liked this image of my two friends Ark and Jim. It's always reminded me of some fun times. Since I haven't been able to get out and shoot much for my own portfolio, I thought I share an old goodie that I touched up a little.

UPDATES! I shot 3 weddings this past weekend so I have been beyond tired and school classes are very demanding, it's a lot different now that none of it has to do with photography hahah. I am in the middle of planning some big shoots and can't wait to get to them and post the work. I am currently trying to be a good student and also work on getting a bunch of albums finished. I'll also have a new wedding preview up soon from Victoria and Dylan's wedding where everyone can see a little more of the images. YES! I know, I'm still working on the site and blog. We'll see what happens after this weekend :).

Get It Going.

2009-10-01T20:31:00.003-04:00

WHERE TO GO FROM HERE? The website is chosen and I'll have it up ASAP. The new blog will be set up with it. Getting jobs organized... and doing homework hahaha. At the same time I have all this inspiration yet have not gotten around to putting it into action. So, I'm ready to kick my butt into gear and try try try. Putting myself to use.

Here are some more fun photos from New York.Click on the photos to read about them.

Dylan & Victoria Wedding.

2009-09-26T01:16:00.002-04:00

I KNOW I KNOW! I was supposed to update more on New York, but things have been crazy with me being sick and having to get a butt load ready before I start back to school to finish up some core classes AH! But here is a shot from a wedding we had out in Wedowee, Alabama. The images are purty tasty and I will be posting more soon. You can head to Flickr to see a few more that I posted with this one. So BIG stuff coming soon, I'm just in a huge time crunch to get it all done. Oh and check out Marc and Zack's blogs to see what I have been up to with them as well.

Before It's Old News.

2009-09-12T02:49:00.004-04:00

So, as you have been reading, I was in New York from last Wednesday the 2nd to Monday the 7th. I wanted to make a big post about it but I have been so busy getting ready for my Portfolio Show tomorrow... today? Yeah, that I haven't had time to blog about the whole trip or the Portfolio show as well. So tomorrow or Sunday I will post about both. But a quick glance above is an amazing girl I met in NYC the 4th. Her name is Anastasiia and she is quite the beauty and smarty as well :). She took me out for the day on Sunday and helped make the trip one of the best trips of my life. Look out for her photo work coming soon! And below are my buds Marc and Zack who took me on this escapade of theirs and for that I am forever grateful because I learned and experienced so much in such a short amount of time, I will remember all of it for the rest of my life, they are not only amazing photographers but great friends as well. Ok, more to come later.

Oh and go to my portfolio show incase you weren't planning to already: 5384 Manor Drive, Stone Mountain, GA 30083! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Whoop!

Day... Four? Right. Right. NYC

2009-09-06T02:42:00.003-04:00

Yesterday was a full day of shooting with Zack, shooting the band Atomic Tom and then singer/songwriter Greg Holden. Then today we all (Marc, Zack, and myself) had a huge Indian Wedding. We've been busy as all-get-out, but it has been so amazing. I haven't shot much and most everything I have gotten is either just to show I have been there or not satisfying. I'm hoping to end that tomorrow with my new friend Anastasiia. A beautiful girl from the Ukraine who now lives here in New York City. I'll be spending tomorrow with her then shooting a bunch with Zack and getting to finally hang with Marc again! haha. Tomorrow should be an amazing day and a proper way to send me back to Atlanta early Monday morning. (P.S. Greg Holden's photo is up on Zack's blog now and he also has a show in Atlanta at the Loft the 22nd of this September, so head down to it if possible.)

Day Two in New York City.

2009-09-04T01:53:00.002-04:00

Today Zack and I went out to Brooklyn to shoot DJ Treasure Fingers. The shoot went great and as you can see we had a lot to work with which made it all the better. Zack and I headed back into Manhattan to roam a little more, grab a bite, and ended back in Time Square to do a little shooting. He sent me out on "assignment" to go take my first NYC photos. RC who happens to work with Scott Kelby showed up with some locals and we had some good conversation. Today was freakin sick, and tomorrow will be just the same.

Airport Stuckage.

2009-09-02T12:03:00.003-04:00

On my way to Newark, NJ at the moment to meet up with American Idols, Marc Climie & Zack Arias. I am currently stuck in the Charlotte, NC airport. I still hope to make it to NJ by 1:30 so we can hit up NYC as soon as possible. The weather is fresh and I'm starting to wake up. Day 1 is good.

The Big News.

2009-08-30T23:33:00.002-04:00

So, I'm still in disbelief; Two years of non-stop work, many emotions, a lot of life changing circumstances all finally came together. I won Best Portfolio 2009 for my photography program at Gwinnett Tech. It was hard but nothing felt more natural as far as work goes. It's so hard to express how I feel in writing or speaking. Christ has been extremely patient and gracious with me and has gotten me through so much the past two years and to be given this is just too much. There are a classroom of 23 other students deserving of this honor and to say I did it without all of them would be a lie. All my classmates (all linked to the right) helped me in some way along the way which is why I am so grateful for this experience that I might not would have had at any other school (special thanks to classmate Jessica Elliott for being an amazing partner for the past two years!). My teachers (Mrs. Harkins, Ms. Finch, Mrs. Kathy, John, D.Jones, and Claudia (oh and can't forget Ms. Hwang! haha))are the sickest, they helped me in and outside of school and their honesty, although it can be extremely hard to hear, has helped mold me into way more than the lil "photographer" who walked in two years ago. I'm definitely not trying to write some speech, just give credit where credit is due, because also, my Family and Friends have supported me all the way through and without all of these components of love in my life, I know I wouldn't be close to the person I am and receiving this honor wouldn't be as sweet. I'm just so dang stoked about this and also for all my classmates for making it through, giving it their all, and caring for one another the whole way through. Gwinnett Tech's Photography Program is one of the most radical experiences.

This video was put together by my friend and 2008 GTC graduate Danielle Millwood! She's a great friend, not only snapped some funny shots of yours truly on the announcement day, but also brought me some fortune cookies, balloons, bubblicious bubble gum, and ALSO a freakin Steak lunch! She is sooo dang dope! And excuse the random-ness of the video... :)

In other frackin' sweet news, I'll be heading to New Jersey/New York City with Marc Climie and Zack Arias to assist in a big ol' Indian Wedding and a few shoots around the Big Apple. We're heading out Wednesday and get back Monday in time to finish up last minute Portfolio Show business, HAVE HEART'S LAST SHOW IN ATLANTA!!!, and the big Show day on Saturday. Be there or be extremely lame, or bored, cause everyone's gonna be there, eatin fine food and drinkin Coca-cola... at least I will.

Portfolio JUDGEMENT DAY!

2009-08-26T18:53:00.004-04:00

Today was the beginning of the Judging of our Portfolios. It was nerve racking, exciting, fun, tiring, and also illuminating. Illuminating in the sense that I have had a great time at Gwinnett Tech for the most part. I have gotten to know some really great photographers and made good friends. I have never been a good student and I hated school most of my life, but for once I will miss a school. Not the work of course haha, but constantly seeing good people and watching them grow as photographers and just as people. I know it won't be the same after school, but it's a good thing because the new "chapter" of our lives is going to be one of the hardest but the most rewarding as we set off to be true professionals at a profession that takes great knowledge and talent. Stoked!

A few other things, Marc Climie and Zack Arias were judging today which is exciting in itself. Because of Zack's tweet about JUDGEMENT DAY, our Program's Blog has reached, as of this minute, 1,037 views and STILL rising just about every minute. I made a new header for it because I honestly didn't like the last one. The GTC Photography Website is now up. And last but not least, a big thanks to every single person who helped me out, whether it was a place to stay (Josh), book issues (Jessica), keeping me on track, or just plain encouragement (I feel like I'm accepting an award, but I really just feel a thanks is needed, and you could look at this whole thing as... an awarding experience! haha). For real, the respect and joy I have for my teachers, classmates, friends, and family is just brimming at the moment. So to some up this entry, go to our Portfolio Show September 12th, 6:30-9:30PM at the Art Station (www.artstation.com) at Stone Mountain. Whoop!

Ninety Four Promos.

2009-08-14T00:30:00.002-04:00

So I was really stoked when the guys from Ninety Four called me up about doing a shoot for them. Music photography is where I got my start in the photography world so I always sort of feel at home when I get out to help promote these guys with what they love doing. I love music and enjoy playing it, since I don't think I would ever make it as a musician this is just another alternative to always be apart of it, besides jammin whenever I get the chance ;). The guys were awesome and the shoot went great. I look forward to working with all the guys again in the future. Check out some of the shots on the Flickr. Also, big thanks to Danielle from Ella Rue Photography for helping me out with keeping the shoot flowing.

Two Years at Climie + Co.

2009-08-06T01:28:00.004-04:00

Huge deal at Climie + Co with the coming together of the past two years of images in a "best of book" that Marc will have displayed with the Atlanta Branch of the Bridal Bar. Check out his blog post here.

"As photographers, we have to be very self-critical if we are to grow visually. We have to stand by our decisions, even when others disagree, that an image really is worthy of being presented. At the same time, we also have to know when we like an images for reasons other than that they stand on their own, and we have to cut them out, get rid of them. It’s an extremely difficult process, but one that teaches you a lot about yourself and your craft." -Marc

Great Shoot with Whitney Jetton.

2009-07-31T21:46:00.002-04:00

So yeah, yesterday I had a great shoot with my good friend Whitney Jetton. We had a great time and I'm stoked about the results. I posted a few on my Flickr so check them all out, tell me what you think. I tried out some new techniques and again, I really liked the results. I will be shooting with Whitney again soon because we did not get to shoot everything we thought we could so yeah, you'll see her up here again soon.

A short story from the day: So the location above is an abandoned school that I shot at almost 5 years ago. I have always wanted to go back on account that I am a lil' better now and it is a perfect location (we only shot on one wing of the building). So anyways, we headed out and I said I wanted to take a chance to see if I could even find the location, not even believing it was still in tact... well who somehow remembered how to get right back to the same spot only to find that the school was still there and more abandoned than ever! So yeah, needless to say, it was a great day of shooting.

Up and Down Cycles.

2009-07-17T15:51:00.002-04:00

One minute I am swamped, the next I am trying to find something to do. Half because my shoots keep falling through and I have to prepare myself for the weekend, which requires slow and thought out plans. I have a wedding all day on Saturday out in Alabama, first out of state wedding and the location is said to be very nice. Anyways, the photo above is one I took of Augusta back in the Fall of 2008. I wanted to go back and tweak the original and ended up finding this one, liked it a lot, and decided to edit this one as well.

Textures n' Such.

2009-07-12T20:21:00.002-04:00

So yeah, I was not able to shoot much this past week so I felt like PSing the crap out of some photos and trying out textures. This one has more of an album art feel, so for you bands who are looking for album art design, I do enjoy it! But really I just decided to have some fun, nothing great. I took her face off, why? I don't know, because my friend Rebekah has a gorgeous grill but let's just call it, "all for the sake of art". It's not the best "face lift", could use some work, but I'm done for now. There is another one up on my Flickr.

Who can name the song reference?

Karl Wedding on www.brian-hall.net.

Also check out my Flickr for more photos.

The Summer and Rebekah Joiner.

2009-06-29T01:30:00.003-04:00

Ahhhh DUDE! I am so not ready for this summer "vacation" to end. It has been so amazing and even though, yes, I am exited about finishing school, I just want to have a little more time to keep what the last 3 weeks have held. I didn't shoot as much as I would have liked, but I was able to ENJOY so much more of this summer than I could have imagined. I'll still stay true to the summer and still have long nights and days swimming, it'll just be a little more busy with Portfolio coming. No worries though, I'm stoked to be going into this quarter with joy and peace.

Also, I did shoot, so here is one of my most recent shots of my good friend Rebekah Joiner. She has to be one of my favorite subjects of all time at the moment, not only is she outrageously beautiful (no make up, no retouching of the skin, etc.), she is also an amazingly sweet person, no matter what she says. You will see more of her once she gets herself back from South Africa while helping with the missions organization called Luo. Check out my Flickr for more photos of her and my two other friends Allen Mitchum and Ark Zaydman.

The River 2009!

2009-06-21T23:12:00.003-04:00

Yesterday, I spent all day with my friends from Forsyth at the river at Roswell Mill. It was one of the best days of the summer so far. I am hoping to have many more days like it this this summer even though school will be crazy. Amber, Ark, Rebekah, Adam, Thomas, Allen, and Whitney are good friends and made this weekend. I'm stoked to see what this week will bring. Go to my Flickr to see some of the photos from the day.

Nick Whitson: Scouting Locations.

2009-06-18T00:40:00.001-04:00

This past month I took a friend out with me by the name of Nick Whitson. I needed to find some new locations for shoots so we spent the afternoon/evening searching from the south east to the south west of Atlanta. We found some good spots so I'm hoping to get the ball rolling on these shoots before school starts back up. Check a few others out on Flickr.

Lighting Day: With Lindsay And Denise.

2009-06-12T14:29:00.004-04:00

Wednesday Lindsay, Denise, and I went out to do some 'On Location' light testing. We had a blast and now I'm stoked because we will be coming back here with some lovely subjects and ransack this place with the camera to see what will be pulled out of it.

The Fox Theatre of Atlanta.

2009-06-10T23:30:00.002-04:00

I just posted my Architecture Final Four on my Flickr. I'm not much of an Architectural Photographer, but I tried and these were the results. I was happy with them to say the least and I couldn't have done it without the help of Lindsey Edwards, Denise Benson, Jessica Elliott, and Evelyn Mendoza. Each helped me out at some point. Check out the GTC Blog to view Janet Kelley's and my work posted on the page.

WWW.BRIAN-HALL.NET

2009-05-29T13:22:00.002-04:00

I now have a temporary site up for weddings, www.brian-hall.net. It's nothing spectacular, but at least it's something for clients to go take a look at my work that does not have flickr in the name. I will be posting more tomorrow so check out the site, look through the gallery(ies (another one is coming soon)) and yeah, check it if you feel it.

Architecture Final Four.

2009-05-27T00:21:00.005-04:00

This is my Architecture Final Four location, The Fox Theatre of Atlanta. I am so stoked to have this opportunity. It was a hard day of work, 11 sheets of chrome, 4 to 12 minute exposures, etc. etc. This is a digital shot, many wrongs (like blew out the overhead lanterns, not perfectly straight around, color a little off) But I like it none-the-less and hope the chromes come out nice. Thanks to Lindsey and Denise for all the help! 7+ hours of shooting like this is never easy. Also special thanks to Yoonhwa of the Restoration Department for being sooooo kind to escort us around the ENTIRE day. She's such a great person.

Trying It Out.

2009-05-25T23:07:00.002-04:00

Today, as I was driving home from the store and the clouds were so sick. I didn't want to miss this opportunity and I just received my Pocket Wizards so... HELLO! Perfect opportunity. So my brother and I went out to a local field to try out the new gear and get those clouds. I am stoked with the results and even more stoked with knowing what is to come with this set up.

In The Studio This Week.

2009-05-25T02:24:00.004-04:00

This weekend we shot a couples portraits in the studio. Marc was supposed to have shot their wedding but complications came up which caused the wedding to be done on short notice so they wanted to at least have Marc shoot some portraits of themselves and their family and also a dinner party. Marc killed it and came out with some great images. The night was a very interesting but fun night. Oh, the life of a photographer.

Denise And Lindsey Day!

2009-05-22T01:15:00.004-04:00

I spent the Wednesday with two of my classmates/friends, Denise and Lindsey. I have never gotten to spend much time with them outside of school and I am really happy to have gotten to hang with them all day because they are some of the coolest gals I've ever met. It was a great day full of wanting to avoid Architecture and goof off, but we still killed it.

Goodbye Wolf Camera.

2009-05-18T01:16:00.005-04:00

This past Saturday was my final day at Wolf Camera and our stores final day after being open for the past 20 years (that's as long as I have been alive). I have spent the last two years working there as a salesman/lab tech. There were days when I liked the job and days where I really did not, but over all it was a good experience. It really confirmed the fact that I could never be a salesman for the rest of my life, I don't enjoy it. I did however love helping customers who really wanted to learn photography. I was lucky to have caring co-workers who were pretty laid back. This was good, but now it's time for something new and right now that means really focusing on all the photo work I need to get done. So time to book it up!

Prego Mary Morris!

2009-05-08T02:14:00.003-04:00

"So, a maternity photo, to me, isn’t about the belly. It’s about the place in time of the woman who is pregnant." -Zack Arias. I completely agree with his statement. I'm not much of a maternity shooter. Although I did get some shots of her belly in the photos, I never really focused on just trying to show her actual belly but rather try and capture the joy of her life now while she is pregnant. That's my take on it, I don't think I'll be hit up for much maternity jobs in the future, but heck I'll take them if people like them! This is my friend Mary, she's very prego at the moment and will be due next month! She's a beautiful girl and will raise a beautiful gentleman and gentle man. I DO know this. More photos up on the Flickr.

OH! And my AlienBee/Vagabond II came today! Stoked! Pocket Wizards tomorrow.

Mike And Liz Peacock Wedding.

2009-05-07T11:00:00.002-04:00

I posted some photos I shot from Mike and Liz's wedding from last April. It was a great day and we came out with some nice images that I really enjoy. I also announced underneath the photos the new wedding site/blog I will be putting up this month under www.brian-hall.net. It's not a big deal, but I just wanted to have a separate site since wedding photography doesn't fit too much with the work that will be posted on my www.brianhallphotography.net site this month as well. Go check these photos out on flickr.

OH! and my AlienBee, Vagabond II, AND POSSIBLY my Pocket Wizards are coming today! soooo stoked!

Alien Bees & Pocket Wizards.

2009-05-06T13:28:00.003-04:00

So I finally did it and purchased an AlienBee B1600 with the Vagabond II Power Pack and 2 Pocket Wizard Transceivers. I have been learning a ton of new lighting techniques but also have a few of my own that I can't wait to try out. You will most likely see me everywhere in the next few weeks as I test out these babes on location. If you want to come out and join me DO IT! I don't mind sharing. I am really excited to see how my photography will grow in the next few weeks.

Anna Sarkisian: Take Two.

2009-04-28T02:06:00.002-04:00

I shot with a friend today, who many of you have seen before in my work, Anna Sarkisian (as seen in the header above). Recently her and I have been able to hang out a little more and now I am planning on some really fun work involving her. There is another shot on my flickr so go check it out. There will be a few more later.

One Light Workshop DVD.

2009-04-24T14:39:00.011-04:00

Buy it. Watch it. Learn it. And be dope! Seriously, Zack's information is not only spot on and valuable, but essential to using lighting in your photographs. So yeah, go buy it here.

April 18th and 19th (Yesterday and Today)

2009-04-19T10:36:00.004-04:00

Yesterday I worked with Marc and Zack Arias on a Indian Wedding in Stone Mountain National Park. It was a really amazing experience, pretty long, but extremely worth it. Indian weddings are really great and enjoyable. There almost is always something to shoot that makes for a good photo. I am stoked to see what Marc and Zack came out with.

I watched part of Zack's One Light Workshop last night. I was beyond tired to really pay any attention, but I am stoked to really get into it. I'm really looking forward to studying up and getting solid with lighting. Zack is not only an awesome photographer but a sick dude as well. He is a very helpful guy so I suggest to also check out his work on his websites; Used Film, Zack Arias, and Blog.

I am at the Bridal Show with Marc at the Westin right now. The turn out is ok, but not was claimed to be expected. I'm so tired I can barely see straight right now. I'm hoping Marc can get a few weddings off this show. In no offense towards any other wedding photographers, but Marc's work is some of THE best I have seen, whether it be at these Bridal Shows or just around the internet or magazines. If you view all of his work, it's so consistent, so well seen, and so well lit. Plus he does not have to spend hours in PS to make them look good or interesting.

Tea Party Protest.

2009-04-16T23:50:00.004-04:00

Yesterday, April 15th, 2009 was the first official Anti-Tax Tea Party. People gathered to protest the government's overspending and unconstitutional acts. I unfortunately had arrived late and had to leave earlier than expected, but what I saw was truly inspiring. There were people of all ages, from children to elderly, all races, different political parties, and more. It was great to see over 20,000 people come out to support something together. I will be posting more photos on the flickr soon.

Easter/Resurrection Day.

2009-04-14T00:20:00.005-04:00

This Easter was an amazing one. I was very happy to just be with my family at my home with incredible weather. I wasn't just happy, but completely filled with joy. My nephew brings me to life more than I can say. I forget all the stupid things I worry about when he is here. Spending time with him, my sis and bro-in-law, and watching them grow as a family is mind blowing. He's one of the best things that has ever happened to our family. My parents want more lil' ones so yeah, I'll find that Beauty and hopefully beget a beauty like this son.

My Family (plus Carrie and Terry, minus my brother Josh)

Wedding Shoot With Marc Climie.

2009-04-05T02:00:00.004-04:00

I came down to St. Simons Island/Jekyll Island to help Marc Climie with a wedding. It has been a great experience. As all weddings are, it was a long day, but I learned a bunch and even got to shoot around the last half of the Reception. This place is beautiful and since I am staying an extra night tonight, I am going to spend the day tomorrow shooting a little and maybe even get some beach time in. Ashley Langford was Marc's second photographer for the wedding and the dude is one sick photographer. It was great to meet another great photographer and person. I learned a lot today. I'm stoked to see how their photos come out and hope I can snatch some good ones before I head out tomorrow. If you are in the area or know someone who wouldn't mind modeling. Let me know cause I would love to fit a person in on this.

Meghan Adams.

2009-04-01T13:01:00.005-04:00

I photographed Meghan Adams on Monday. She's a great girl and I am really happy with how the photos came out. You can check out my Flickr to see 5 of many that I will be posting. Go tell me what you think and all that good stuff.

The Time Between.

2009-03-28T00:18:00.003-04:00

Backing up my hard drive is going to take longer than I thought. A 500GB Transfer is an all day event yet I have started tonight. Of course I have not just highlighted everything and drug it over, no, I'm doing the smart thing and transferring little by little (little meaning a lot butt load of files but not in huge increments to cut down on the event of error or interruption). I aim to have all files backed up by Sunday night, it's a very likely happening, so no worries.

I am bummed I was not able to shoot for my own pleasure at all over "break" if you could consider this a break. I worked almost every day and the two days I had off no one was available for a shoot, subjects that is. Apathy about got the best of me, but it is ok, I will make time and continue to plug away during the next quarter. Once I get the Marc Climie's calendar, shoots will start filling in my free time.

Speaking of Marc, I am interning with Marc Climie this quarter. I'm beyond stoked and start Sunday! Marc already seems like a great guy, everyone talks so highly about him, so I cannot wait to see what is store and what all I will learn. 7th Quarter, Here I come.

Picking Up Essentials.

2009-03-24T15:47:00.007-04:00

I just purchased the Western Digital 1TB Hard Drive. I have been meaning to buy one for some time now and it has been stupid of me to wait so long, but I just recently have been able to start purchasing the things I need to have before my Photography Program ends. For those of you needing to do as I need to do and back up your photos, files, etc. etc. go to B&H to get this bad boy for only $149.95 with NO TAX AND FREE SHIPPING. I compared it with many different places and this is the best deal I found.

College Algebra.

2009-03-21T02:12:00.005-04:00

FINAL GRADE

76.4

I couldn't be happier with that. So long Math Classes, I hope to never grace your presence again.

Hello 50D.

2009-03-19T00:58:00.004-04:00

I was able to purchase my Second and now Main Camera this week, the Canon 50D. Can anyone say HECK YES!? I would love a full frame, but as of right now, it is not practical for me to have due to lack of lenses and being in need of a second camera with more weddings coming up. I am completely satisfied with my decision and sooo stoked to get it dirty. This camera's clarity and image detail is phenomenal. The only thing now, is to get more 4GB cards because the 2GB's cards aren't gonna cut it for this one.

USA Network's Character Project.

2009-03-14T17:35:00.003-04:00

USA sent out 11 acclaimed photographers in the summer of 2008. From my understanding it's to celebrate the characters that make up America and is apart of the whole "Character's Welcome" theme that USA has going on. I thought I heard something about there being a presentation on TV, but I'm not sure about that. I just thought my fellow photographers would be interested in this. Maybe we will see some classmates apart of something like this one day.

Section D for Portfolio.

2009-03-09T00:45:00.002-04:00

This is my Section D. I have a few more shots of it where you can tell it's a wine glass, but I liked this one a tad bit more. I'm not sure if she's going to like it, but hey I tried. This was a quick edit, but hopefully it's good enough so when I go in to print, there will just be minor adjustments.

First 4x5 Portrait.

2009-03-03T23:32:00.003-05:00

This is my brother Matt once again. This was my first attempt at a 4x5 Portrait. I love shallow depth on portraits so I shot pretty open. I was happy to see it came out sharp, I'm stoked to start trying chrome portraits!

NO SCHOOL!!!!

2009-03-02T11:13:00.003-05:00

NO SCHOOL!

And my 100th post. Woot. hahaha.

Snow Day!

2009-03-01T17:42:00.005-05:00

I didn't believe anyone who said it was going to snow today..... yeeeeaah, I was wrong. It is so insane outside. This is my brother Matt, we went out to shoot. I hope school is cancelled for two reasons: 1. To shoot my location with snow! 2. So I have extra days to study for my math test. I doubt it will be so I'm either going to get a lab suspension or turn in the Camulet before I get a chance to snap the shots. We'll see. Anyways, I'll have more up on my flickr later today.

WWW.GTCPHOTO.WORDPRESS.COM

2009-03-01T00:08:00.004-05:00

So I just changed the Gwinnett Tech Photography Blog. Everyone needs to go check it out, add it, link it, give more ideas for it, etc. etc. It was just a simple change to make it a little more interesting and welcoming. I think I just dislike blog quality, because the banner is not at all a good quality, but the file itself is... trust me, I had to spend a lot of time just trying to get the parameters right. "750x250 exact banner" my butt! it's definitely 750x241 pixels. Anyways, I also found that I can't customize anything unless we buy the "Custom Upgrade Package blah blah blah" Which is entirely stupid, but I will do what I can with what we have until the teachers look at and agree to upgrade that. I don't think we should have to pay for it, but if we do, it could be a little fun. Ok, so go check it out and all that jazz.

4x5 Struggles.

2009-02-28T15:17:00.004-05:00

So I'm not the best at shooting Commercial. I think it could be a lot of fun, but I never have time to really prepare for it, to really find that inspiring image that I want to capture. This is my jewelry shot, it was fun, but lighting is just never as simple as it seems. I had too much strobe spill, I corrected it a lot in Photoshop, but it still will need to be redone.

I am, however, excited to get some portraits done this weekend with the 4x5, plus my location shot. I'm more excited about the portraits. Who wants to help remind me how to develop B&W 4x5's?

PLEASE READ: ABOUT FACEBOOK

2009-02-25T16:04:00.003-05:00

ATTENTION:

To those of you trying to add me on FACEBOOK... I DO NOT HAVE A FACEBOOK NOR AM I GOING TO GET ONE. I just don't want to be sent a whole bunch of these emails telling me to confirm people. Sorry, but I just don't want another excuse to be on the computer or on the internet.

Thanks.

Photography School.

2009-02-25T00:05:00.005-05:00

Or Dance School?

Just another day.

Emma Livergood At Pike Nurseries.

2009-02-22T02:14:00.003-05:00

Today I had a shoot with my good friend Emma. She's a beautiful girl with a beautiful heart and just an amazing subject at that. Go to my flickr and check out some of the photos I got done from today. I have plenty more coming, not to mention how you will see her a good bit more in the near future. Today was overall an awesome day, the only problem is that my car broke down, which means it's back to the shop it goes. It is ok, just building character I guess.

Lighting Fun.

2009-02-19T23:05:00.003-05:00

Tonight I thought I would have a few minutes of fun and try some new lighting techniques. It's nothing too great but I thought it would be fun. I think that maybe instead of PhotoWalks all of the time, we can choose a location and all work on our lighting skills? Could be fun and a good learning experience for everyone, not only to take the shot, but also to learn how to set it up fast and accurate. Just a thought.

Color And Importance.

2009-02-19T12:24:00.005-05:00

So, I took this shot back during my second quarter for my final four. I couldn't use it because it had people in it. I like it as a black & white, but I really like the red from the chairs so we'll see if I can use this for color for my porfolio. It's on my flickr if you want to see a better version since blogger's quality is not good.

IMPORTANT: (again) I am going to be posting this a lot because I will be needing this soon. I am needing to buy a second camera as soon as possible. I would love to get a good deal on an original 5D, but if I can't find one for $1,500 or less, I am going to have to stick to the 50D/40D/30D to buy to last me till the end of school, because I need to invest in some L series lenses. So, if anyone could help me out, if you hear about a good deal, see one, or have one! Let me know and it would be much appreciated.

Real Hope Fest On Flickr.

2009-02-18T12:32:00.008-05:00

Alcina

A bunch of Real Hope Fest photos are on my Flickr now. Check them out, tell me what you think, etc. etc.

IMPORTANT: If anyone has a 5D, 50D, 40D, or even 30D for sale I am looking to purchase a second camera. I need it as soon as possible. Requirements: Overall to be in excellent or good condition, sensor must be in excellent condition, preferably under 10,000 frames shot, under 20,000 is still acceptable.

Real Hope Finally.

2009-02-13T12:50:00.004-05:00

Mankind

I have finally been able to get on the Real Hope Fest Photos I shot in November. I have been super busy between school, work, and other photo jobs to sit down with all of these photos. I am am almost done with them all, I am really just finishing up some final touches and trying to get them all organized. Because there was so many bands, I got confused who played for what band haha. I will be posting a bunch more on Flickr in the next two days.

I'm not sure if there is going to be a PhotoWalk this week. I haven't been able to think about it so if I could get some help from others who may want to plan it, that'd be great.

Photo Walk Number Four.

2009-02-08T11:03:00.003-05:00

I've been kind of swamped and I have tried to think about this PhotoWalk but honestly I've had no time. This is what I came up with, park at Atlantic Station, it's cheap and explore down West Peachtree and Peachtree Street. There are tons of stuff all around that part of Atlanta so it should be fun. Here's a google map of 17th Street. So just link yourself to it. Start time, let's say 3:00PM. Ok, I hope that's cool with everyone.

Of The vine Promos Up.

2009-02-07T01:04:00.003-05:00

Of The Vine's Promos are up on my Flickr now so go check them out! I'm sorry I haven't posted about the walk on Sunday, I've had not much time to think about it. Right now I think down West Peachtree St. and Peachtree Street would be great to head down. We could start from Atlantic Station if we can't find any good parking lots that are free or inexpensive. Check back tomorrow for directions.

Have Heart At MJQ.

2009-02-05T01:56:00.005-05:00

Here's something for Ryan (and everyone else) since he's always posting music that he enjoys listening to while he edits his sick material. This is Have Heart (the sickest band out of Boston in my own opinion) live here in Atlanta at the MJQ. Great video to give you a taste of the Atlanta Hardcore scene.

Wedding Photography.

2009-02-05T01:25:00.005-05:00

I finally got some of my wedding material up on Flickr. I know, it took me long enough, but they are up there so check them out. This was my first wedding back last June. I have some newer work coming up soon that I am excited about. I now have more knowledge and ideas to put forth to the future weddings I shoot so that makes it all the more exciting. I'm hoping to get enough work between promotional shoots, weddings, and any other work I get to pay for all the new gear I hope to attain in the very very near future and also help me give back what has so graciously been given to me.

P-to-the-S: PhotoWalk Sunday the 8th of February! Looks like it's going to be a big turn out so keep checking back for the information about it!

Math... Math.

2009-02-04T17:11:00.002-05:00

I hate when I get inspired and I am just sitting here in Math. Geeeeez Louise!

Factory Fire off North Ave.

2009-01-29T01:29:00.004-05:00

Tonight on the way home from Denis Reggie's place, I happen to catch a factory off North Ave. on fire. It was on the Corner of North Ave. and Somerset Terrace. I'm guessing it was the old Dixie Seal & Stamp Factory that caught fire once before. I caught it around 6:00, so it might have been going on for 10 to 15 minutes before I got there. It was blazing out of the back of the factory, which made it extremely hard to see from the roads closest to the building. They're nothing great, but it was quite the scene.

Denis Reggie.

2009-01-28T00:54:00.003-05:00

Please take a second to look at the other Mrs. Harkin's (Joyce) to the right of this photo. ;)

Here's some photos from the joyous day of learning at Denis Reggie's workshop. I can honestly say I learned a great bit and am, once again, stoked for tomorrow's session. We learned about "foofing" which is bouncing light, but with style. I understand now, why and how Denis Reggie has taken Wedding Photography to a whole new level and carried it as far as he has. I am truly honored to be able to be apart of this workshop. Not to mention, his team has to be the coolest staff out there and the food is disgustingly... amazing! Oh and the group attending the workshop are some of the nicest people, this has been a great experience.
This is Clara Chambers, one of Denis' second shooters. She is such an awesome gal who knows how to show some great southern hospitality with sweet tea and letting us blind her with our flashes. She is a really great photographer, so check out her work here.

Photo Walk Number Three.

2009-01-25T22:32:00.003-05:00

Today we had our Third Official PhotoWalk on the East Side of Atlanta. It was a success if I do say so myself. We found some really good treasure that would be considered the resident's junk, like couches and your every day good ol' recliner. It was a little bit shorter this time, but we'll have plenty more so no worries about time constraints. I'm stoked to get the rest of Walk Two and Three and even One up soon. See you on the next PhotoWalk!

Photo Walkin' Atlanta 2009 Number Three.

2009-01-24T22:10:00.006-05:00

Tomorrow is another PhotoWalk. Yes, third one this week. I am not any kind of coordinator or organizer, so I haven't contacted everyone, made concrete meeting times or places, etc. etc. All I've done is made, what I think, is this cool invite info thing! So that means this isn't some organized that we're doing here. Because I'm sure there are going to be many walks that I won't make, but I will try to help out as much as I can. So anywho! From the talk I had with Ryan, the sounding plan will be to meet around 2:30PM - 3:00PM in East Atlanta. The best place to park in East Atlanta is down Moreland Ave. in the Kroger/Barnes&Noble/Target Parking lot, because it is huge and free and in East Atlanta. For directions CLICK HERE! This is coming from the North Ave. exit, Exit 249D I believe. If you come late, just give one of us a call. If you don't have our numbers, comment one of us or email us. My email address is: mrbrianh@gmail.com. When we meet, we will then split up into groups and explore the Eastside of Atlanta. We'll probably end up meeting back up after a while to see what we got and decide if we feel like going anywhere else, go home, or go eat! I'm stoked, so I hope to see a bunch of you come out.

Oh, and in other news, Miss Georgia was 1st Runner Up for Miss America! Whoop Whoop! She's smokin' man.

Film, Good To Get Back To.

2009-01-24T13:12:00.006-05:00

So, I developed two rolls of Color Film today at work. This shot is from the Kodak Portra 400 roll. The colors and detail came out real nice. The other roll of FujiFilm 400 came out pretty nice as well. This shot is similar to a photo I shot for my first final four, which reminds me that I need to post some of those shots. Well, more film to come from another Color roll, some Tri-X, and T-Max.

Kevin "King Dirty" Dowling.

2009-01-24T01:02:00.006-05:00

My friend and fellow photographer, Kevin Dowling, is one of the sickest photographers in Atlanta. He's not only a great guy but a great photographer with fresh ideas and a strong desire for inspiration. Every time I have conversations with Kevin, we end up deep into hopes for this world and for what we can change with our photography. I am stoked to see where he goes in the world of photography. Check out his blog and his flickr.

Photo Walk Number Two.

2009-01-24T00:49:00.005-05:00

Photo Walk Atlanta Number Two was another success. I have gone through a good bit of what I got today and I am pretty stoked on them. I have scouted tons of new spots that I can bring some bands and models back to. Sunday is the next walk I believe. We have not discussed it thoroughly yet, but we're thinking Sunday afternoon, East Atlanta.

Two things I have realized these past two walks. The 30D's noise is becoming a bigger problem and I need to re-calibrate my monitor. Again, exciting things are happening in the PhotoWorld. Get stoked!

Possible Photo Walkin' Tomorrow!

2009-01-23T00:32:00.003-05:00

Possible Photo Walk Tomorrow guys and gals! Get in touch with one of us and we'll let you know the official area that we will be shooting at. We will most likely be heading out around 1:00 after those of us who have a class tomorrow get back from our "Field Trip". REMEMBER: This isn't just for photo students, this is for anyone that just wants to hang out and have the chance to grow as a photographer by getting out there and shooting your heart out. STOKED, WHAT!

More from Tuesday!

2009-01-23T00:22:00.003-05:00

I'm still sifting through all of the photos from Tuesday and I'm enjoying it a lot. I am stoked about everything that is happening in the PhotoWorld lately. Check out some of the photos from Jessica's, Kevin's, and Ryan's Flickrs. Oh! And film photos are coming super soon as well.

Inauguration Day/First Official Photo Walk.

2009-01-22T01:21:00.004-05:00

Another photo from yesterday's Day of Photography downtown. This was after the Inauguration when we decided to head out and spend the day just snapping everything. We came across a man named... Carl? I think I remember him saying. He was on the street corner advertising for a Bank. This homeless man came up to him and Kevin and the guy literally gave him his jacket, that leather one right there because the man had no coat (and you know it was too cold yesterday). It was such a generous and inspiring moment. I can't wait to see the shots Kevin got of these guys. Mo' commin' on da flickAH!

Inauguration Day for Barak Obama in Atlanta.

2009-01-21T00:21:00.004-05:00

At first I was really bummed my plans fell through for going to D.C.... But after today, I am very glad I did not go. The experience in Centennial Olympic Park was great, it was beautiful to see all the emotions. But the experience that really made the day was just getting to spend time with a few great people. Kevin Dowling, Ryan Tyrl, Jessica Elliott, and I spent the whole rest of the day shooting in downtown in the freezing cold weather. Ryan summed up everything fairly nice so check out his post about it. Also Jessica will be posting a video from on the way back to our cars from Marta... it was a trip. I will post more about it tomorrow because it was an experience I'll remember for the rest of my life. I know it sounds corny, but they are some great people and amazing photographers. I'm stoked about what is to come. Now, I need rest because almost everything attached to my body hurts.

A little update on the website. It's not up yet but I have been working on it. And I just needed to get that old index page updated. Check it.

Bob Kolbrener at the Fay Gold Gallery.

2009-01-07T17:36:00.003-05:00

I was trying upload a photo of the Gallery in math but it wouldn't upload, but I'm going to try and head down to the Fay Gold Gallery once my math class ends. But! it's 5:41 AND IT'S STILL NOT OVER!!! And it starts at 6:00. It's a Bob Kolbrener Exhibit and I'm stoked to see it since he worked with Ansel Adams.

Lately.

2009-01-07T15:01:00.003-05:00

Besides getting back in the groove of school I am trying to fit a video project in between everything. These are some of the shots I took down in the rather large trailer park community of Lakeview Estates. It is the largest Hispanic Trailer Park in the Southeast. The video is to provide awareness of the unlivable conditions in the community and what needs to be done by volunteers for the community and the local church. I will have more information coming soon.

Of The Vine Promos.

2009-01-01T23:22:00.004-05:00

I just shot some promos with the band Of The Vine. These are some of the greatest and most humble dudes out there. Their music is beautiful and I cannot imagine the places they are going to go. I have only uploaded this photo on Flickr, but I will be uploading a bunch more once I get them all edited. Mo' stuff comin'. 'Lotta love for 2009.

Upper Quarter Portfolio Show DONE!

2008-12-22T01:33:00.004-05:00

DONE!!! Yes, they are done! I told you I would get them done. So if you want a DVD with all of the images let me know. I will give them out to whoever wants them. Excuse me, I need to go prove John wrong and burn him a disk.

Photojournalism Final.

2008-12-17T13:34:00.002-05:00

I now have my Photojournalism Final uploaded in Full Quality. I cannot upload it to Youtube or on here, due to certain images I cannot display. But, I do have a secure link so if you want to watch it, contact me on here or through email. Leave me your email address and I will send you the link. I know it sounds stupid, but I have to respect those that respected me.

Remember Google Search?

2008-12-16T18:09:00.005-05:00

So at the beginning of our Multimedia 2 we were talking about having our blogs being listed on Google Search. If your name is common, which Brian Hall Photography seems to have a few takers, then the first listed is the one with the most hits (or something like that). Well within a few short months, this blog is now number 4 when looking up Brian Hall Photography on Google search. BUT you want to know the kicker?...

www.brianhallphotography.net is STILL number 1, yes numero uno, on the Google Search. So yes, my goal is to own the first two spots. So keep going to... the index page of my "one day, soon to be, coming in the future of this galaxy, updated version" website and my new growing blog!

Here Right Now!

2008-12-10T13:52:00.003-05:00

We're here right now about to witness an awesome interview with Gregory Heisler. I'm so stoked right now and ready to soak in all that I can. More photos and videos to come!

Multimedia 2 Final.

2008-12-10T13:35:00.004-05:00

NEW VIDEO COMIN'
This is my Multimedia 2 Final. It could have been better, meaning I'm going to go back and redo, if not for a grade, for myself. This was a fun class and will continue to update this as much as I can.

Finishing Up.

2008-12-10T12:29:00.002-05:00

I'm finishing up some last minute stuff for school. I'm really ready for a break. This is Augusta again. She's going to be plastered all over my site and possibly portfolio. She's such a good subject so I thought I would post another shot of her.

Gregory Heisler Today.

2008-12-10T10:30:00.004-05:00

World renowned photographer Gregory Heisler is coming to speak at Gwinnett Technical College today. This is an amazing opportunity to learn and grow as a photographer by being able to ask questions and get answers straight from the horse's mouth. Gregory Heisler has made 70 Time Magazine covers. This is a great year to at Gwinnett Tech.

Portrait Finals.

2008-12-09T19:31:00.004-05:00

We turned in our portrait finals today. I was happy with how mine came out and really appreciated the comments. I'm stoked for next quarter and getting into what will be going in our portfolios and really being pushed to get the best images we can produce at this current stage. Everyone did a good job today, it's impressive how far everyone has come.
