College Algebra.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!

NO SCHOOL!

And my 100th post. Woot. hahaha.

Snow Day!

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.

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.

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

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.

Or Dance School?

Just another day.

Emma Livergood At Pike Nurseries.

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.
