more finals?

Yeah, way more actually. I took a few shots the past few days that I would really love to share with you- so here it goes.


This is my "home depot" shot - I love it, but that's just me.

This is my warm on cool shot - thanks again Taylor for being an amazing model!

Three shots left! Self portrait is up next :D

Finals

The past two weeks we have all been working crazy hours on our final assignments for phase 1 and I am very happy to report that I'm halfway done! I wanted to share with you all what I've done so far and hopefully get some of you to model for my last few shots ;)


Here are a few :


Frozen Motion

 Product in an environment that "makes sense" haha

Black and white portrait of my hand - this might be reshot, I'm not sure yet

The shots I have left include:

My self portrait

Outside B&W portrait

Warm on Warm portrait expressing emotion

If anyone reading this in the area would like to model for any of these pictures let me know! If you aren't a student, you will get a print for free :D

Pressure

You would think that I would be feeling this immense amount of pressure this week but really, it's just not there. Maybe that means that I am not dedicated enough or maybe that I am just too relaxed of a person, who knows. Today was a great day either way though - I got to work with the lovely Kayly Orr (of no relation to John Orr, whoever that is) and we knocked this portrait assignment out! Here are the great results - I hope you enjoy them :)

Thanks Kayly and Justin for helping me catch up from being sick! I think these turned out really successful...now it's time to work on the final for phase 1! ahh! 

Have a great Sunday everyone, GO BILLS!

NYC oh dear.

It was a rough trip but I survived and still have an ongoing, life time lasting love for the greatest city in this whole entire universe. NYC always delivers in the giggles tho, including this spectacular man (name unknown) who was so kindly yelling at all the people walking by, letting them know how corrupt our generation is, as if we didn't previously know that as human kind develops, so does our perverse nature etc (I find myself enjoying these facts about my generation, it keeps things fresh) but yes, I happened to snap a quality image of our new friend - I think he's someone to watch out for on the tv priest circuit ;)

These are the other pictures I took while roaming Times Square with my friends Eduardo, Sabrina and Kayla - We saw some interesting things that night, all of these images below were shot at my hip level or slightly higher, I didn't see any of them til the train ride back that night - gotta love street photography :)

 The next two images are my favorite of the night. I love the red in the stairs and the clarity of the reflections!

 World Champs - quit the hatin' ;)

The next two are "typical" new york shots but I really enjoy them.

 This is the Path train system that goes from Manhattan to Hoboken NJ and back - SUPER convenient!

 And with that, readers, I must go work on my Phase One final - have a good one :)
