There is this person I like to call my best friend. There is a reason this girl is my best friend. We’ve had all sorts of weird adventures together. We’ve gone to literary camp together, made midnight excursions to fire pits, and lots more. She is one of my favorite people in the whole wide world. So I dragged her along on a photoshoot and the picture above is one result.
Thanks Beth. =]
I’ve had this picture in my mind for at least a week now. I didn’t know how to finish it and I’m still unsure that it is finished. I would appreciate constructive criticism. So far this is a composite with four images in it. I’m not so sure but I like it so far. =]
I went to the beach today. It was cold, wet, and rainy but that didn’t stop me from walking in the surf anyway. Last night I went to the beach after dark. It was awesome. The wind was SUPER strong and that was all you could hear but it was still amazing. I needed that feeling of being totally not in control, surrounded by the sea. It washes away all bad feelings from the turmoil in my life at the moment.
Today was my official portfolio review. In honor of the images my teachers selected, I made a slide show specifically for your viewing pleasure. YES YOU!!!! You right there. It’s only fifty nine seconds long. I’m sure you have fifty nine seconds to spare. =]
Everyone has moments. Those little pauses in life that make you stop and think. I had a moment today. I was walking into my house when i looked through a window I always look through but never really pay attention to. It’s usually just a dirty window but today my kitten Mia was sitting there. I guess it was just the flash of color but I suddenly wanted that picture. So I went inside and got my camera. There was a brief skirmish while I attempted to get her back in that perfect position but eventually I made it back outside and got the picture. Huzzah!
Today I went out shooting with Ana and Twitty. It was a rather successful day! I’d love to fill this post with a lot of witty banter but unfortunately I am mourning the loss of my glasses. This morning I was feeling a little lazy so I wore my glasses instead of contacts like I usually do. Twitty, Taylor, and I went out this afternoon for another little photoshoot. I was sitting on a slanted rock above a river. I took my glasses off and set them beside me. Whenever I looked back they had left me. They abandoned their owner for a more exciting life in a river. I don’t really blame them. On the bright side, I didn’t die driving back to my house without glasses!
Today was finally the day when the parody shoot took place. Ally, Ana, Twitty, and I all dressed up as someone else. Before I go on I must say that Parody is an extremely misleading word. Everytime I look at it I get confused because it doesn’t look like I spelled it wrong, but I digress. Today was amazing because this shoot wasn’t for a grade. We did it because we wanted to and it was all the better!
Today I went everywhere. The picture above is one of the most interesting from the day. This was taken at a cemetery inside the mausoleum. I liked the reflection and the light streaming though the window was shining just on this plot. Tomorrow Ana, Ally, and I will be doing a “parody” shoot. We get to be different celebrities. Ana is going to be Lara Croft. Ally is going to be Betty Boop and I will be playing Lady Gaga.
