Howl-o-Ween

This past weekend I went to the Doguroo festival in Central Park in Atlantic Station.  I got alot of good shots and hopefully a "feature" image, but also entered my dogs Marley and Bella in a costume contest. They were dressed as a pimp and a ho. We didn't win, but it was alot of fun and they did great walking the runway.

Low Key Picks

Here are two of the low key assignment photos that Mrs. Harkins picked.  I took the one of Amanda in the mask to test the lights and didn't think it would be one that was picked but Mrs. Harkins liked it alot.   The other photos if of my friend Lindsey who was my model for this shoot.  You never know what they are going to choose!

Fill Flash

For our next assignment in Photojournalism, we are going to be using our flash to fill the photo.  I found this article on Canon's website that has some great tips on how to use your fill flash effectively to get the correct exposure. 

Halloween at School

Halloween is almost here so Amanda, Damian and I decided to dress like our teachers and come to school. I dressed like Kim Harkins, Amanda like Sheri Finch and Damian like David Jones.  Thanks to Jeremy for this image, I think we did a good job!!  hahahahaha!!!

Empire State Building lights up in honor of the The Grateful Dead

Legendary jamband icons The Grateful Dead were honored Monday night by "tie-dying " the top of the Empire State Building . The building-topping lights, and hopefully not your minds, were altered in celebration of the upcoming exhibit at the New-York Historical Society .

More feature photos

This Saturday I am going down to Atlantic Station  to get photos of the Doguroo festival.  This event benefits the Atlanta Humane Society .  I am looking for my "feature" photo and this should be a great place to capture that.  I am going to enter my pups Marley and Bella in the dog costume contest.  They are going dressed as a pimp and ho dog, wish us luck!

Flyer is ready!

The holiday portrait flyer is ready, its time to advertise!  Damian and his team did an awesome job on this, the color is perfect for our set!  Way to go guys!!!

Construction has begun!

We have started work on the holiday portrait set.  My group is in charge of setting up the waiting room and all the decorations.  Our theme is Dr. Suess and its going to be a great background for these holiday photos!  Please come out and get your photo starting on November 12th.  Big thanks to Lisa and Amanda for doing a great job getting our team organized.  

Studio Lighting

In this Photography program, we are learning how to light our subjects and take our photos to the next level.  In order to move to the next level, you should be looking at which kind of lighting you will need to purchase to make your images successful.  I found this article on photo.net on how to choose studio lighting.  This is very helpful for me because I will need to purchase my own lighting in order to be a better photographer.

A Different Kind of Photography

I came across photographer Chris Jordan and was fascinated by his work.  He goes into the deeper side of life and shows the vast and bizarre measures of our society.  The above photo was part of his series called Running with Numbers which looks at American culture through the austere lens of statistics.  This photo of Snoopy and Charlie Brown depicts ten thousand dog and cat collars, which is equal to the average number of unwanted dogs and cats euthanized every day.  It was assembled by thousands of other photographs.
