Pawling Cycle

I just got these up from Sunday's Pawling Cycle Race. It was a nice crowd to shoot, but I wish I could say the same about metering a crazy intense mid-day sun and shadows. Though after an awkward sunburn, four hours in a car with no air conditioning, dirt covering my dress; it was completely worth it. My SD card was STUFFED with knock out shots. I have to edit my 600+ in between classes and job hunting now. It's no wonder you need to be a bit nuts to be in an art field.

Many more are to come soon, and I will be creating an image store of my shots if anyone was interested in previewing and/or purchasing a print.

Transformation

Some days I model, other days I'm Carmen Miranda.

more portraits

Our lighting presentation in my Photography Basic class ending up being a spontaneous photoshoot. I was the only one in class with any experience with lighting or portraits, so everyone let me control the lights and the set up the entire time. I love how theatrical these turned out.

Portraits

I finally was able to use some of my portrait skills for my Intro to Digital class at FIT. Brandon was an awesome model. I love working in a studio with studio lighting. I think the one in the middle with the motion blur in hysterical, and totally him and his sense of humor. How come your test shots come out the best sometimes?

Baby You're A Firework

I had a wonderful 4th of July, hung out with David for most of it. I got some great shots of the fireworks in Roselle Park NJ. I only wish I was able to find a firework show near by that wasn't on the 4th so I could have two firework shows I could shoot. Maybe I'll shoot some more on a Friday Night in Coney Island this summer.

I love all the independent stuff I'm doing now. My photoshop skills have greatly increased lately. I hope I just keep improving and learning.

Soho Grand Hotel, Artists on the Brink.

Awesome set by my friend Spiff Wiegand. I shot some photos and the lack of flash gave them a rich painterly feel.
