Randomness

More random work. I liked the leaf with the light playing across. The viewfinder was me trying to do something different while taking a break during a long school day.

Working With Wood

Here is my final project for John's multimedia class. We had to do an interview with an interesting person and make a sound slide. Many thanks to Charley for being the subject of this project.

Dessert Redo

I wasn't happy with the cheesecake shot labeled dessert. The shot wasn't tight enough and I didn't like the placement of the fork or wine glass. Chuck wasn't happy either, based on the grade he gave me so we both decided I should "revisit" this assignment. After a few tears, and almost some blood(papercut) here is the one we both were happy with.

The purpose was to convey a sense of time and place and in a way tell a story.

The stats:

Icon Assignment

Our class had to put together an iconic image assignment. We were to use a new photograph and make a business card and postcard to represent ourselves. Here is the postcard, the business card is under construction for the moment.

Chuck

Yes, another portrait of Chuck. Talk about a nerve racking assignment, having to photograph your instructor. Things went ok, except that he liked to move around...always out of the hair light.

Out of Date

I found some old Kodak bw400cn 35mm rolls laying around. They were probably a year out of date when I shot them.

Que hora?

Our commercial class had to photograph jewelry for one of our latest projects. I used my pocket watch and shot it with a Sinar F1 4x5 with Kodak E100g film.

Fall

I finally got around to scanning some negatives from fall. Here are some random film and digital images from around the area

Tourism @ Biltmore

This was a shot for James' advertising photography class. This was designed to be a photo that could be used for the Board of Tourism.

Mmm Mmm Cheesecake

Here is a sample of some cheesecake I shot on my group project with Kathryn and Allison.

Photoshoot @ Deep River

I dropped by Deep River in Randleman to watch Christy and Will shoot their joint project. Jackie was letting them use Pixel as their model.















He's getting Pixel's attention.










The lioness

Dessert

My first assignment of the new semester was dessert. This shot was apparently "too clean" for Chuck; everything was too evenly spaced(which you would expect at a nice restaurant). I'll be redoing this shot though. We had to use digital backs and all I had available to use was the Phase One back on the Hasselblad so I couldn't get close enough to show off the cheesecake and I had too much depth of field for my taste. This should be redone within a couple weeks depending on our joint project.

A Walk In The Park

I took a leisurely stroll through the park the other day and loved the afternoon light.

Viewpoint Projects

Working at Viewpoint gave me the opportunity to light sets and photograph furniture on a daily basis. Here are a few of the shots I did while I was there.

Fun @ Viewpoint

Jonathan and I were busy pretty much the whole time at Viewpoint. We did have one day before Christmas break where we could work on personal shots.

Taking some time to catch up on reading.












Mr. Andrews in his Sunday hat.














Umm...I put the light where? :-0













I'm trying out the rise assist chair.

Pet portraits

I love dogs, so here are some portraits of my family's dogs. These are a few I have, there are a couple pets in the family I still have to photograph.

Random

Here are a couple random things I've been working on lately. There were no goals in mind, just seeing where my random wanderings take me.

Night Photography

So I started out doing night photography a lot when I started RCC because I worked 40 hrs a week and only had time to shoot at night. I haven't doneany really since I quit that job so I've done more
since working on my internship. I'm a little rusty at it, but here is what I have lately...
