This is such a great idea, I have been hearing and thinking about this 'wedding/party' live photo booth a lot lately! I want to do it!!!

The Fall and the Flood
As I drove to Fry's to buy more paper for open lab I found this abandoned movie theater and in the parking lot i discovered something beautiful...
playing around...
This image is polarized... kinda like it. Never really played around with this level of photoshopping, maybe I should start hanging around that cooper boy some more!

Good Times with the 4x5
I had to take this picture for my intro to portraiture class. It was an 'environmental' assignment! I had a lot of fun, but lugging that huge 4x5 camera and all the props was slightly difficult!
Photoshop skills...
Can you tell what is real and what is not?? Leave me a comment and tell me everything you think is 'fake'! Happy Hunting!
Concert Photography
I found this cool site that talks about band photography and I think anyone interested in doing this should check it out!
Here is some more of my images, check out more on my flickr
Fishhawk
This fishhawk band was pretty decent. They are an un-signed group from Atlanta and have a kick ass photographer whom I watched as they preformed! I got some shots of them, but I want to see if i can possibly talk with their photographer and learn some 'secrets' to band photography!!

Here Fishie Fishie
I took this image awhile ago when it was warmer outside! This is My dad catching his first fish at his new lake house :) he says and I quote "Let me hold it closer to the camera, It'll look bigger!" hehe He's right, just another example of Depth of Field!
Lefarge Rock Quarry
This 'run off slab' has been accruing cement and such for over 25 years. For my next shots I want to go down inside and take pictures!! I am going to see who I need to talk to and make it happen.
Some where in between
During the rain I was out photographing and came across this cemetery it was very peaceful and I wanted to capture the feeling...

Working hard, or hardly working?
Today Allyson Stephens, Ze Moua and Chelsea Smith finished laying the hardwood flooring in our holiday portrait studio! They did a great job, and I photographed them! :)
A fun Day in the studio
Today I had one of my dear friends put a little makeup on me and take my portrait! I think she did a great job! especially considering that I am NOT 'photogenic', hence one of the many reasons I am a photographer...
Photo Chick on You Tube
I just finished watching this video about how to light a room with flash, which was very interesting, and then Finch proceeds to lecture on how to use your flash to the best of your advantage! interesting...
On my drive to school...
This morning on the drive to school I couldn't help but stop and photograph the morning light... it was beautiful.

In need of a little help...
Ok GTC friends, I need a few volunteers! I need to put a small album together of some wedding portraits, and Amanda had the brilliant idea to stage a wedding shoot! I have the dress, we can clip it in the back so it will fit every size, (or if someone has their own and would like to use it that would be awesome!) I need a Gal and a Lad! Anyone who helps me out I will bake for them a delicious cookie! Let me know guys it'll be OH SO fun!
Holiday Fun
Today in class we worked on out set for Holiday Portraits that are coming up in about 2 weeks! We still have so much to do, but we got a good start! Here are some images i took today during all the fun! :)

Old Things
I was out driving around yesterday when the weather was beautiful and I came across an old abandoned store. Everything was removed from the building except this old gas pump. I really enjoy finding artifacts of days long gone. I think I will start a series...
Candid shot
I love this image! Candid photos are my favorite images to take because they capture emotion and pieces of peoples lives. I can look at this picture and know what he is thinking... can you?
Photo inquiry
The day was beautiful, the sun was shining and the grass was oh so green... I took this image from this low angle because I wanted the viewer to feel like they were right there in the grass with them. Did I succeed? Opinions desired! How could I have made this photograph better?

The Twelve Elements of a Merit Image:
#1 Impact, Seeing an image for the first time and evoking some sort of emotion
#2 Creativity, speaks for itself
#3 Technical Excellence, print quality, presentation, sharpness color correctness
#4 Composition, the design of the image itself
#5 Lighting, use and control
#6 Style, a definite characteristic
#7 Print Presentation, should enhance and support the image, NOT distract
#8 Center of Interest, what the maker wants the viewer to focus on as their subject
#9 Subject Matter, should always be appropriate to the story being told in the image
#10Color Balance, supplies harmony to an image
#11 Technique, the approach used to create the image,
#12 Story Telling, is the image's ability to evoke imagination
I think I should read and re-read this every time I even think about picking up my camera. I can NOT WAIT until January for the Imaging USA conference!! So many brilliant photographers under one roof, it's going to be A-mazing!
A Slice of Heaven...
Tonight I went to my mom's to have dinner with my family, and I swear she is trying to make me larger! :) Look at this beautifulness that she made! It tasted even better than it looks!
Ultimate FAIL!
I was driving to work the other day and had to laugh when I saw these two places directly beside one another! How could anyone resist the temptation?

Photographers on Facebook...
Facebook got in a lot of trouble recently for allowing images to be used and basically stolen. This could be a serious issue for photographers... check out this article on PPA!

Side Project
I have been working on a special for one of my friends who recently had a baby, I made her a music video with my skills from multi-media, NOW I just need to figure out how to post the video and get it to play correctly!
In The Studio...
Today in the studio I had one of my dear old friends come in and model for me! I baked cupcakes (which everyone later enjoyed!) I had a lot of fun, as I always do when I am shooting in the studio with friends. Here is a taste...
Working on my blog...
I think it's fair to say that I have no idea how to be a blogger... I need support fellow photographers!! Any advice or recommendations for how I can make this space more exciting PLEASE let me know! Thank you in advance!

Murphy's Law
Everything that could have gone wrong today DID go wrong! But I survived the day, and about to go to bed so I will be rested up for a big day tomorrow in the studio! So I am trying out this new font for my blog... What does everyone think? Let me know! :)

I have some really awesome people at my school! They make me laugh till I cry, say really stupid things that make me feel less of an airhead and they stay late to help me work through some HTML junk, that just makes my head spin! Thank you everyone (you know who you are) and Thank YOU Mr. Brett! You my friend are amazing!!! :)

So, sports photography I learned is not really my cup of tea. I could be jumping the gun on this one. Perhaps just because my first experience was not really the greatest! It was at night, so I didn't have the light I needed, I don't have the glass I need to shoot football, and It was a million degrees outside and I was dressed for a hockey game!!! So... maybe it's worth exploring ONE more time, and possibly renting another lens from PPR. This is the best I was able to get, hope my photojournalism teacher doesn't chew my face off.

Pet Photography
I used my Nanni's Amstaf because I knew she could handle being around lots of people and she would be easy to work with (other than her 89lb structure) My husband brought her into the studio for me once the set was put together, and helped get her into the wash tub. She didn't enjoy this part of the shoot much, but she allowed me to get the few cute shots that I needed! She looks like a scary dog, but she is a huge sweet baby who if given the chance would lick you to death! I had a ton of fun doing this project!! :) I could see pet photography in my future!
Days like today...
I am SO glad that I am not made of sugar! We had the children's shoot at school today and my theme was "safari" and I had to carry really awkward fake plants into the studio in a torrential down pour! The hard 'wet' work paid off though because I got some really great shots of Mr. Valin. Jeremy so wonderfully let me barrow his son for this project and we had a lot of fun! this photo shoot gave me lots of ideas for the future!
