My current photography assignment is to make a series of three or more pictures. I've been kind of interested in model building and photographing lately (think Walter Wick and the I Spy books...) So I built a house out of tumbled rocks and clay and tree bark, and since I had a stone house, I thought, hmmm why not build a straw house and a stick house and do a three little pigs series... so I did, and I built a huge scene in my living room and made a reallllllly big mess in the living room. Anyways- here are some pictures. (keep in mind that these are quick pictures I took digitally- the "better" pictures were shot manually and I haven't had a chance to develop the film yet, but I will scan in the negatives or photos after I get a chance to go develop them)
This is the stone house in progress

randomly- this is grant shot through a piece of red stained glass. This was not altered in my computer in any way except to resize it. I think it's a pretty cool effect

practice shots in black and white to make sure i'm on the right track (since my darkroom pictures will be black and white...)

the completed scene- most of the materials I collected from outside. The only things I bought were the dried babysbreath and the moss used for grass (all the other non-natural materials I already had)

and that is all I took with my digital. I'm going to take more tonight using different homemade lenses to create some (hopefully) interesting effects.
