Framed (har har)!
onigaminanashi's family threw a big neighborhood party for her grandma's 70th birthday this past weekend in Fresno and I got roped into taking pictures. Kailey thought a photo booth thing would be fun for the guests, so I had to dust off all my photography equipment that's been sitting in storage over the summer. This was the first chance I really got to use the Promaster studio flash kit that my dad bought me just before Boot's Cameras went out of business back in the spring, so I was pretty stoked about that.
We were originally going to use this purple grapevine background (read: tablecloth), but one of Kailey's cats knocked over a bottle of oil all over the darn thing. I think the backdrop worked out for the autumn and wine themed party. The whole thing turned out pretty well and I think the guests enjoyed the novelty of it. I had a shutter trigger for the guests to use and take photos of themselves, so I didn't have to hover around very much either.
Anyway, I haven't had much time to photograph anything at all (except for Backyard Kitteh) since I started taking classes and continuing working on research this quarter. I suppose for the time being, though, as long as I can get a person in front of my camera for a bit (even if it's just studio), it's better than nothing. I definitely miss all this, though! Maybe over winter break when I'm done with my current research projects, i'll have more time to grab some friends and have them model for me.
Anyone volunteers out there? :)
