Just Life and Photography...
I'm knee deep in photography, and it feels great!
I sold my first photograph last month, and in November I have my first wedding to shoot. My co-worker asked me to do it, and I was uneasy at first, as it is completely new to me, but it's a very relaxed wedding and I think it'll be fun. It's 1940's chic style, so I know exactly the look I'm going for. My social anxiety is what I'm most affraid of. I'm gonna have to break down some walls. It really gets the best of me...but I know we'll be happy with the shoot in the end.
I wish I had more confidence in myself.
I haven't yet learned how to shoot completely manually from my Digital SLR (a bit embarassing), but I know 'P' won't cut it. I'll have to work on that. I'm also thinking of buying a new lens.
I'm still working on the Confessions project. I am ready to print all of them, but I still need to shoot a couple more people before I finish the project. I know exactly how they are going to be displayed though.
I've also just planned to do some light grafitti with some friends soon! This is very exciting, as I've always wanted to do it. Usually I say I want to shoot, but then i get lazy and don't ever get anybody together, but for this, I'm ready to go at any second. It'll be quite an experiment...and an awesome night out on the town.
I'm almost done editing the 460 photos from vacation. I know it really only matters to me, but I'm loving how they are turning out.
I still haven't finished working on a couple other sets of pictures that I took for some people. I guess I slacked on that. I'll blame that partly on the fact that my computer is SLOW and I dont' even have enough RAM to install CS2...so I'm working off of Photoshop 7. I know I'll need a new computer for school next year, but this may force me to buy one a little sooner than expected. I've got my eyes on an iBook Pro.
Ben is still working on a website for me. I hate to stall, but I can't, for the life of me, decide what I want to be known as. He thinks that going for just my name is lazy and that the name should have a studio feel to it. I keep trying to think of different photography vocabulary, like bellows or perspective, or pixels, tilt and shift, etc...but I can't seem to put anything together. If anyone has any advice, I would be happy to hear it! I'm just not verbally creative. Hopefully one day something will come to me.
