Not a lot of news coming in this week, getting ready for one of my first paid gigs. Wondering how it's going to work out without flash. Oh well, when all else fails, kick ass.

On to the new image of the week:


Michael Jackson Tribute by ~CGodfrey on deviantART

Michael Jackson. Obvious, huh? The complete media saturation kinda reminded me that MJ kicked ass. Musically kicked ass. I didn't really care too much for his extra-curricular activities, but Smooth Criminal kicked ass.

Now that I have graduated, I've been looking for both work and to stay busy. So far, things have been going pretty well. I've come to the realization that while I know all the ins and outs of Photoshop and Illustrator, I haven't really used them to their full capacity. So, over the past couple weeks I've been trying to work on making more complicated photomantages.

It is definitely easier said than done. But all the better work will definitely come up here.

The art for this week:
I took this photo at the Red White and Boom 4th of July celebration in Columbus, Ohio. It didn't turn out quite the way I'd hoped, but I still like it.

Commencement

Okay, so I officially received my BFA today. A little scary, I don't really know where I'm going, but I know what I want to do, and I know how to do. Let's hope I get there along the journey. Congratulation to everyone who graduated with me.


Anyway; onto the shot of the however long its been since I last uploaded something.
This shot was taken for a friend of mine's thesis video. Its a cover shot (without the text added; I'll link to that, too.) I like the shot; but a few things could be better.

No More Classes

I'm writing this from the school labs, it'll be the last time I'm in here, and its kind of a sad feeling. But enough about that;

I'm going to be trying to produce a lot more now that I don't have anything else to do (other than grind awayfor pay checks). I don't have a proper light kit yet, so I'll be trying to buy one of those ASAP. Until then, I'm going to be turning into a street photographer.

On to today's peice;

A friend of mine had been bugging me about getting shots for her fashion thesis project, and despite my best efforts, I just couldn't ignore her anymore. Funny how I only ignore my friends. This shot was one of the shots from her final line, I believe the idea was Circus Couture. The shot went by really well, pretty quickly, and I learned how to try a corset! On a side note, I need some assistants.

Deadlines closing in.

Just coming out of class, and I figured I'd grace everyone (read; both of you) with a little update; This time with another portrait of the cool cool man named Lazarus. He is another aspiring actor out of Columbus, Ohio. The shoot went by really quickly, and turned out a pretty good set of shots. Most of which I still need to upload. But without any further adeiu; Lazarus:

Just a quick one this time round; A rough (extremely rough) cut of my latest video, the Anger Interviews

My Last Spring Break

I like experimenting. Although, I'd call it playing more than anything.

Another aspiring actress from Columbus, OH, I had the pleasure of meeting Carina through my friend/roommate/film maker friend. I guess my name came up through conversation as someone who'd be able to do some headshots.

The shoot was a little rushed, I had just finished up another shoot, and wasn't really up for the next one, and Carina seemed a bit tired herself, but things went well, everyone had a good time, and we agreed to another shoot soon.

At my first glance through the shots, I wasn't thrilled. Nothing really jumped out at me, but after some tweaking, and some time away, I found this image. A little lomo later, and I think we have something.
