CD project for Digital 1

     Bursting by Bassnectar.
One of my absolute favorite artists! I've been lucky enough to see him perform on the west and east coast his music always inspires me.


(please ignore the video and listen to the song it was the only one I could find)

here are a couple of my final images...

My third concept was going to be of a balloon exploding but I couldn't get it to come out right with the amount of daylight that I had left when I shot it.

"Untitled" 1982

Jerry Uelsmann. I think his photos are beautiful and amazing, I love black and white photography; the fact that he produces all his work from multiple negatives in the darkroom is so cool and inspiring. I have a poster in my room of  the photo to the left, I bought it at a used bookstore in Arizona years ago.

"Untitled" 1976

Jim Lennon Studio Visit

Last week our class took a field trip to Jim Lennon's studio. It was inspiring to see someone who is a successful professional photographer and to hear what he had to say. One of the main things he discussed was the importance of being a good business person. And of course with that comes good communication with clients and anyone else. A good point he made as far as negotiating that stood out to me was to steer the conversation away from money towards photography, talk about something you know and you will sound like a smart and knowledgeable person. He also said never to do a shoot for someone without getting paid, someone that wants you to work for free is never going to pay you. Of course there are exceptions to this friends, family, charity etc. I can't wait until I get to the point that I'm being paid to do something I love!

Weekly Timesheet

This past week for class we had to keep track of everything we did and how we are spending our time. I felt like it was bad timing since I've been sick all I did all week was go to class and work pretty unexciting. Not to say that my current life normally is exciting but...
