to the Sunrise

My friend and I went to watch the sunrise the other morning. For the most part it was cloudy, but the clouds broke for a moment so we were able to see a little sunrise. 

Black and White Portrait Friday I

Here it is!The first installment in my black and white portrait series! My purpose in taking these pictures was to experiment in taking pictures in black and white, but to also capture certain aspects about the persons' personality in the picture. This first batch of pictures of course has a "normal" picture, but it also captures his embarrassed attitude and his humor. Enjoy!

New Series

I'm working on a new series recently. Here's a teaser of what's to come. Don't worry, this is just a "messing around" photo...they won't all be like this. Can you guess what the series is going to be?

I'll be adding to the series every Friday!

LIGHTS

Hello! It's me, of course. Who else would it be? Anyway, I haven't been around for a while because i've been pretty busy, and on top of that...not motivated to post pictures to my blog. Lately i've been taking pictures, yes, but I feel like they are the same old, same old. I wanted something to inspire me, to challenge me, ya know? So, i've been thinking of different photos I can plan and try to capture. While it may seem that photography isn't about the "staging" of a picture, I just need to get more creative with my photography... so for now, i'm going to stage different photo shoots.

This "photoshoot" consisted of photo merging pictures of lights and pictures of portraits. After I took these pictures and edited them, I was excited about the finished product. I haven't been like that in a while. This is the kind of thing I need to be doing. I'm not saying that the only photos you will see from me will be crazy different or anything, i'm just saying that i'm working on it. I want to be excited again about the pictures I am taking. So, all that to say, enjoy.
