Lake Park
Monday, January 26, 2009
Two weeks ago I wanted to post this pictures but somehow I couldn't they wouldn't upload, but they do work here in my school computer. Alot of them are trees and paths and of course lake (i think) that place is awesome and I've been meaning to go there and now I did. The sun was amazing and it casted light between the tree branches and the shadows were right. I would like to come back here again.
Red and Picnik
Sunday, January 25, 2009
I mentioned in the Red post that I had something missing and well I decided to edit some of the pictures. Where I edited them was in Picnik.com an awesome wesite that makes it your own account with different effects that are really cool and of course the basics. I like it but the only thing is that you can't have a large library only five pics. But you can save them in the computer which pretty much is the only thing that matters. Here are some. Check out the website too. I mean its not photoshop but its something right??
This one I really liked how it turned out. The colors were appropietly (check spelling)
standing out. Luv luv luv it.
Red
Wednesday, January 21, 2009
Yesterday I shot some pictures and I felt like red so everything was red. The make up the background and the shirt well some of them. I got the idea from this one series of pictures that I found in the internet, this girl had kind of like a cute clown make up. I liked it, so I did it. In many ways you could tell I made it my own. You could see the pictures in the blog called inspiration. Although I did shot around 100 pictures I have feeling that I wasn't done that something is still missing. Hopefully I'll finish this some other day. Here are some which I thought were best. I also tried again to shoot a picture in motion and still capture an expression two came out good in my opinion but not that good. Oh and also the pictures were in my room agaisn't my red wall and yes red is my favorite color. Can't you tell?
In this three I was trying to photograph her eyes by that I mean the true color of her eyes. Is it just me that all the red there makes it seem as her eyes have some kind of hint of red.
-This here was my first attempt.
-Second attempt I thought a red shirt was necessary and I like her expression more

This are other expressions we tried and show off the old fashioned necklace!
Tijuana, Mexico

This weekend I was able to photograph in T.J. and I took some pictures that were different and otherwise capture the everyday life of the people over there. Such as the lady's selling handmade bracelets, necklaces and such. The men that leave your shoes shiny, the old couple that sells corn, the lady with four children selling food at the park. The clown, the 'charro' entertaining people at the park and the old men playing chess. I wasn't able to capture all but some or few. Here it is.
Inspirations

Lately in school instead of doing what I am suppose to be doing I am surfing the internet through millions of blogs and millions of pictures. Ok no not really but I have seen many pictures that are so amazing. Many of them photograph for fun, others as their proffession and there is so much talent.
" He awoke each morning with the desire to do right, to be a good and meaningful person, to be, as simple as it sounded and as impossible as it actually was, happy. And during the course of each day his heart would descend from his chest into his stomach.
By early afternoon he was overcome by the feeling that nothing was right, or nothing was right for him, and by the desire to be alone. By evening he was fulfilled: alone in the magnitude of his grief, alone in his aimless guilt, alone even in his loneliness. I am not sad, he would repeat to himself over and over, I am not sad. As if he might one day convince himself. Or fool himself. Or convince others- the only thing worse than being sad is for others to know that you are sad.
I am not sad. I am not sad.
Because his life has unlimited potential for happiness, insofar as it was an empty white room. He would fall asleep with his heart at the foot of his bed, like some domesticated animal that was no part of him at all. And each morning he would wake with it again in the cupboard of his rib cage, having become a little heavier, a little weaker, but still pumping.
And by midafternoon he was again overcome with the desire to be somewhere else, someone else, someone else somewhere else. I am not sad."

From what I have seen and read, I have learned so much. The different techiniques and lighting and I am a big FAN of lightining, i think its such a beatiful element that can be seen in the photography and that just amazes me.
Anyhow, here are some of the pictures that I have found.

Sunday Pictures

I was able to photograph my cousins again but more formally. The best thing is that they were awesome!! I mean the light was perfect and the weird thing was that the sun came out warm, more than I thought. I was sweating. I mean the light was absolutely amazing. I also was able to get a reflector I think that's what its called, the little circle with a white side and a bronzed side, yeah that. Here are some pictures, well my favorite. Enjoy. :D
