Fashion Shoot

Alright! This has been a slow process, but I've been working on editing some photos I took for my fashion shoot in people photography class. It was a fun experience, and really enjoyed the opportunity to photograph one of the exchange students attending our church!

Holga #2

Amidst the past couple first days of my summer break, I've been enjoying some of the beautiful weather (well, at least in comparison to freezing temps), doing some spring cleaning, and also working on some of the more tedious computer clean up for smoother operation. I'm organizing and trying to 'find' files I maybe miss labeled while working through a large flow of images during the semester. Anyway, .... while organizing I took a few moments to process a few more holga shots I took a couple days ago. Something fun to motivate me to press on with the heavier load of work.

I have found a great application for the lens, in a genre of photography I have been playing around with for the last couple months. Though, I'm not ready to do a reveal of any of those images at this time. 

Holga

As the semester is coming to an end, I'm trying to complete everything, make notes for things to touch back upon, set goals, and get things reorganized so that I can go back and finish up a few things that were unable to be completed during the semester.

In the mean time, I thought I'd post a couple photos that I took with my little plastic holga lens I purchased for a shoot. I am pulling things together in order to make my own pin hole camera, and practice along those lines too. Here's a digital version of some holga landscapes. These have only had some color and contrast enhancement applied through photoshop. The rest of the effect was in camera. Or should I say, in lens?

Multiples

I have had this in store for a little while, been meaning to post, but haven't had a lot of time. This was a particularly fun shoot of Jason. 

Human Identity

Retrospect

I was going through some old photo files, and found baby pictures of my children. 

Their cuteness almost makes me forget all of the challenges that early motherhood brings. These two have brought so much fulfillment to my life. What a blessing children are, no matter during what season of life that they arrive.

I am looking forward to the coming adventures of experiencing motherhood outside of the lens of a college student. I have been in college their entire lives. It will be a new adventure :) 

Mid Term Formal Rose

I have been informed that this is considered modern formal, because it is in color. This is one of the Mid Term images that I turned in last week, it is by far the most successful image that I have photographed of a rose. Even though my other images were not as well received I am very pleased with this one.
