Hi,

Today is the first of four where I will post my 2012 photogenic contestants. The first is Ameera.  This was her first "big time" shoot with me, and she was amazing.  I kept this child for about three hours and she was such a trooper.  She is only four and has a huge personality.  Remember the name, you will see her name in lights one day!

Hi,
     This pic is my second attempt at getting a pleasing highlight on a reflective surface.  I am so happy that I got to do this assignment over, because I was finally beginning to see light the way my camera does.  I have a ways to go, but I am getting there, slowly but surely.

Hi,
     This assignment was once again product photography.  Who doesn't love shoes and nail polish.  Once Michaele brought out these shoes, everyone who saw them stopped in their tracks to oohh and aawww over them.  I did too!  :)

Hey,
     Yet another pic from my last class.  This was a cool project.  I used a strobe light and a tungsten light to give the illusion of motion.  I placed a flower on my backdrop, had a slow exposure, then captured the flower with a butterfly net.  The exposure is what gave it that ghostly appearance.  I am going to experiment more with this technique.  I can think of some very cool things to do with it.

Hi,
     Here is another pic from my last class.  I had to shoot a group of products and light it with studio lights.  This was one that I didn't submit but I liked it anyway so I will just share it with you.  :)

Hi,
     I took this photo at the same time as my last post.  This one was a little more interesting.  I love playing with depth of field and textures.

Hi Again,

     Ok, I admit this one is a miss!   I was working on this picture for a long time and the more I worked, the more I didn't like it.  I posted it only because I worked on it for so long.  Oh well, just move on to the next post.  Go ahead, move it, move it.   lol

Hi,
     Today's pic is all about flowers.  Yep, flowers again, I think I did warn you that you would be seeing a lot of flowers.  lol,  Can't wait until I get some help identifying these beautiful flowers.  If you have any ideas, please let me know!!!

Hey,

Today's pic is one of the images I took in my last class (studio photography).  This was a food shoot, I took this before I added my sushi.  Is it weird that I look for the smallest reason to buy sushi?  lol

Hi Everyone,

It's been a long time.  I am going to try to catch up here.  This is a pic of my nephew Adiel.  During his photogenic photo shoot he got pretty excited about climbing through a fence.  Boys...Fences...Climbing....Good times.  lol

Hi,

     I am beginning to think that I have a pepper problem.  I really don't understand why I am so drawn to them.  They are funny looking shiny odd looking things.  Ohhhhhh, did I say shiny, lol, that explains it.  Anyway, I love how these peppers play against one another both in color and form.  How do you guys feel about peppers?

Hi,
     Well here we have a future top model, Miss Eliyana.  As I was shooting her brother, sister and friend for their photogenic pictures, she couldn't resist showing me her moves.  :)  Beautiful child and great potential.  I think she takes after her "auntie"   hehehe!Thanks Eli for showing me how it is done.

Hi,

     Here is my stab at fashion or product photography. I had a lot of fun with this shoot.  My assignment was to photograph a product with parts of a human placed in it as well.  Melanie agreed to help out, and I was able to capture this stunning shot.  Even without seeing her eyes you can tell that she is beautiful.  Thanks Melanie for your patience and for understanding my quirkiness.  I am so glad you don't mind working with me on my various projects.

Hello,

     You probably thought I forgot how to create color photos since the last few posts have been black and white.  Well, if you like color, I have one for you.  This is a beautiful ball that has a different hue depending on where you stand to look at it. I was also intrigued by the reflection in the ball.  I am not sure what or who that it is, but I find myself squinting and imagining who it may be every time I look at this print.

Hi Again,

     I fell in love with this protective crane.  It overlooks the water as either a predator of the fish below, or a protector.  lol, I choose to think it is the protector since it's a stature and all.  lol  Not sure why this image makes me smile, but it does.

Hi,

     Yep, here is more water for you.  This is a small waterfall, and when I say small, I mean really small.  I just got really close to make it appear larger.  I converted this image to black and white and added blue just for the heck of it.  :)

Hey again,

     These cans were just sitting there next to a garage begging to have their picture taken, so I took it.  The texture and the little spade on top just added icing to the cake.  I converted this image to black and white first, then added back a little color to give it an antique look.  They remind me of the old fashion milk cans, so that is what I am going to call them.  :)

Hello Everyone,
     Here is yet another fine art pic.  I like tires.  Now, don't think I am weird or anything, I just love the texture and cool imprints they can make.  Did you know that forensic scientist can tell the exact make and model of a vehicle just by their tire imprint.  Cool huh?  I learned that from CSI  lol!!!

Hello Everyone,

I have been missing in action for a little while while I finished up my last class.  What a challenging but rewarding experience that was.

Today's pic is another fine art photo.  Burnt wood, plastic and twine work pretty well together.

Hi,

This pic is a little deceiving.  It was a small little scene that was part of a pool.  It was very quaint and pretty so I had to take the pic.  Did I mention that I like all things water?  lol

Hey,

Here is a preview of my final project.  My assignment was to do an ad campaign of at least eight images that are cohesive and yet different.  I normally cannot post images until after my class is over, but this was one image that I was not able to use for class, so it was ok to post.  Here, we have Samantha, I think she along with the rest of my models did an amazing job.  Can't wait to finish up so I can post the rest.  I give my props to make-up artist, Michaele Replogle for an amazing job!  You can find more of her work at www.MDM-arts.com.

Hi,

I love old weathered buckets, pails, vases etc.  I think that there is a regal beauty to those things.  Here is a barrel where I took out most of the color to add to that vintage feel.

Hi,

Well, I am back from vacation and now I need a vacation to recover from my vacation.  lol  A good friend offered to let me take some pictures at her boyfriend's dad's house.  I was kind of floored when I saw the beauty that opened up around me after turning off a small dirt road.  I want to post a few of these pics over the next few days to try to share one beautiful part of Marysville, Pa. Thanks Shawnna!

Hi,

The one thing that stood out most in Jamaica was the colors.  Everything was colorful.  I loved the houses and businesses.  They are very proud people so you will see many establishments sporting the colors of the national flag but you are also very likely to see a yellow house, or a pink house or my favorite, lilac.

Hi,

Here is another pic of the resort.  I was asked a lot about the safety of Ocho Rios.  Well, the police in this area do not play, right after I took this picture, a boat showed up (a police boat) and had the boys get off of the rocks and I can only assume inquired as to what they were doing and why.  I felt perfectly safe the whole time I was on the resort.  By the way, I think the boys were trying to catch the crabs that were crawling everywhere along those rocks.

Hey,
     On this day we went to Dolphin Cove.  Yep, we got to swim with the dolphins and it was the most amazing experience I have had in quite some time.  Getting into the water with these magnificent creatures humbles you.  I kissed, petted, and got a ride on their fins.  Did I say amazing?  lol

Hi Everyone,

Finally recovering a little from my vacation.  Just wanted to share a few pictures from an amazing trip.  This was a gazebo right on the edge of the resorts private beach.  I was in awe of the blue water and the white sands.  I just couldn't believe that all of the things that I read, and all of the pictures I saw, could be true.  Well...they are!!  Love this place and I hope to go back again.
