Newest shoot

Me and steph did a shoot with this awesome chair I got from a friend.

Beautiful Day.

This weekend I went adventuring with a bunch of my friends and we hung out at an abandoned farm house and I took this shot.
:)

and this one...

Edward Weston

He was born on March 24, 1886 in Illinois
He died on January 1st 1958 at 71

His first camera was a Kodak bulls-eye for his 16th birthday
He attended the College of Illinois for photography and the Chicago art school featured his work.

He moved to California where he shot a lot more
He had a large family with 4 boys and a girl,
2 ended up being photographers
His son Brett focused on Black and white with nature
and his son Coal used vibrant colors in his photos

I love the darkness of his face and the light that is his body....
It's a portrait of his son Neil...

Ideas.

I was driving a lot today back and forth from Lancaster and I had some cool ideas.

Still life - Berries laid out in rows on the back of something scratched and metallic.
Portraits - Painted faces competently white around some disintegrating building...
- Black strips on peoples nose and eye areas, to make their eye colors pop, outside?
Outside - Going to the abandoned factory taking pics of the windows n' stuff.

Ed Weston

I love his work. It has a lot of subtle lighting and his pictures of his children are fantastic. 

Favorite.3rd favorite. 2nd favorite.

Horssssessss :D

I was walking around on a beautiful spring day.
I stole Kri's camera.
She yelled at me.
Worth it though... ;)

Finding you {{BLISS}}

I was thinking about this a lot today and I've decided that bliss is a fleeting emotion that can only be captured by those who are open to it.

My bliss today was walking alone, with one ear-bud in my ear and my ipod on shuffle. Walking from West Chester to the park, to a random store, then back home. Singing along to my favorite songs and dancing in the road.

I don't know why but I was compelled to write a note.
Bliss is a wonderful thing. Enjoy it.
