Still life and model assignment

March 2009
I took these pictures last week at home (2 different photo shoots) using my desk lamp as my light source and a mirror.
The assignment was to take a picture of a still life (the camera) that means something to the model and then to take a picture of the model that reflects the still life. For example, if you were to take a picture of dance shoes because the model is a dancer, you could take a picture of the model's feet. I took a picture of my camera because photography means a lot to me and a picture of my eyes because they are very important for photo. A photographer has to have a good eye otherwise their photos won't turn out good. I'm still working towards that :)

Random

So I was playing with the mirror in my room with my desk lamp as my light source and this is kinda what happened. It was really hard to focus the camera since I had to do it manually before I took the picture - in other words, I had to do my best to find the right focus before moving my face next to the camera and hoping for the best. Haha. It was not easy at all, but it was fun to do. :)

6 in 6

3/5/09

These pictures are for my class's 6 in 6 weeks project. The theme was sorta searching for an escape.

You know those moments when all the lights blend together?

And you lose sight of the big picture because all the details are a huge mess?

You feel like you're throwing yourself against a wall and bouncing back without success.

You begin to feel like you're drowning.

But all it takes is one thing to pull you back.

The Escape

Music has always been my escape.
