Better Together
July 16, 2010
Today I got to tag along and assist my good pal Corinne as she photographed our radiantly pregnant friend. It was so fun to work together and bounce ideas off of each other, share bits of knowledge, see how someone else works and just in general be inspired. This filled a little bit of my hunger. I highly encourage you to find a friend and go make some photographic harmony together. All of these are straight out of the camera, no processing yet. I'm not sure I'll do much except maybe smooth her belly a tiny bit and just add some punch and contrast to a few of them. I'll also experiment with B&W, naturally.

Looking for a Workshop
July 11, 2010
I'm hungry. That's the only way I can describe it. I feel a great hole inside me regarding photography, wanting to go to a new level or learn a new skill or rediscover something or figure out something that's been eluding me. So, I'm looking for classes and workshops. I want to get with other photographers in a focused, artistic setting. I want to try film again-to compose an image based on what I know about aperture, film speed, light and shutter speed instead of always doing what the camera tells me to do. I used to do it all the time, now it scares me and I feel like I should do it again in the same way that I want to get back on a roller coaster or water ski again before I give into my fears and say I'm too old. I want to figure out what I'm really good at, what moves me, what makes me love to pick up my camera. I know the answers to some of those questions, but not all of them, so I want to go beyond what I can figure out on my own and learn more. I've been looking through folders upon folders of images trying to get to the nugget of my photography. I don't know if I've found it yet, but I've loved looking and have realized that I really, really do like making photographs, just for myself.
