Last night my younger brother, Scott, found a young fawn. Have I mentioned I love living on a farm? It's the perfect continual photo opportunity.

black and white

I love how kids see things as a black/white issue. Either something is wrong or it isn't. In some ways, I wish I could back to that simpler time, when there was an easy answer for everything.

Senior Project

This isn't the order that they are up in the gallery, but you get the general idea. Installing a gallery is a ton of work, but it is so amazing to see your work lighted so well! :)


Environmental Portraits

Environmental portraits are much more than merely showing the surrounding of a person. What is their favorite color? How do they spend most of their time? So many questions can be answered by an environmental portrait. These images are taken in the person’s bedroom, house, or studio. These are the places where they spend most of their time, and therefore an honest description of who they are. I talked with my friends as I took their portrait; I was able to get to know them a little better, whether that was learning about their family, their sleep schedule, or what they had for breakfast that morning. These portraits are documents of their lives.

Studio Lighting

Sorry I haven't posted a new picture in awhile.

Nothing picture-worthy has really been happening.

I had a photoshoot with Rebecca tonight. It was the first time using the studio lights. Yeah, I want to be a photographer for the rest of my life. It's the most fun I've had in awhile. If that was my typical Saturday night, I would be overjoyed! (though my typical Saturday night, but that's beside the point :) So, first Rebecca shot me for an hour, and then I took 162 picture of her in the course of an hour :) Good stuff. We were working on our portraits project for photo2. Mine is centered around bringing awareness to slave labor in the chocolate industry. I'll try to post all of the final images on here (in two weeks).

Bonus post! :)

I'm so excited about my fair-trade chocolate that you get two posts today! :)

Opening the blessedness that is chocolate...

Smelling the chocolate.....

 Delighting in the chocolate-y goodness that is Peppermint Crunch (Sweet Earth) Chocolate! Yummm! Hope ya'll get the chance to get some too! (And there is no excuse if you go to Judson!)

Self Portrait

Reading the Bible has become so much more important to me in these past three weeks. It is what inspires me to begin the day. It is what I read when I can't sleep at night. It's soothing words help me through everything. God has good ideas. I need to learn to obey Him more than my own selfish thoughts and desires. He tends to be smarter than me. You'd think I'd get it eventually.

Confession

I shot a Canon last month.

American Smiles

Get it? Not American Gothic. Bahahahah. Okay, maybe I'm the only one that likes lame jokes.

Well, anyway, I think this picture is cute. But maybe I'm partial. I am rather fond of my parental units after all :-)
