My Life

Second week of college, and I think I gained weight. I haven't been walking as much as I do at home because it's not that hard to get to class. I think I may have to join a yoga class on top of my schedule in order to battle the evil Aramark and their sodium laden food. My health is tumbling fast especially since my school 75% guys so I find myself eating meat products. Ugh thinking about it wants to make me gag. Well I should be working on my calc instead of doing this, which brings up my ridiculous expensive college. It costs 790 USD for books for this semester. Talk about ridiculous! I'm only taking Physics, Calc, Chem, and two seminars and it costs a fortune. This is what I get for going to private school. Anyway any advice to ward off the freshmen fifteen because I'm afraid I'm going to gain it at this rate. It reminds me of the time I went to TX and didn't walk. I only ate one meal a day and still gained three pounds in ONE WEEK!

My Gallery

I've gotten a job with the University Photographer so hopefully I'll be learning sports photography and how to use natural light. I'm much better with artificial. I have 24-7 access to a dark room and a studio though and it makes me so happy. I was toying with the idea of transferring to an arts school but I don't think I'll be able to have that kind of access to such equipment.

Anyway posted up a few shots from Freshmen Dorm Wars, so I hope you enjoy.

I'll be back in NYC at the end of Sept, so I'll be doing more fashion shoots then.

My Gallery

I've finally gotten off my lazy butt four days before I leave for college. My friends just launched a new clothing line entitled StoryLine, and I'll be doing the photography for their gallery. Hopefully by December, we'll have enough to create a look book. But it's just amazing how I went from a two month long artist block to something I enjoy. I think it's time for me to move from candids to fashion photography. It's something I can further express myself with, and after a very satisfying although long shoot yesterday, I'm finally back on my feet. I can do more than just postcard shots now. I still have a long way to go, but I'm finally moving and it feels great.

I know they may feel like A&F or AE shots, especially because they're b/w, but it's better than the California look that those lines have. The line actually budded from us being tired of New Yorkers dressing as though we're from the Pacific coast. So we hope to restate the East Coast trends. I mean how many American Apparels do you see in NYC? And American Apparel's based in LA.

Oops, sorry for my rant. Anyway on the site there are only a few graphic tees since we have yet to update it, but we also have hoodies and dresses coming out as well as other accessories so stay in tune for more. That's it for my rant.

My Gallery

Redoing most of the frames for most of my photography since it needs some change. Sorry if I bug everyone everyday with a new submission. I finally got an actual camera as you probably noticed though the lens has already been damaged . Right now I'm trying to explore macro photography though it does require a lot of patience and a tripod. None of which I have. Well not much to say, so I'll just say, I won't be cging or drawing until i get a computer that actually allows me to cg because my laptop's acting up, so I apologize to those who don't watch me for my photography.

I have three shoots planned, so hopefully more model updates soon.

Oh I finally got around to creating a stock account: TADA! I'll fill it up soon. So don't look yet.

My Life

I'll be heading off for college soon, so I have to spend a lot of money. Still trying to figure out how to get to the middle of nowhere without knowing how to drive or not having a car. I really should call the trunk rentals soon.

My Lovely Schoolmates

My Gallery

I've been borrowing various cameras, so the quality in pics isn't going to always be the same. Also I'm going to have an open shoot if anyone's interested. I'm located in NYC, NY mostly. More info will come up. I'm going to be playing wardrobe, mua, stylist, lighting director, and photographer unless I can grab some of the photography majors from my school to help. But I'll be sending out private invites to anyone who's interested. Just so I can exclude the annoying and immature. There'll be a picnic for candid shots and I have an earlier set up for head shots/portraits. Location's still up in the air while I see if I can get a studio or a permit for a public area.

Btw, I have a fb for my photography which is still under construction but feel free to browse the few pieces I do have up and to leave a comment or a request.

My Life

So Senior Prom just ended 4 am this morning. It begun actually at 1.00 EST on the 16th with my ex saying good bye again and breaking down a little. But then I realized that I have a long way to go before I could take the 1,000+ mi distance. So I'm going to surprise him this summer when I pop on his doorstep. I'll try to bring a camera just to capture the look on his face. Lol, I'm not going to mope around for a month again. After all, that won't help me. Neither would writing melancholy crap on the guitar help either or taking miserable self portraits.

_{(On a side note, I don't have access to a camera anymore because it glitched and the lens won't work. Because it's a digital cam, it can't be fixed easily. So I'm going to see if my friends and family will pitch in to get me an SLR for my bday...which is coming up soon. NOOO I'm getting old.)}

So I stayed up until 8.00 EST before falling asleep for a few hours to wake up to a rainy day. Getting to the restaurant where we were going to have dinner before boarding the yacht was eventful in that the invitation's address was WRONG and the driver was stupid. My ears are still ringing from all the music that lasted all night. Overall nothing out of the ordinary. Just a rainy senior prom, but the four deck yacht made up for most of it.

Here's a note from him:

Hi

I dont have any blurb so far but a few points about me.

I'm a full time professional equestrian photographer, who dabbles in other photography styles every so often...... in fact I cant stop taking pictures of anything & everything.

I have only been doing photography for around 4 years. (it only started as a hobby, as I decided to take a year of from snowboarding..... too many injuries)

I have no formal qualifications
but as part of going full time I submitted 20 pieces of work for critique to get into the BIPP (British Institute of Professional Photographers), this allowed me to obtain my Licentiateship (LBIPP)

one of my 1st ever photos is in my profile "winter see" & "fun park hibernation"
one of my latest photos (taken 12 hours ago) is "spring lamb"

I most admire "yann arthus-bertrand", although his like his work 'earth from above', its his equestrian work that is totally amazing in a booked called 'Horses' (I wonder how he came up with that title).

I shoot totally digital, but will always love film!!!

I shoot around 100,000 photos each year, 99% is for customers

all the photos in my gallery are non commercial, just for my pleasure,
I use deviantart to showcase my work, as it just doesn't fit in my my business.
also I always wonder what other people make of my work.

My Life

Ugh. I just got home from Minnesota where there was a blizzard in April of all times. I was there for a wedding, which was supposed to be a spring wedding, but instead we were in our sun dresses in 18 inches of snow. Now that I'm back in the heart of the Big Apple, rehearsals are going to eat me up. The cast has rehearsal Mon, Tu, Th, and Fri. Wednesday we have a preview performance so just as bad. Ekk, same day I have some dental work being done. Let me tell you: whoever thought opera or musical theater is easy, please do not audition. Brutal rehearsals on top of classes is not fun.

Yesterday was prop day, so now that we have our fans and parasols, I got a million splinters being accident prone that I am. (Btw the show we're doing is Mikado by Gilbert and Sullivan) I can't wait for the heavy kimonos and only God knows what shoes the costume designer is going to make us wear. I hope it's not character shoes. That's just weird.

My Gallery

I took a few hundred pictures in Central Park after deciding that no guy was worth moping at home for. So I nearly got sun burn last week after staying outside for about four hours, just snapping landscape shots and candids of the NY population enjoying the sun after a long winter. So I'll be editing and cleaning those up and will soon be updating.

I also got about two hundred wedding shots, which make terrific candids. It was the most unusual wedding I've been to. A potluck reception where you were told to wear picnic attire.

He's your rising self-taught photographer. Interesting enough, he had begun by taking photos on his cell phone, but finally got a digital camera. YAY for increase of mega pixels, but I hear it still sucks. Next year will be his last year of school (no idea what level though) He's also pretty new to this exposure thing. Took a lot of digging to find out anything about him. OH and he enjoys guitar and black metal.

Mjosa has to be one of my most favorite out of his gallery. While it is his first panoramic, it captures a variety of beautiful light. s for him. Hope you take a peak.
