A story told by portraits [s]

Four glorious hours in the darkroom. I toned these because monochrome just doesn't look good on a monitor, it's all bluish and you can't see detail.

Portraits that tell a story (?) [s]

Assignment three, portraits that tell a story. I went both directions, straight up portraits and capturing a well-defined sequence of events.





I imagine the four prints we turn in should be from the same roll, both have a few candidates but the photojournalism ones are more varied. Of course, the following are just blown up copies of the contact sheet frames.


Maybe a smaller aperture. It was overcast though, so the window wasn't providing much light.


Lens filter worked well with the eyes.




Shoulda gotten that engine chromed. I mixed up mid-motion shots with poseds.

Requisite beer, light was pretty low at this point but I shoulda risked a polarizer.

Bret: The man, the hero, the legend [s]

Bret took his leave of San Diego today. So yesterday we held a small get together.


This is one of Connie's.






Connie again. There really wasn't a motion blur.

Find your guitar hero inspiration [p]

Go to reggae night at Tropicoso next Thursday. When they ask what band you're there to see, say Lion's Paw. Order a Red Stripe for each hand, and one for the photographer.
