Closed a big chapter of my life this past week/month.
Goodbye to the old. I’m anxious for whatever the new will be.

This image wasn’t exactly thoroughly planned out, as I’m in comfy clothes for moving and am a sweatball. Ha!

Inspired by this photo: 

The photographer’s name is slipping my mind wahhhh

Holga

So, I mentioned I might want to photograph my house and my life in said house for my thesis project. 

Here’s a shot I took to use up one of the last photos on a roll of film. Not as happy with the composition as I would have liked, but it’s an idea of how I might shoot this series, if I do it.

No but really, did I mention I love this camera?

Hillary said I should do a kickstarter to help me purchase one. It’s not like they’re thousands of dollars, but being a photographer is expensive as shit and there’s an endless amount of supplies I have to spend money on, especially being a student. And as I currently don’t make much money because I don’t have time to do much freelance work*, I rely a lot on my parents to support me so I have a roof over my head and enough food to eat. I would just BEG AND BEG AND BEG for it for Christmas, and say I want nothing else, but I’ve also got to start figuring out my trip to San Fransisco in March for the SPE National Conference. I certainly don’t expect my parents to pay for all of that, and I certainly won’t be able to afford it all on my own.

So… if I were to make a kickstarter in the near future, would you help me spread the word and possibly gimmie a dollar?

*21 hours next semester on top of being Photo Editor at Garnet & Black… that kiiiind of takes up MY ENTIRE LIFE.

did another one of these portraits tonight because i had to re-shoot them on my film camera. here is the test shot from my digital and me playing around with adding some rain in photoshop. it’s kinda shitty but i kinda like it. definitely going to work on this more, but wanted to post it for now. also, let me know if you think it would work better if i cropped some of the black out?

and here’s one of my roommate.

you can click the photo to see the rest. they’re kinda cheesey but they’re just tests. i’m going to do more when i have more time for planning and execution.

i like the extra diffused-ness the curtians provide.

i was driving to a lovely house show last night and had to stop to take a couple photos of the sky, which was beautiful. you can click this photo to see it, but i’m just a sucker for these types of photos.
