Latest in Photography






This is the dog next door. This is one of the best prints from the series. I think one of my best! I used a #3 filter for like 8 sec and it came out beautifully, dodging parts of his face to make them lighter.

To the bottom left is a dodge and burn of steps. it's not quite there yet.

The right is my best print of the stairs, and its still a little foggy on the bottom.

Cory and the dog, My best print is the bottom one and I did several and wanted to do a high contrast so that is the one on top.

The last picture is the stairs from before but from the top angle instead of the bottom looking up. Its a but dark in places and could use some dodging and burning.

Hair pulling..... having a good old time

This is the hardest semester I have gone through so far attending NCA. With no books and a head wanting to learn, borrowing and shuffling books has been difficult and thankfully this semester is almost at its end! I've been so stressed managing School and all my crazy tasks of homework and also trying to fit a part time job and handle a relationship has been really challenging. I still have not gotten an internship which I should be almost done with but I just honestly haven't had the time. Some of my fellow classmates seem to be handling their work load just fine but I just can't handle all of the stress of all of this plus worrying about money, I make minimum wage and my parents don't really help me out. Holding everything together and getting school done, keeping my job and my sanity and paying bills on time is a true test of what you are made of. I have a book report that I need to bust out and also share my book. Break is after next week and it has taken its sweet time getting here! I need to relax and let the stress roll off, what better place than SF.
