For christmas i shot some photos for my best friends kid. I think they turned out ok let me know what you think.... keep in mind we couldnt get her to smile or be still

St. Louis

On our way back from Kansas my friend and I stopped in St. Louis (the most dangerous city in the US) at 3am and shot some photos of the Arch

MOO

welcome to kansas

Kansas

This Thanksgiving I traveled to Arkansas City, Kansas with a friend from school and I have some great photos from around town

Silos of discovery

These silos I discovered while driving out in the sticks of Asheboro. And of as usual this is shot with my wide angle lens. 18-55mm

Old Mill

So yesterday I went on a hike with a friend. we found this old mill somewhere in Asheboro NC. I used my wide angle lens... which is my favorite. Also i took the time to learn how to use new things on photoshop. such as the lens flare. its totally fake. I like what it adds to the image though. Also I played with adding a spot light. let me kow what yall think. I believe i am going to try and find this place again once it snows because i think i will get some sick pictures.

Editing

Ive done some more editing. I love shooting with my wide angle lens. Im posting the original and the edited one. I love black and white... its my weakness.

Tatoo

For my Art App. class our final project is a paper on a local artist. I love tatoos and any kind of body art. I chose may paper on tatoo artist and my friend has been kind enough to let me do my project on him. So this evening while in Greensboro I stopped by the Golden Spiral and got a few photos for my paper. These are a few i have edited and might chose for the project

Long time no post

Hey everyone. I know I havent posted in a while. Here is some things I have shot. They are not edited they are more of a photojourn feel. They were taken in Downtown Asheboro, NC.

summer semester

OMG summer semester is sooo... busy. we had to shoot 36 strangers up close and personal. i used my cannon rebel 35mm camera with a 17-40mm lens. i had to get super close and i meet alot of interesting people. one person i meet her name is Anna Lee Brower and she is 80 years old and has lived in asheboro her whole life. Shes says she makes the worlds best cheese cake. haha im going to try and sweet talk her into making some.

a short short break

Im about to leave for South Carolina!!! Super excited about goin to Charleston. It is too bad that my summer break is only for two weeks, there is alot more traveling that I would like to do. While in King.. my home town... I took some photos of my best friends little girl Emma. That little girl was a HANDFULL. Im so glad that Im not going into portraits!!! Commerical here I come. Emma is a very cute little girl though. I will post the photos once I am done editing them.

End of the Semester

Today was the last day for exams. THANK GOD!!! Thank you Andy A. for the photo of the pasted out drunks.

Class Time and fun fun fun

So we are in the last of our second semester of photography and boy is it tough! Its been a fun semester and we have learned alot about color and digital.

One of out projects for our digital class was to express what spring means to me and to me it is, "April Showers Brings May Flowers"

We also used gels to make self portraits during design lab and that was a bunch of fun to see what ideas people came up with. I decied I was going to be a hipster. Hey! if photography doesnt work out I could have a very promising career in beat boxing and break dancing. Photos are coming soon from that thug life. Here is wat the set up looked like.

West stokes track practice

Today while enjoying relaxing during spring break I decided to go and see my track and cross country coach. I took some photos while there of the team.

Even though I love college being back at he high school really makes me miss track and being home. The West Stokes track team has had an undefeated season so far. Tomorrow they have a meet against Starmount, and Forebush. I believe they will have no problem winning. The high jumper has already made a qualifying height for states. Good Luck tomorrow!!!

Birthday suprise!!

so April 5th was my birthday and since its now 12 14, it was yesterday. I did a shoot on my birthday and that was like one of the best birthday gifts I could of had. I enjoyed just hanging out with friends. My model was my friend Justin. He was a great model. He also let me play with his 50D. I taught him about how to use his white balance. Also my grandparents came from Hickory to eat dinner with my family and I. So I had a pretty good birthday until Duke won the NCAA.

complementary colors

Our third color assignment tada!!! complementary colors. I chose to shoot red and cyan, magenta and green, and my thrid was blue and yellow.

Mono tone

Our first color assignment was to shoot monotone... which is shoot one color from the color wheel with nuetrals. I chose the color red. I shot with a Fuji S7000

I was pretty happy with all my photos considering I was not useing a true DSLR. now I have a Canon 20D.... yes its older but hey it works just fine and Im enjoying learning the setting.

... Stay posted....
