So it was break last week. Oh so glorious spring break. Defiantly something I needed. I think I was starting to go crazy on how calm I was. It kicked in on where I was and what I needed to do. I was proud to say how far I was currently, but sometimes I don't feel like I've gone far enough. So far I am where I need to be, though. Shay has done an excellent job keeping me on track. Except for the report, which I have a lot of confidence in. Over the break I got just a few photos (excluding the ones I took at Shay's). My friend asked me to bring over my camera to get a few pictures for our community service project. Our project is taking care of birds so I took the opportunity to take a few extras for myself. Well, I believe I got one picture that wasn't blurry (couldn't use the flash because I didn't want to startle the birds). But the one I got of her, Emmy, is just so cute. C: I don't know if I can use it, to me it's mainly just a picture of a very cute and colorful bird, but I'm gonna work with it in photoshop. Another subject I got photos of is myself, actually. I have pictures for my photo class @ AHS that are due soon (working on self portraits). It was raining the last day of break so I decided to take advantage. I set up my camera under the dry sun room we have and brought out and umbrella. I laid the umbrella, discarded, on the ground while I held my arms out in the rain. For one of them I had m body half facing the camera, holding the umbrella open at my side. I'm REALLY happy how they turned out. But the best part is that it gave me a lot of ideas for what to do for my book. I'm trying to get a bunch of my friends together to take shots of. I successfully got a couple of people to model for me an I'm excited! Becca offered to be one of my models and I have an idea for her..OOOUUUH I'm so excited. xD So, at the end of the week, I went to Shay's. He set up his room so I could take pictures using his lighting set up and backdrop (including some color swatches to put in front to the lights that kept burning me). I kinda wasn't sure all the last two weeks before on what to bring. I was stumped. I brought up a few perfume bottles, ribbons my film fisheye camera, a large bell, two pairs of heals and a few glasses and a pair of goggles. The perfume bottles came out the best, I think. A couple of the glasses pictures are quite decent too. Shay also handed me a frog sculpture to photograph. I tried but just couldn't figure how to do it. I also think a couple of the shoe pictures came out quite nicely but I'm still complacent about them. This week is going to be all about my report. Gah!
