Pacu007's photostream

whenever finals start happening i start recieving some calls from friends with their projects ready to get photographed. on fall quarter my friend carolina called me probably the day before to do this quick shoot right before the last day of classes.

so i picked up my camera and my two nikon speedlights and worked it out around the scad museum of art's courtyard. this is her intro to fashion project, the entire dress is made out of a single blazer she bought at goodwill.

she made a really good job and we had so much fun!

if the scanning lab hasn't become my second home, it is now

mom mailed me two of the several kodachrome filled carousels that were laying around in the basement of my godfather (with who i share the same name and zodiac sign). he used to travel a lot while working for ncr, so there are pictures from places like argentina, mexico & brasil.

they're all in delicious color & i'll be in the process of digitalizing them before fungus does more than what it has done. he didn't consider himself a photographer, but being a technical man, he certainly enjoyed owning this kind of gear (nikon f for the most) and putting it to use at every moment he could, documenting moments and composing them into the viewfinder.

so if this was something he enjoyed doing and made it happen, i feel i have the responsibility to continue and make it worth it. i don't know what this will lead to, i'm never certain about anything, and i'm pretty sure no one is, but there's a continuity to everything, just know when's your queue.

a shot from my color technique class assignment

i'm still pretty used to composing in black & white so this first assignment was a little cumbersome for me, but i believe it pretty much exists for that same reason. i'm already getting some ideas for future projects in this class, i just hope they take form well.
