It's official

It's winter. If there's one part of winter I like it's the very beginning, when the snow is fluffy and it hasn't gotten too cold. Pretty soon it will be all ice so I'm trying to enjoy it instead of complaining. Anyway when I got home tonight the clouds were looking pretty sweet, so I grabbed my tripod and took some pictures. I took these at 9:30pm at a 250 ISO. Exposures were 5-6 seconds.

Mesa Falls Holga

Student Art Show

Last night was the student art show, where anyone could submit two pieces in any category, and then there are prizes given out for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and honorable mentions for each category. Seth and I got all of our pieces in the show that we submitted, and I won second in photography! There were a lot of really talented photographers that entered so I was surprised to get second, Rosalyn Caywood took first for an awesome holga she took. Anyway here are some pictures from the night.

I won 2nd for the picture on the left:

I also entered 1 one for printmaking:

Bridgette

This is Bridgette and she is adorable. These are some pictures we took after using the 8x10 for this ongoing project I'm doing.

Happy Halloween!

Yesterday Melissa and I went out to an old abandoned house to shoot, it was sunny, it was Halloween...why not? I am actually working on a photo project with the 8x10 camera and shot out there with it. These were for fun.

Scenic Idaho

Seth needed some specific photographs for a typography project he's doing, with the theme Sunlight. So we did some classic Idaho sight seeing and went to Mesa Falls and the sand dunes to take some pictures. I usually don't get excited about taking pictures of trees and sand, but it was nice to get in touch with nature and do something a little different.

Just warning you now, LOTS of sun flares, and just a few rainbows (not photoshopped).

LA Trip

I found this little camera at the DI, and it turns out, it makes for some pretty interesting pictures. Best $1 I ever spent. I brought it along with me to our LA class trip (so much fun). I edited these images for color, but all the other quirks are straight from the camera, including the images that overlapped. I never know what to expect when developing the film from this camera, and I was not disappointing this time around.
