Stopped

I love it when a plan comes together! Actually, I was driving on the freeway and wanted to capture the way the clouds clung to the mountains. (I didn't act on it because, frankly, there are already too many morons on the road.)
So when I pulled up to a stop light I took the picture, upset that the traffic signal would be in the frame. Then I liked it. It kind of reflects the way we see nature these days. It's never pure and simple, it's always within the context of modern life and technology. It turned out really cool...which of course, I planned.

Otherwise, no editing at all. I'm pretty conflicted. I LOVE playing with Vignette for Android but it just shoots images at such a small resolution that you can't do much with them afterwards. Typically you don't need to but there are barely enough pixels to look good on screen. Maybe I'll print these photos at 3x3 inches and mat them to 8x10. Little mini works of art. I'm doing it.

Head Shot

I had a fun meeting today with an amazing dress designer. Elizabeth, (designer and owner of Modest Couture by Elizabeth,) wanted to arrange a photo shoot for her custom dresses. I'm really excited to put the shoot together, her dresses are awesome. For today, I took the opportunity to introduce myself to a few of her hat dummies. This one agreed to pose for a portrait.

Enough Salad?

So I broke the mold a little bit today. I had a salad for lunch and was noticing the different colors, the red plate, green lettuce, yellow cheese, and white dressing (everything's better with ranch, right?). I played around with different settings on the android app Vignette to see what I could do with the colors. I liked all the images but no single one jumped out. Really, it was an exercise in color anyway so what better way to explore color than to just post them all? So here you go.
On the execution front, I couldn't find an app on my phone to assemble all the photos into a collage so I assembled them in Picasa on my PC. I figure since I didn't touch the photos it still qualifies for the rules of the game...and if it doesn't, it's my game anyway. Feel free to sound off if you'd like.

Not Everyone Loves This Project

I wasn't feeling well today and neither was Hannah. That explains why she's a little annoyed that I've decided to make her the subject of today's photo. The quality of the shot isn't great but the look is priceless.

Flower Delivery

For those who don't know, my wife is an awesome florist. She has a website here if you'd like to take a look. Today's shot is the flowers we delivered for today's wedding.
I have really loved shooting with an Android app called Vignette. It allows you to crop and shoot straight into a specific style. The resolution is lower than I would prefer but it's so fun to shoot with I don't even care!
