3 lincolns live!

So, my Dad has a band with two other guys in our neighborhood. They call themselves the 3 Lincolns. They have been dubbed by others as "Old Man Band," but that isn't their stage name for obvious reasons. Later next week, we are having a party for the 3 Lincolns, as a practice for their first gig. And what would a concert be without backstage V.I.P. passes? Well, not a concert at all, in fact. So my Dad commissioned me to make these backstage passes, front and back, that will eventually hang from a lanyard around the necks of our lucky guests. And here they are! The drawing of Lincoln with the guitar on the back of the pass was drawn by my brother, Grant. Barcode was stolen from somewhere on google, the rest is by yours truly!

This is another splash photo taken yesterday. All of the splashes I photographed yesterday are really starting to grow on me. I like how they're a little trippy and kind of abstract. Splash photos are a little overdone, so hopefully I did something unique! To get the colors, I placed the glass bowl on top of my old, and very colorful Psychology book, and threw some colored glass pebbles in the bottom of the bowl as well. I'm very happy with how it turned out!

spotlight- self portrait

This self portrait is a result of a 30 minute shoot I decided to do after dinner when I found my old prom dress in my closet. I burned the corners and background of the photo to make the dress stand out; I think I achieved the effect I was going for!

Abstract water

Earlier today I did some macro water shots of splashes and bubbles. Many of them turned out very abstract, which I am very happy with. I took over 200 photos, so more of them will be posted eventually! This is one that I titled "Rainbow Lava."

non-ghetto lighting

Well, I managed to acquire studio lighting equipment on eBay for an excellent price, and it should be arriving any day now. I'm so excited to finally have lighting that I didn't find on a coffee table or in the basement. Look forward to some fabulously lit portraits!
