I CREATED THIS!

*Delacorr - Metropolis, Eye of the Beholder, God's Canvas

This is by a user named *Delacorr. It reminds me of the "On Your Belly" assignment. In fact, that was one of my favorite ones, and I'd love to do it again. I really like the traffic light and how curvy it is, the buildings look so tall, and the sky is such a perfect addition. Can't really describe it. Just like it.

Mind-boggling, isn't it? This is what I want to accomplish. Look at the lighting and shadows on the hand and bottle! Besides it being a killer idea, it's actually a really nicely composed photograph. The only thing that bothers me a little is that the entire bottle isn't in the picture. But....the person who took it had to use his own hand and be his own model. Which does make it a little more difficult. PROPS!

Idea?

Last night while I was lying in bed I was struck by a crazy idea for a photo piece.

I was thinking it would be fabulous to shoot about insanity, and how beautifully classic and wonderful it can be.  I saw this old shack as I was driving down some road, and I thought about how empty and dirty and broken up it is.  But what if I took people in there, into that place with no furniture or linens or pictures or life, and made life out of nothing.

Shooting somebody cooking on the stove, holding an invisible saucepan and talking to their family.  Sitting on the invisible couch as a family, watching TV.  Washing their hands in bathroom sink even though the water has been shut off...

It's a little stupid, it's a lot difficult, but I think it'd be really fun.

SLADE!

I have decided that for your birthday (when is that??) I am getting you a WHAT THE DUCK TEE SHIRT!!!!! aren't you excited? I know I am, when I see you walking the halls in your very own slightly inappropriate duck photographer shirt my face will light up [:

A Photographer I found on deviantart.

I think that my favorite part of photography are diptychs. Any set of pictures that go together, actually. This one I found was really really beautiful. I want to start taking more diptychs and triptychs, actually.

*selfhaircuts

This is somebody I found on deviantart called "selfhaircuts." Does anybody see an assignment in this first picture? Maybe white on white? Looking through all of these pictures has given me some ideas for new ideas for portraits I can take, and other things like that.
I love how dark the background is of this picture, it makes the subject's light colors pop. Plus, I love that you can't tell who it is. It could be anybody, and it could be anywhere! I think that the cracked door, leaving a little stream of soft light is a cool touch, so that the background isn't so simple.
My critical eye is getting a lot better. For instance, the corner of white in the top left really bugs me, hahahaha. I do like how this picture is overexposed, though. It gives a feeling of bright, sunny, and light.
