Futuristic Lovin'

My lovely Sephora ladies and I ventured to the South End area of Charlotte and had ourselves a photo shoot. I haven't done a fashion shoot in quite a while so I was feeling a bit nervous/rusty. Subreen did a fantastic job on Leah's makeup and it transfered beautifully in the photos. I've posted a few of my favorites. Here's to the start of more shoots! And hopefully equipment!

Farewell, Copeland

Last week, my sister and I ventured Atlanta to see our last Copeland show at The Masquerade. This was first time in Atlanta and although the traffic was absurd I enjoyed our visit. I've already been looking for other shows there because I loved the music venue. Two levels, two stages (Heaven and Hell), and the bass banging beneath my feet. The show was incredibly bittersweet, I've become so attached to this band and listened to them for years and it's truly sad that they won't be making music anymore. I will always sing their songs with all my heart.

Hipstamatic

I'm fascinated by this iPhone application! The idea behind this application is that it brings back the look, feel, beauty, and fun of plastic toy camera of the past. It's like having a mini Holga on my phone which I love, especially since I don't have a Holga in my possession at the moment. It has the quirks of shooting slide polaroids and such but gives the ability to swap lenses, film, and flash settings all with the swipe of a finger. This "application" is putting my Photography degree to shame.

The Green

Well, hello

I've been so busy looking for jobs the past few months that I haven't done any shooting and I think it's time for that, full time job or not. I've also become so accustomed to using my digital slr that I think it's time to break out the film camera. I'll be volunteering at The Light Factory soon so I will have darkroom access which makes me very excited! Katie and I are going to start arranging photo trips around the city soon. It's a great way just to simply keep working, I won't feel so out of touch when I do get behind the camera that way. I think that's all I've got for now on this early Sunday morning.
