So, I worked with the Holga and added my own words since these photos are about my life, what I do and who I am. It's my way of working on the First Person theme for out final show.
Okay, here are some real pics from the cross-processed project. I tried to load them on Tuesday but had problems. It's a day in the life of my bathing suit...
Boats in Ireland. Most of these boats were brightly colored so I chose to use watercolor pencils to color in one of them and show them as they were when I took the picture.
After begging for my own camera when I was just 11 years old, I finally got my wish. From that day on I've photographed everything I could that interested me. I purchased an SLR in 1994 and used it for the better part of 12 years. In 2006, I changed my format to digital photography. The change has been quite an experience. My first published photograph was in Tidewater Community College’s 340 High Street magazine. Additionally, my work was published in The Virginian-Pilot’s Beacon. Throughout my career, clients have asked me to take boudoir shots. Because of this, lingerie and nudes have become a specialty of mine. This particular photographic genre is quite challenging. I have to know how to evoke the desired feeling or sensation and when to capture it at its highest point. This moment has the power to be an explosion of energy, joy, sadness, lust, humor, desire, hatred, love, agony or ecstasy. One single frame is an immortalization for all to see. Unlike film or video where you have time, sound, music and movement to convince an audience to feel or to understand it, with a photograph you have only one instant. The viewer either appreciates it or passes it by.
