Resting



Originally uploaded by Erin Eli
Last weekend I checked out a Hasselblad 501cm and a Polaroid back from school. I love it, it's an incredible combination. You get the amazing focus of the Hasselblad lens, and the immediacy of Polaroid. Well, Fuji in this case.

Dead Tilapia on Bombay Beach, much fresher than I usually see there.

I have a Tungsten (lighting) portrait due Wednesday in my Intro to Pro class. Kate agreed to be my model.. and then told me that she used to teach Tungsten to college kids at Mole Richardson, the company that makes the lights that we use in the studio! Um, random and awesome! She gave me a lot of pointers on practical light handling, and was a lot of fun to work with in general.

This is the digital component, shot on the studio 5D. Black and white 120 shot on Hasselblad coming soon.

Creating a portfolio

Towards the end of March, I'm going to apply for scholarships at school and I need to submit a portfolio of 10-20 images. I've never made one before and I'm so intimidated! How do I judge my best work?

To be honest, some of my favorite shots are things like this that I took with my Polaroid Landcamera. A few people have told me that Polaroids should be fine to include, as long as they're "cohesive with the rest of the portfolio".

Thoughts? Help!
