My friend Tasja and I shot some pictures of our friend Susan recently; this is a crop of one of my photographs. I used my Mamiya 645S and was reallllly happy with the results.
We created a gorgeous softbox feel by putting a fitted sheet right over the window, cutting the light and contrast down drastically. I can't wait to shoot in her room again.
I think I was using regular old Neopan b/w film here!

My first time exhibiting work!
This month I'm exhibiting work for the first time. I rented a small section of wall in a gallery in the Santa Ana Artists Village, and this coming Saturday is their monthly Artwalk. If you're in the area, stop by and say hi to me and check out all the other great artists!

Wedding
This photo is from a wedding I shot in mid-July. The bride, Abby, is dancing with her new father-in-law for the money dance.
Thanks for this job definitely go out to my friend Susan. Her brother-in-law's little brother was getting married, and she sold me as the photographer. (Thanks for having that kind of confidence in me, lady!)
It was a great learning experience and ended up being really fun! The bride and groom were really laid back and easy to work with. In all, it was a very satisfying experience. I'm still editing, but enjoying the process more and more as I go along.

OC Fair
Mariel and I switched cameras - my Nikon SLR for her Lomo LC-A. I went to the fair with my friend Mary and it ended up being a perfect place for the Lomo - tons of bright colors!
And yes, that is a Lomo that Mary's holding. Ohhh, we're photo-nerds.

Allie
I want to take more shots of this pup - she's a cutie. Somewhere away from the beach would be nice though. Despite the high contrast, I'm happy with 35mm shot.
Maybe I was too quick to write off 35mm in favor of medium format. Hrmm!

conclusion of a bad dream
"I was filled with deep regret that I couldn't tell everyone how much I loved them, my family, my friends. How would they know if I wasn't able to say it to them right then? What if they'd forgotten?"

645 with prism
Elizabeth Luna and I shot together a few weeks ago in Long Beach. Her sister Hannah was our model and assistant.
I hadn't used my reflector in a while so I brought that along. I always forget how much contrast it adds - it's nice if you want a bit more dramatic shot. We all had a lot of fun lighting each other and shooting with my Nikon, Mamiya and Land Camera.
Liz got some really cool stuff on Polaroid 690, which I'll link to once she puts it on Flickr.

triptych? Sounds like a disease
Lately I've been going a little nutty with older photos - a sure sign that I need to go out and shoot more. Also, I have a ton of color 120 to be developed!
In the meantime, and since I can't take photos of Anchal for geographical reasons, this type of thing is holding me over:

Spring Polas
Two recent Polaroids (they're Fuji instant film but they're still polaroids to me) that I took at school last week with my Land Camera.
My friend Liz (in the picture on the left) took this shot and I used it for a project for my Intro to Digital class. We had to have 9 different 4x4 images that represent us in some way; some semblance of a self portrait. These very much reflect my interest in instant film.

Stranger in the House
Explored an abandoned house and adjoining trailer with Tom a few weeks ago at the Sea.
You know, I think this is the first color roll I've shot on Hasselblad. In the past I've used my Mamiya, but never full 6x6.
On a color film/Hasselblad note, my friend Roger from school shot some incredible frames on slidefilm with Hasselblad. Holy crap. Look through all of them.
