Tipsy

I’m requiring my Beginning Photography students at Shenandoah University to recreate this image.  I had to create it so they had a reference.  I finished it and thought “well now that’s a blog photo.”  It’s not a difficult technique to pull off, but it’s slightly different than what we did in class – same technique just applied in a very creative manner.  Can’t wait to see the results.

Feeling a little tipsy - I wasn't even drinking!

Sharp

“A graduation ceremony is an event where the commencement speaker tells thousands of students dressed in identical caps and gowns that ‘individuality’ is the key to success.”

– Robert Orben


I’m certainly in a position where the saying “use it or lose it” plays a huge factor.  This blog, if anything, is helping me stay sharp and practice my craft.  Every once in a while I get the urge to do something a little “wonky” with my images – just for fun.  Enjoy.

Textures

TextureI think I’m going to start my collection of textures for use in Photoshop – You can never have too many cool textures.  The possibilities are endless and there’s a never-ending supply of them everywhere.  Collected this one on my morning walk with Waldo this morning.  Just somebody’s front wall along Tennyson Avenue in Winchester.
