Welcome(?) Back

Wow, hi folks!

It's so weird coming back to all this. I don't even remember how it works....
Now, I am doing this because it will not stop snowing here in Longmont, CO and most of my classes today were cancelled, so I have nothing else to do at the moment (that's such a lie...always more to do). Also, I have been inspired by my wonderfully gifted and talented love of my life to post this today.

Anyway, I'm not sure how often I will continue posting up meaningless shit here, but I would guess pretty seldom. But I'm not saying this to drive you away (or further away, since most of you out there probably forgot I even exist, which is ok, I'll understand).

So, I just wanted to say that yes, I'm still here (way off in the distance tho), and I would like to still show you some of my cool(ish) photos and thangs (and thongs and fangs. Ooh, that got raunchy in a hurry. That's what happens when I start playing the rhyming game).

And now, without further ado, some photographs from yours truly:

These are my lovely dancer friends. And I must say, from all my experience, that dancers are the best models. They really know how to strut their stuff and do crazy shit with their bodies. I love it.

That's one fancy little flip.

Beauty.

I love this moment. This is as-is, no cropping or photoshopping.

Flying high.

BAM.

Workin' it.

Picture perfect.

They're lovin' this.

And there it is. I don't know why the quality is so grainy, I kinda forgot how to do all this photo posting business. It seriously just took me like 2 hours to figure it all out again...

Anyway, there are way more photos from this shoot, but I figured they could go up later in the future. I hope you enjoyed them.

Now before I leave you, I will give you the permission to ask me any one question you so desire, and I will absolutely give my answer. I figure it will make this a little more interesting.

Okey dokey artichokey.
It's good to be back :-)

~Love

Photo Series #4

Architecture + Portraits


This week while I was going through the rest of my photographs from the little Denver trip a few weeks ago, I noticed that a lot of them had very interesting architectural angles, lines, curves, symmetry, and whatnots that were in the background of, or surrounding, the person I was photographing, making the photos much more engaging. So, the ones I chose were the ones I felt had the most architectural feel to them, along with being good shots of the subject as well.

The list is kind of a big one this time (10 photos!), so just bear with me.

Photo Series #3

Hey y'all!

Sorry it's been awhile...again...and that I'm a little late in getting out the photos this week. First week of school is done! It went pretty well, not gonna lie. However, I can feel the evil stress creeping nearer and nearer already. What a creeper. I hate you, Stress. I don't need you this year.

It'll all be good though, I'm sure. Not too much in the way of homework and studying yet (thank God! I'm so over that shit).

Anyway, less talk, more art!

So without further ado...I give you...the third Série de Photo:

And there you have it.

These photos are actually a couple of years old now, and the model is my photographer friend who I interned with (she's way cool).

Hope you enjoy them! Let me know what you think. What's your favorite?

Photo de la Semaine avec Photo Series #2

Ok, first of all, my little sewing project (yes, it's obvious now that I was at least sewing something) did not get finished as planned. Laaaaaaame. I know. I fail. But it's ok, and it's going to look super super cute when I'm all done with it, and I promise to still post photos of it when it's finally complete. Sorry if I let anyone down though. Sewing is HARD.

And now this is going to be a quickie of a post because I didn't expect everything all day to take so long...ugh, busy. I pretty much sewed and trimmed and ironed and all sorts of shit all day long until this evening when I went off to see Earth Wind and Fire (the band) downtown for the New West Fest (Fort Collins! Woo!). It. Was. Awesome. The crowd was unbelievably packed (gross). And all I could practically smell for 90 minutes was beer, sweat, and cigarettes (and of course the occasional whiff of reefer). But it was nice. My good friend Kelsey and I had a pretty fun time dancing (as best we could in such tight spaces). And we were pretty damn good at weaseling our way through the crowd to get closer and closer to the stage. I had the idea that it would be a fun challenge to see just how close we could get toward the end of the show.

This is the first time we thought we got close...

Here's where we ended up!

Pretty sick, right? We got almost right up to the stage! (These pictures were taken on Kelsey's iPhone, by the way). And here is me and Kelsey:

She came out blurry, but that's what you get when you have no third person I guess.

Anyway, it was a good time. We also got mac & cheese afterwards, and it was goooood.


So, it is now time for the moment you have all been waiting for....

I give you the Photo de la Semaine (as will be shown on In Review: Stuff and Things) along with a little mini series.

Enjoy :-)

There were many many many more from this day that I'm sure you'll get to see later on.

Until next time....

Photo de la Semaine avec Photo Series #1

Ok, so as I've said, my boyfriend (Charles Emerson III) has a special little section of his blog, In Review: Stuff and Things, that is titled Photo de la Semaine ("photo of the week" in French) where he puts up one of my photographs on roughly the same day every week.

So, now that I have a whole blog of my very own, I've decided that every time I put up a photo on Photo de la Semaine on his blog, I will post the same picture on my blog along with a few others from the same shoot, making it a "mini-series". I find that it is so difficult trying to choose just one photo to put up every week, because there are usually several that I personally find pretty damn good (whether others do or not). So, this gives me a way to put up more of my photos at once (yay, promotion!) and in such a way in which I am not forced to make such an arduous decision.

Sometimes there may be 6 or so pictures, and sometimes there may be only 3 or so. The fact is, it will be a series if there is more than one or two photos up in the same post. And frankly, 6 photos every week is quite a lot for a photographer like myself who doesn't exactly have a ton of "clients", since I don't exactly have a real "business". But someday I am hoping that will change. Drastically. And I will have millions, perhaps even billions, of photographs that I have taken. This is just where everybody has to start, no?

Anyway, enough said, I suppose.
Here I give you my first Photo Series, or Série de Photo (yeah, I like French. What of it?).

First Photos

Alright, I figured that I should probably get some pictures up here straight away, seeing as how that's the main reason I wanted to start a blog in the first place.

I thought this could be a little introduction, if you will, to my photography (or if you won't).

My main focus in my photography is people. Not necessarily just portraits or anything boring like that, but interesting, fun, creative pictures of people. I have done head-shots for some as well, which are not as fun (appearing), but definitely still cool and sometimes interesting, sometimes creative.
For instance:

Look into her eyes...

But what I really love to do is more like this:

This picture actually appears on another awesome blog (my boyfriend's) in which he has given me a photo of the week section. 

Be sure to check it out here!

But I also enjoy photographing other things besides just people. I like abstract objects and bright colors like this:

Or, I'll occasionally do some good ol' fashioned nature or scenery shots like this:

Sorry this is so grainy/pixelated looking....I'm not sure what caused that.

Anyway, you get the gist of it. I have tons of photos, and I'm always taking more, so there will lots to see. I will also be putting up multiple photos from the same shoot, like a series in a way. 

So, stay tuned!
