Model Mayhem Shoot part une

These are shots from a photo shoot that I did yesterday. Only two models showed up due to a high chance of snow, and they didn't want to chance driving from Kansas City and back. Luckily this young lady, Olivia, is one of them that showed up. Olivia is the daughter of one of the members from the photo club and she could not have done any better of a job.

Abandoned

 It has been kind of an internet trend for photographers to go and shoot ran down, abandoned buildings, so this is my first attempt at seeking a building out. I saw these people demolishing this building on the outer limits of downtown St. Joe. I have went back a couple of different times but no matter if it's Sunday morning or Friday nights there was always someone there working on it. I finally found the property alone on a Monday afternoon, so this must be their weekend project. 


I didn't go inside or anything since I was alone (with just my usual golf club) and there is a homeless camp just a couple of hundred feet away that had pillars of smokes coming from the multiple fires they had lit. While walking to my car a group of homeless people rode up behind the building where I was parked and dismounted from the bikes they had come on. Luckily they were just set on getting to their camp. 


I wish I had photography friends :( I would like to have someone with me on shoots like this so I could explore inside a little more. Yeah friends would help.... or a pistol.

Glass Tiles

Headless

Here are two more from my experiments with light this week. I'm not sure which one I like more so I'll post them both even though they are practically the same picture. Aside from light painting I have also been painting with light... if that makes any sense. I have done a few using the technique of Eric William Curry, I am not quite ready to show the major ones I have been working on, but his is just a mini project I did where I took a 30 second exposure and ran a light across my face to get the details, I then took a flood light and his the chair I was sitting in to make it look like my head was floating.

No Smokin'

This month's project for the photo club is "painting with light"(not excited) So the next few posts will probably have something to do with that. 

Thank You For Smokin'

This was taken with a 30 second exposure lighting my face with an LED light. I then created the "cross out" with a lighter to keep with the smoking theme. I then coughed for 30 minutes from the smoke. 

I'm Dying, and Melodramatic

I've had the flu the last few days causing me to not shoot any new photos, write posts, or... wake up. I'm not sure if I've mentioned this yet but I also started a 365 project at the beginning of the year (I don't know where I will post these, maybe Flickr), but now there is going to be three pictures in a row of things such as me wrapped in a snuggie with my head in a toilet. So today I'm posting a picture of my wonderful caregiver that was taken back in October.
