A quick update of the latest edits before the full length report of my East Coast trip!
A glimpse of a season of GIFs!
I try to keep myself open to all possibilities, especially when it comes to photography. I sometimes will have anywhere from 2 - 20 different edits of the same picture, all expressing varying degrees of clarity, color, light, texture, emotion etc. What makes this interesting to me is the fact that in a sense you have 2 layers of meaning in the photographs. You have the subject matter itself which expresses a certain thing or idea: a trace of once physical reality in space and time. Then you have this other layer, of colors and all these other factors I previously mentioned, and this expresses the mood/emotion. Here are a couple of examples of different edits that can lead to different interpretations...
BUT... I found another interesting way to express multiple ideas at the same time. For lack of better terms, "Word Art" shows not only subject matter, plus the emotion, but also allows language to trigger thought processes in our minds. There are many ways to shape a photograph, but doing it with words produces a completely different effect, one that I really enjoy and am excited to do more of!
Stay tuned for a gallery on my website devoted solely to word art!
I love Diego,
and chances are, if you know the Catahoula Leopard hound that is my sister's dog, Diego, you love him too. He's an incredible spirit in so many ways, from his demeanor, to his interactions with those around him, his manners, his loyalty and understanding of social situations, his love for babies and other dogs. He is an old soul, that's for sure. I have to really thank him for this one though, it was SUPER cold on the lakefront during this shoot, with decently high winds. Yet he led the way around the harbor like it was his job! plus, He was so patient with me, even though I was stopping every two seconds to take pictures. He must have been pretty annoyed with me by the end of the shoot.
For this Throwback Thursday...
I present a form of media that I plan to share on this blog as a cool & quick way to get a video recap of my activity, as well as give you a behind the scenes understanding of how I got the pictures I did! The allmighty Snap Story. This is one of my favorite Snapstories that I found from summertime. Enjoy!
P.S. This post also represents my recently plunge into video production. Stay tuned, for in the future, video will play an important role in me sharing my adventures with you.
And here, are Some the pictures that were taken during the same period of time that you see this Snap Story!
