7 deadly blogs

I wanted to used a verity of techniques in each image. I switched from natural light, fill flash and incandescent light which may take away from using them in a series but helped me gain practical experience. Each technique I would try and have play its part in portraying the particular sin like vengeance has a vibrant harsh contrast and portrays the angles of looking down on the victim.

WHy photograph

People photograph because its the easiest way to capture a moment in time. It can also be used as a tool to manipulate that same moment in time and how the photographer sees it. I would like to shoot some fashion photography for practical skill and surrealist.

Influences

One of my major influences is David Byrne. His ability to create music and photos makes him the best double threat sense Puff Daddy. Its really inspirational to see how a creative mind can work in all sorts of fields. I personally do not want to restrict myself to photography but go with what ever medium comes to thought.

Creative process

I never seem to have problems with coming up with ideas. It just so happens that this is my down fall. The photos I want to take, the pieces of woodwork I want to create and projects I want to do flow from one to the other drowning my motivation to accomplish nearly nothing. I constantly think of something out of reach but turn to something with more instant gratification and a more practical route.

Through some glass

This term I'm taking a film theory class and one of the films we studied was Mean Streets. In the film he views what he cannot have because of moral and religious restraints through windows. Most often we view these temptations through the back seat of a cab or maybe someone walking by the office. For the taxi photographs I used a slow shutter speed to give the effect of the surroundings being a blur of lights and attractions amidst the capsule of the cab.
