Today we had our second Work-In-Progress review this quarter. Overall, it went well, especially considering that the weather has prevented me from shooting much over the past couple of weeks. This did give me a chance to re-evaluate some of the digital shots I took earlier in the quarter to see if they could work with my film work. While presenting these, one set of contacts was brought up that caught our interest. In this set of contacts were a couple of photos that really expressed character, in an almost literal way. Janie expressed that I should definitely continue to explore this avenue a bit more and see where it goes. I really like this idea because it is much easier to take someone's photo when you ask them first. Don't get me wrong, I love the challenge, but it's really interesting how much people "come out" in front of the camera. The above photos are from my digital contact. Lemme know what you think and there are more to come.Thursday, February 18, 2010

These images are really different from what I've been seeing from you. I like that these are more intimate and expressive of the people you are shooting, but I did also like the images of the feet and the other images you showed at the framing exercise. I know it stinks we can't all see everyone's work but I was just wondering if you are just shooting constantly and coming out with many images to see where your thesis is still going or are these just exercise pieces of friends and you are shooting just to see how it goes? I don't even know if I'm making sense but I do like the others I saw as well. Good luck with shooting and everything and I hope your computer treats you well.
