Experimented with a flash grid, strip light, and octobox.

AJA Project

This is my finished AJA Project.  My overall idea/theme for this project was the decline of modern society/loss of values, manners, self-repect, etc, and loss of self or free thought through the abuse/reliance on technology.

Ornament Test

Tested shooting a clear glass ornament with a remote flash with two colored gels.

First Semester Final Portfolio

These are the selected images from my first semester final portfolio. My concept for the project was capturing what remains of one of the most prosperous eras in U.S. history, the 1950s.  I juxtaposed what remnants have been preserved with those that have deteriorated over time.

City Life

For my "City Life" project I shot at Haight Street and the Panhandle.  I used Arista 400 film and an Olympus OM1.

For the first image I used a 2 1/2 filter.  All of the other images were simply printed at F8 with varying times.
