May 2008 Archives

So I kind of suck horribly at updating. This is an old story as far as (photo) news circles go but some of you might not have heard of it. I read it around the time it first was discovered but failed to think of posting it here. On my photography blog. In any case...


"Yesterday I came across a slightly mysterious website -- a collection of Polaroids, one per day, from March 31, 1979 through October 25, 1997. There's no author listed, no contact info, and no other indication as to where these came from. So, naturally, I started looking through the photos. I was stunned by what I found."

Some surface information about the photographer, Jamie Livingston, can be found on Wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_Livingston.

Super late. Just busy lately. Sorry. Shot Memorial Day Parade for LCS. Photos later.
Bunch of crap photos in this set. Cut out a lot because I'm too tired to code for it.



Ambrosia as Giselle from Enchanted.

Just wanted to throw this out there, for all those interested in cosplay photography.

I started a cosplay photography-related forum earlier today. It's off to a slow start since Tuesday was probably a horrible choice on start date, but otherwise things should be rolling fast. I'm aiming for it to be a place to exchange information (equipment, tutorials, discounts, etc) as well as a place for actual critique.

Please feel free to join up, even if you aren't big into cosplay photography. You can probably pull some tips, discover new photographers...  and we're cool people. :D I'll likely plug this again at some point in the future.

Amanda as Vergil from Devil May Cry 3.
Mostly experimental. Colors slightly off due to different gamma settings for editing.
Thanks to Sweet Poison and Mario for help during the shoot.

Submitted for the Terrapin Photography Club.

This really was just a quick snapshot in NYC; nothing too special.
Wanted to submit something since it was last TPC meeting for 07-08 school year.
May or may not post the other photo I submit. Still deciding.

BlackMarth as Prince Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender

As the title says. I've been working on a couple of photo-related things lately but exam week is around the corner so I won't be adding much in terms of photoshoots at that time... my apologies to all the related parties.

On another note, I received my Canon Digital Rebel XT a year ago yesterday. It was a beautiful day but I was tired and wasn't interested in shooting my campus, so I decided against taking photos. I did, however, have bubble tea instead :D

Also, 5D MkII? ! I actually got this link a while ago but haven't had the chance to look at it until recently. I want to get a second body in the next year or two, since switching lenses constantly gets frustrating ... but I was planning on buying a 5D assuming the price would drop more. Those specs however... drool.

Speaking of Mark II ... Iron Man movie was excellent. Go see it. (Yes, I realize this is a photography blog, but I can still be a nerd can't I?) Also, to update the previously posted list, I took a few photos from Taiwanese Night Market and shot a few "production stills" for a friend ... expect the latter photos after May 23rd (due to privacy reasons).
