LOMO to the power of 4.

So I'm obsessed once again. I was given an Action Sampler toy camera by my sister a few years ago when I was first fascinated by Lomography. I didn't really get around to taking many pictures with it....being a film camera it just wasn't as convenient and I was a freshman in college so I was probably up to no good and busy with life (haha right?). This past year I have really learned to love my camera again. And I feel that film photography is a dieing art and I don't want to see it go! So these are some of my shots taken of the beautiful Monsees sisters! Emily and Casey are some of my favorites to photograph and a crack up to be around (more pictures of them to come!). I love them dearly!

(this one's my fav!)

This camera actually has four different lenses that go off at four different times with one click of a button! That is why each different quadrant is slightly different. To get different affects from the camera I would have the subject move or I would move the camera! I'm obsessed with the results!

my earth people are beautiful.

My photo project for the moment......I love these images! They turned out so well thanks to my willing friends who allowed me to put baby powder, dirt and leaves all over them. I love the range of colors and the intensity in the eyes. They're beautiful and I love them.

After being told to take more photos, this is what I got. I like them. I love taking pictures. I want to learn more. I want to follow around around an amazing photographer. I found one. He's in New York.

it was all a blur.

My photography adventure for the day....tried to get new photos for a project.....no luck. Although, I still enjoyed my pictures for the day! My happy little accidents that happen while driving downtown Abilene. Sometimes I don't get out of my car to take pictures in hopes to save myself from looking like a creeper with a camera. So instead I just take the pictures while at stop lights and what not (which my also make me look like a creeper...but only if someone looks directly at me in my car, which I am hoping is less likely than me standing on the side of the road).

So I'm taking a digital photography class this semester and I have a project due next week. Of course, I barely started taking pictures before this weekend. It turns out....I was better off. I went to Austin this weekend and was able to take some really cool shots! My professor had shown us how he used one of his old film cameras to take some digital shots. I decided I would try a variation of the idea using one of my brothers cameras. Here they are! Enjoy....

the farm....this one was taken through the back of another lens. The entire picture is flipped, but the barn inside the lens is right side up!

Sum Sum Summer Time!

So I got back from Europe....helped mom recover....and played with my two wonderful nephews!! Here's some pictures i took from our swim day!!!

I break the rules.

Welp, there you have it folks.....Michelangelo's David!!! This is my illigal picture by the way. You are not allowed to take pictures in the Acadamia Museum that houses David. They even had ladies standing around yelling at people when they took pictures. Luckily I did not get caught....I'm just the sneaky!

I have alreaady seen three replicas of this David, but seeing the real thing was different. I hadn't been this close to it and the sculpture seemed so much bigger and more dramatic than any of the others. It is pretty sureal to see art this famous right there in front of you. Very cool experience even though David was pretty much the only thing in this museum.....but it was worth it!
