Change of Heart

For the past two years I have been taking photography classes at UNLV which  focuses on the fine art aspect. This semester a commercial photo class has been offered by Sergio Checko to help the students at UNLV get a wider range of education and practice.  I have completely fallen head over heels for this [...]

Dawning of a New View

It has been a while since I have last written, but I feel it necessary to give the world an update on my new perspective on photography.
There have been many life changing events this summer for me, and they have all impacted me in an emotional and artistic way.  In my Intermediate Black & White [...]

Exposure 4

So, UNLV is putting on an exhibition of art work from the advanced and intermediate black and white photography classes. Three of my pieces have been selected as a maybe, but it is possible that one of them goes into the yes pile. I am hopeful. It would be nice to put on a resume. [...]

Black and White

I recently started my courses for the spring semester at UNLV. I also recently started my job at Chili’s as a hostess; hopefully a soon-to-be server. I am taking intermediate black and white photography, oil painting, kick boxing, second level voice class, and a survey of art history. So with just work and [...]

Pictures added on Nov. 27, 2007
I had a previous question regarding the colors in photographs and how they can become so bright. I had asked if film or developing had anything to do with it, or if it was all digital. This last week, had a photography assignment to capture bright [...]

Photograph Colors

I take a lot of pictures. Most of the pictures I shoot involve a lot of color, i.e. flowers, landscapes, animals; however it seems that the photos I see online are more vibrant. For instance, this frog photo is so colorful and the colors just jump right off the photograph. Since I [...]

Fashion Help~!

I have to shoot three fashion photos for a class. I am stumped on ideas.  Maybe it is because I have no sense of fashion, or maybe it is because it does not interest me, but I do not know what to shoot. I could get the common Fashion Show shot I guess, but [...]

Photo Shoot

I recently had a photography assignment to play with lighting and fabrication in my pictures.
Lighting refers to ways of using light, other than the flash or natural lights. Different colored bulbs, sheets over lamps or saran wrap, are few of so many options.
Fabrication is a term photographers use when they are describing a [...]

Photographer Curiosity

I think almost everyone has seen an image that portrays car headlights on the highway as streaming ribbons of light (below) I have always wondered how a camera could capture the trails made by the headlights. The National Geographic’s photo of the day on Sept. 23 shows this wonder of mine. The photo’s [...]
