420 in-class studio shoot

In-class studio shoot of our classmates.

Meagan Dullack holds her bright umbrella over her shoulder during an in-class photo shoot for JRN 420, Monday Sept. 12 in Central Michigan University's Wightman Hall photo studio.
Her smile could be the sunshine on Michigan's rainy days.

Personally, this is my favorite because I love tight shots that highlight models' faces and expressions.
I'm a little mad I cut the top of her head off though...

Tuesday!

Busy, Busy Labor Day Weekend.
More photos to come later. Here is one for a Tuesday.

Love, lights and the Mackinac Bridge.

This week.

Alright. School started again, so I haven't shot anything fun.
For my art photo class, I had to show that I knew how to shoot blurred and stopped motion and different depths of field. So, that's what I will post. Because it is Tuesday.

Woo. Stopped motion. Y'know, I do what I can. :P

Hopefully this week will be more exciting.

Weapons of mass construction

Two things this week, artsy and actual journalism.
One: Busted out the macro lens to practice.
Two: Faculty Association teachers strike, and the university president's response in a media conference.

I love my letters and what they represent.

I thought it was pretty. :P

An awesome day to be a journalist. 8-22-11

 

 

FA teachers picketing in front of Warriner Hall, 7 a.m.

 

Student support.

President Ross addresses the media and a few students who managed to get into the conference.

FA members refused to teach or hold office hours.

Crazy days in a crazy world.

A weekend at home.

Bb's: Officially the coolest way to ash a cigarette.

My other half, doing what he does.

My sibling. Experimenting with longer exposures.

Shiawassee County Fair.

The door handle in my daddy's caddy made a pretty design in the sun.

More Michigan!

Vacation times with friends! :) On Pretty Lake, at BF's family's cabin.
All moved now. Got another job for the fall. Woo. Now I can pay my rent. :P

Puppy: Eddie. He was kind of a focus of our vacation, the cutie pie...

Stephany and Nate (left in water) also tried to teach him to swim.

Check it out, the vegetarian cooked chicken. Looks pretty good, if I do say so myself.

Stupid boat puzzle that took days to complete. :P For smart kids, I think we struggled a lot.

More summer life.

So, getting ready to move out and I moved some boxes and found this lovely surprise in my apt...

Probably not the healthiest.

Went camping at Higgins Lake with BF's friends and their family.

Oliver and his daddy in a noodle battle.

Also went to go see Journey with Foreigner and Night Ranger at Detroit Rock City. Awesome experience. Did not bring my camera in, or I would have pictures.

Girls & Guns calendar shoot II

07/25/11
Untouched, except for the SCCPROMO stamp.

I've also decided I'm remaking my portfolio again, so there's that. I suppose that will be my next project.

Not one of the promo pics because you can't really see the gun, but I like it anyway.

Some awesome sunsets happening around here.

Sunset on 07/12/11 in Grand Ledge.

Lotsa nothin.

Landscaping. Trying to get the wide-angle look with a long-distance focus.

Artsy? We'll call it that.

~JD

I got a 50 and I ain't afraid to use it!

This is me! :)

Upstairs tenant and his wife's nephew at a Pampered Chef party in our yard.

I have a not-so-secret love of graffiti.

What? I have a life? AND a manual lens?

Day camp, My brother's birthday, Practicing with my 55 lens and..... BRAND NEW STUFF. :D
I got new camera toys...

But first:

Campers cooking over a camp stove instead of a fire because of rain.

Michigan weather for you, pouring rain and blue sky.

June 22, my brother's birthday. And the most epic cake of all time. Three layers of brownie, two of chocolate ice cream and cream cheese frosting.

Manual 55 practice...

HI SIBLING.
