Times are Changing

It has been a while since I have posted any photos, but don't worry I have still been snapping away. I just had to fall back a little bit and focus on completing my school work so I can be completely focused on my photography. I have been working on self-portraits lately. People don't realize how much of your emotions are expressed on your face even when you are not fully conscious of what you are truly feeling. In this first photo I was enjoying a beautifully warm and sunny day in the backyard. Sitting in the shade of the patio umbrella, I revelled in the golden rays while taking this photo. The next photo was done on another particularly sunny day but I felt like taking photos indoors. Using my Evolt E-410 and my tripod I angled and tested until my photos came out to my liking. My goal was to get the indoor lighting just right to show off my features, my skin tone and a clear view of my freshly re-twisted locs. I had began to notice my affinity for the color blue during this time so I decided to make a conscious change for the next photo... I switched to a color that I rarely wear but is flattering. I also switched cameras on this next one and used my Kodak camera. I was relaxed but trying to look serious at the same time. How do you think I did? Send me a comment or a suggestion for photo ideas. The weather is not normal right now. I am experiencing October weather in July and that is distorting my photography ambitions... Next time I'll have more photos for you to enjoy. Until then PBY (Peace Be with You).
