La Cathedral

Another photo from my trip to El Salvador long ago. Its been photoshoped. Its the outside of the same cathedral that I posted a while ago. Enjoy.

Off the Hook

A friend was shooting a project at the Santa Monica Pier, and I went along to keep her company a while back. I found this phone off the hook, and decided to take a photo. Enjoy.

Come Original

So these are the originals for some of the recent photos that I have published on my blog. Compare and contrast. Let me know your reactions. Thanks.

A Morning in the Desert

Anthother of the Anza Borrego photos. Im not sure which I liked more, so give me your opinion. Also, I have included the original photo, so you can see what I did in photoshop. Tomorrow I will try to upload other originals. Enjoy.

Another Desert Photo

Another Desert Photo
Originally uploaded by Bringer of the Dead.

This is another photo I took while camping in Anza Borrego. I remember, it was so windy, that I could barely walk into the wind that day. My clothes would whip around me as I stood there. Everyone was sitting on cars as the sunset was coming. We eventually decuded to leave the place we were shooting sunset from. As we were leaving, I saw this radio tower. I thought it looked pretty cool, but I only had a about a minute or two before the sun's light was too far gone to be usable for a handheld photo, so I told Brenda, who was driving, to pull over. I knew what I wanted the shot to look like in my head, and when I jumped out the car, I knew I was in the wrong place. I was too far away, and too close to the road. So I jumped the fence that devided the highway from the desert, and started running. I pretty much sprinted to where I wanted to be, is easier said than done when running on desert sand in what was near darkness. When I got there, I took the photo. The original photo barely exposed enough to be usable, but it was enough. This is what came of it. Enjoy.


By the way, I just opened an account with flickr, and I am testing it. This is not necessarily the new format for posts, but let me know what you think.

***EDIT***

I have decided that flickr does not let me post photos as large as I would like you to be able to see them. It limits the size of my images, and I want to you all to be able to see the images in a larger form, so here it is. Please let me know your opinions regarding image size.

Bombs Away

Its a stink bug. Get it? Bombs? Stink? Meh... Same hike as the last. Enjoy.

Ive been busy

Santa Barbara has been treating me well. I have been doing some cool stuff in my video production class that I hope to post online sometime soon. Hopefully, I can put it all up by the end of next week, so that I may create a link to it from here. Meanwhile, this is a photo that I took while hiking in malibu a few weeks back. I meant to put it up a while ago, but it just never happened. Enjoy.

I wish it was mine

Did a photo shoot with my uncles car. Here is a photo from it. Enjoy.

Surreal

Here is a little bit of photoshop work. I like it. Has a nice feel. Did it in my photoshop class @ SMC.

A Memory

Here is a photo from a camping trip to Anza Borrego that I went on a year ago. I never got around to editing these photos, but I recently discovered a few that are worth showing. By the way, if you are ever in Santa Barbara, drop by. I get very bored.

Fighters of the Foo

I went to see a Foo Fighters concert not too long ago, and I managed to get off a couple shots... with my cell phone. I took one into photoshop to see what I could do with it, and this is what I got:



The original was all grainy, so I cleaned it up a bit, but if you want to see what the original was like (although the actual original is a little les contrasty, and doesnt pop as much), here it is:



Technology is coming along nicely.

Update

Well, its a new year, and I sadly dont have much I want to say. Alot has happened in my life recently, btu I dont feel that I want to discuss it here. Its not that I mind sharing, but Im just unmotivated. Here are some highlights:

- I now live in Santa Barbara
- I was accepted into the photo school I was applying to (Brooks Institute of Photography).
- Everyone I know that does photography has misgivings about my decision to study here.

To tell you the truth, the longer Im here, the more unsure I become in my decision. Dont get me wrong, I still love photography, but I dont know if this is the right school for me. I dont see myself learning as much as I had hoped, so in the end, Im paying for a piece of paper that says I endured (Bachelors). Is that piece of paper worth it? I could get it in a different field, and I would pay alot less... like English! Except Nick would see me dead before he acknowledged that I have a decent knowledge of a language. I want that piece of paper so I can teach. Thats it. I can work with the photo knowledge I have, but I cant teach without the paper. Dammit!

Old Portraits

I found some old portraits that I like. Decided to share. Enjoy.
