The "Author Photo" - Katie
Another time I was asked to do this. I wish I had the guts to say no. But thankfully, I had a model at my disposal this time (I am not running out of available friends, yet!). I had Katie visiting this weekend and chose to shoot her for prints review after spring break. Hopefully, Emma will like them as much as I do. Though I think they look spectacular in color (mostly because of her eyes), I still think the greatness will come across in black and white. Here the final three are in all their glory.

Shots in the Alley
This week for my assignment for my internship, we were told we could do anything - as long as it was in this alley. knowing me, I thought of something right away - subtle but kind of creepy. Taking Emma to the alley, I was able to shoot a few things I loved for this week's assignment.
I will be adding more than these for the final prints, and probably choosing one of these shown. But these were my three favorites.

Moods of the Dreary II
Another work day in photography with nothing to show, I decided to go out and photograph once more. Picking a few more countryside locations, I set out with a friend and took a few random turns out past Saratoga Lake. Lost on the winding roads of some town I'd never heard of, my dreary moody pictures continue from my shots last class I went out.
On our way to said countryside, we crossed a one lane bridge and parked in the lot on the other side, allowing us to take some shots on the lake. A trailer park sits nestled on this side, another overlooked, average scene. I couldn't help but to add this last minute to the set.
Travelling under the bridge, I managed to capture a shot of the other side, a boat place sitting on the frozen shores of the lake.
Many roads thankfully were empty today. Cruising in the country got me plenty of road shots, which I couldn't get enough of, not when they're bare and fabulous. But this one capture my eye because of the light, which seemed so eerie today in some shots. Not that it looked so dark in actuality, but my camera seemed to want to add a mood - and I agreed with it.
Of course, with all the roads comes my love for barns that look like they'll fall apart at any moment. Though I'm sure I have plenty of these accumulated over the years, I thought I'd share this one to add to the series as well.
A few random turns led us to this eerily lit.... something or other. Though it was locked from entrance, this property seemed like the perfect place to photograph.
Of course, on the way home I managed to do one of those things I always do, snap a shot through the windshield at a red light. This little overlooked abandonded plot has been on my mind to go back to for a shoot. However, for now, this fits perfectly in the dreary winter mood.
After accumulating all these images with a similar mood, I hope to use a few of them in the final critique next thursday. I have no idea what I really want to do, but maybe something genius will come to me in the meanwhile.
