Portrait of an Artist


Lastnight, my pal Nick (from xTDx , Happy Robots, and 13 different bands) wanted some new pictures of himself for facebook or whatever, so I gladly agreed to take them. I need to keep shooting as much as possible, and I certainly need to work on shooting portraits.

Anyways, as time progressed, things got more and more ridiculous. I like how this one turned out. He is out of focus on purpose because I felt the card should be the main focus, then you eyes go to the scene in the background. Besides, If you could see more detail in the fake gun, it would take away from it, in my opinion.

The Herald has a few assignments for me this weekend, If I shoot anything great I will make sure to throw it up here.

On a unrelated note, I am riding the single wave. Both parties involved felt it was the best idea, and hopefully we will remain friends. On a less emotional note, I finished the process to become a substitute teacher, so perhaps that will bring in some more money?

I need to get a new camera body and another flash. I also need to get back to Ireland. I miss that place. All of these things cost money that I don't have. That will change.
