Updates, After A Month

It's been a while since I posted anything. College has once again gotten in my way, but with the finals coming, I'm finding that I'd have more time for other things than I originally thought. Probably a good thing, since it means I could possibly focus on my photography again.

The youth-modeling project, I'm hoping to start pushing forward soon. We were going to have some shoots at a park, but the weather was clear and the sun was so bright, most of the pictures didn't come out so great. We plan to try again, when we can carry around something to diffuse the large amount of light. We also decided to mostly work in shade from now on, provided that I can ensure their eyes are bright (after all, without light the eyes seem dull and lifeless, which isn't always fun to see). For fans of the project, please continue being patient. Not only would the original three models come back, but hopefully Storm might make a temporary return, and there may be a few more youth models joining soon. All in due time.

Not only that, about the project, but the main issue is making sure I have at least 100 pictures of a model for the CD. Still learning how to handle that!

For my photography in general, I started again but with old houses. Still looking for old houses to take pictures of, especially when I could go inside them – they are full of history and mystery, and being able to somehow put that in a picture seems to make it more fun, despite the dangers of loose or rotten boards and many cobwebs being in the way.
