Business

I have a business question. Looking at what people are posting on their personal blogs it seems like the majority of us are interested in taking pictures of people. I think it might be fun to have a photo shoot with some volunteer models (which could be ourselves or could be friends, depending on who we can convince to help us out). Before I go through the effort of putting together a photo shoot and finding potential models I'd like to know first, that there's interest, and second, what people's schedules are like.

So, if you're interested in participating in a practice photo shoot, please leave a comment on this post with your name and what evenings or weekends will work. I'm thinking we should aim for about a month from now (late April/early May) and either a weekday evening, after 6:30 or 7 pm, or a Saturday afternoon, probably not much earlier than that (since that's when the light's good anyway). Also, if you have suggestions on potential models (i.e.--friends you think you can convince to pose for us) and suggestions on places for the shoot, include those.

Thanks,

Kristine

Easter challenge: O'Keefe

I'm calling this one a challenge because it's not an assignment per se. Please continue to work on the previous assignments and post them as you finish them. For this weekend, since it's Easter, let's focus on taking pictures of Easter-y things (eggs, pretty dresses, flowers, food, etc.). As you're taking these pictures, try to emulate the style of a Georgia O'Keefe painting (see here if you're not familiar with her work). Focus on colors (especially pastels) and smooth, gentle lines. Create a picture of beauty to celebrate this weekend and share it with us!
