So, i haven't really had enough stuff to write about, until yesterday.
I yesterday i started my job for the summer. I'll be a proctor for the upward bound program and what the program does is give an educational opportunity to low income and first generation high school students. First I moved everything (again) into my college dorm room, and it's on the third floor, which means i had to make ten, count them ten! trips up and down the stairs to get my stuff moved in. but with all that said and done, i called it a night. early the next morning the students moved in. Yuck. they had all kinds of stuff, TV's, microwaves, skateboards, xboxs, and hello kitty toasters. all of which was moved in. but other than that the kids have been super active, they are always checking in and out going to play basketball, or hanging out, it's nice to see students that are separated from the internet and technology for a change.
i've been editing some photos from a recent shoot, which was nice. it's a good brake from the kiddos. here's what i have so far.
This is heather, she's a red head that falls down a lot and turns red when she laughs, AKA not gangster. so i changed her in this shoot!
This is conner, he plays every sport under the sun. poor conner i made him do laps till he broke up a good sweat. then i got several great shots finally getting to use the basic lights i got. classic!
The next few are of a girl named jacklyn, she's cool! her goals in life are to make all of her freckles connect so she can be tan... she's getting close. this one was taken with the sun behind her and I was trying to capture the "Golden Hour" look... worked pretty good.
On our stroll through the field to take these shots, i spotted this red rusted out truck, it was prefect! so i was like "get up there" and she did, great shot!
This last one is my favorite! several hours later i had her come over to my grandma's where we have this old shed. i broke out my lights and had a "high fasion" feel to the shots, really happy with the way they turned out!
other than that i'm just living with these kids. i'll keep you up dated.
