Sleek Pics

By the way, that sleek pic in my profile is actually me. I took that photo in my basement during a fit of creativity (the photography fits come every once in a while). All I did was shade it blue in the computer. This one to the left is another (and much creepier) pic I took on the same day (a few months ago). I changed nothing on this one.

It was a strange "shoot." I've done shoots of other people just for fun; mostly Seth. He has no shame when it comes to facial expressions so the shoots are usually pretty funny and cool. He would make a good actor.

But as for the shoot which these are from, I wasn't photographing someone else. I was photographing myself, and with crazy-nutso lighting tricks I was trying to pull-off. After dozens of start-the-camera timer-run-and-pose pictures which didn't turn out so well, I opted to find a mirror. I placed the mirror behind the camera so I could see what the light was doing on my face when the camera went off. It was a lot of fun, and I would love to do a "shoot" with other people as well. I love photographing people.

You're going to laugh. It was a flashlight.

We only have one window in our basement so I got rid of the outside light pretty easily. I had the flashlight suspended at an angle. I actually cropped a bit out of both pics where you can see runaway light on my body. I only wanted my face so I cropped my body out. :)

Cade- you crack me up. I've noticed I've gotten considerable traffic on my latest entry but no one has the guts to comment. Yay for you!

Cade, I like your blog. Would you like to buy insurance? Just kidding. No spamming. Seriously though...

I'll be back.
