experiments in the studio

this is one of my favourite shots from the studio time i've had this semester. i don't know what it is specifically that i like so much - maybe the fact that the image doesn't look like my friend, but like a character of some sort.  we had a lot of fun playing with my different vintage hats and how they cast shadows. this one worked perfectly because it still let some light through.

i've finally finished editing and printing all of my assignments, ready to be evaluated in tomorrow's class. and because it's night school we get to have a mini christmas party.  sweet.
if you'd like to see more of the portraits, check out my flickr set here. 

photography makes me happy.

Music to love. Florence and the Machine.

I realize i'm not entirely ahead of the curve on this one, considering one of her songs was just covered on Glee, but i've rediscovered Florence this week after her SNL appearance.  If you take a listen to her tracks, new and older, you will probably recognize them.  They are infectious.  But, maybe like me, you haven't watched the videos, and that's where I've become hooked.  This video for Cosmic Love makes me want to rebuild that kaleidoscope set and make it my bedroom.  Beautiful!

I will be dancing along to her albums exclusively for the next few days.
