Oh blog, how I have neglected you.

Finally got around to pretending I'm still doing this project properly. Sigh. SOME DAY. PERSERVERENCE.

This "week's" shot inspired by the shot below (also by me!):

I was told it looked sort of like geisha makeup, which sounded kinda cool, so I thought why not give it a swing. My lovely friend Laurie bought me the parasol back in first year for secret santa. It's a lovely prop. I need to figure out how to display it proper. There's an alternate shot on my flickr photostream if you're interested.

My BenNye aqua cakes finally got their turn, very minimally, in the first shot. They're like putting water colour paint on your face. It's quite interesting how they work. I need to do something more elaborate in the future with them though. I enjoyed the small 'pop of red' for now though.

Anywho, I've got some new stuff to upload eventually. I did photos for my cousin's little boy's 5th birthday. He's adorable and hilarious. Got a few rounds of headshots in for some new people as well. Tried doing more theatre stills, didn't turn out quite as nice as the last one, but it was during a practice run so it wasn't lit the way it would be on stage. However, I got to get up close with the actors so the shots are more dynamic than last time!

This weekend I am off to Ottawa for another photo job. Can't wait, I haven't been there since my grade eight grad trip. Should be wonderful!

Hmmmmmmm. Yah, I still don't know how I feel about this one. I was happy about it until I started editing and then I just had mixed feelings. Ah well, it's something.

I have another for the 52 project in the works. It's just... there's so much editing involved when you decide to pretend you live on the ceiling (think week 15). It should be a fun mini-series though. I just... have to do it. Blahhh.

On the plus, I am nearly finished another large drawing. Soon, my pets. Soon.

I don't think I've posted this one yet. I finished it back in March, I guess I just haven't gotten around to documenting it. Yesterday I decided to photograph a bunch of drawings I've done this year. I posted them to flickr, so take a look if you wish (click on the image to take you there), most have already been posted here though. Detail photos are also contained in the comments of the images on flickr.

Feels like I haven't been doing much drawing lately. Or, well, anything but photography, really. Must motivate self...
