Annoyed

So apparently my free memory space is filled up for my pictures and it says I need to purchase more. However, I think there is a way around this. I will have to ask my teacher Joe Z. because I know he has a blogger blog!

Some portrait quotes I found and liked!

"So many people dislike themselves so thoroughly that they never see any reproduction of themselves that suits. None of us is born with the right face. It’s a tough job being a portrait photographer." ~Imogen Cunningham    So much truth in this. I despise being photographed and it's VERY hard to photograph another!

"A good portrait is incredibly hard to create, there is too much temptation to pander to the individual rather than portray them as they really were." ~Philipe Halsman    It is difficult to make a portrait that portrays who the person truly is on the inside, not necessarily the outside.

"A portrait! What could be more simple and more complex, more obvious and more profound." ~Charles Baudelaire    Ha ha yes. Portraits are both simple and complex at the same exact time. The portrait may depict Plain Jane, but the meaning behind it could be profound.

"Photography is a calling that requires vigilance and alertness for that moment in time that only occurs once." ~Caroline Mueller This quote isn't really about portraits, but I found it on the same website and I REALLY liked it:)

Portraits of Zoe C.

We have started the portrait assignment for this quarter. One portrait is supposed to be Plain Jane and the second is supposed to be wild. So far I have done the plain one. Zoe is another student in my class and she is my model. I think it would have been difficult to get my dorm friends into the studio at 8am in the morning so I'm glad we got to work with fellow photography students. I have enjoyed working with Zoe so far and it's been nice to get to know her better:)
