i started a new photo blog
mariacameliphotography.tumblr.com
i might still post on this one but check it out!

wrap up

            This blog process wasn’t totally new to me, but it was interesting to make my work public. I have my work on other sites, but a blog is a better setting to spark conversation and talk about the work yourself. I enjoyed having to post a ‘photo a day’ it was a little challenging because I didn’t have as many photos to choose from as I would of liked. But at the same time the work that I had to choose from was a lot more thought out than first quarter because we had a lot of long-term assignments. I generally always posted my final work rather than work in progress because I feel that my final work is the best. However I think it would be a better idea to show both the work in progress as well as the final product to get feedback as to how you can better the photos. I like the idea of a blog because it is a very informal way to show my work and state how I feel about it. It was also a great place to get feedback. One downside to the blog is if you go in depth about what you were trying to convey or get across with the picture you don’t leave as much of that up to the viewer.

            I will probably plan on continuing my blog, I like to post an image and talk about it instead of just making it about a body of work. I would like to further explore more blogs and gain ideas and inspiration from them. Blogs are becoming more and more popular in the world of photography. It’s a chance for them to share what they thought about the shoot and give a few preview shots.

            I think blogs can be a little limiting in that the photos might not be in the appropriate setting. It also makes photography open to everyone in the world not just the professionals. Blogs can also make photography very informal and not taken to the seriousness that it should be. 

dear best friend,

this was one of my favorite days with you.

revisiting my summertime photo shoots with the best

and here is where i get personal, gee i hope you never see this.

Here's the story.
Divorced when I was two.
Never experienced two parents living in the same household (that I remember, obviously) or getting along for that matter.
Well anyway fast forward 15 years. Graduation day.
This is one out of two pictures where all three of us are together. It seems unnatural for us to have a picture together.
I'm glad my dad is smart enough to realize this picture will actually mean something to me in the future. Or right that moment.
All said and done after that picture was taken, the moment was over, back to reality when I am in the middle.
Skip to November? I am now legally my mother's. I am not on my dad's health insurance and he isn't paying child support.
I don't even have a clear picture of how I feel about all of this. About them.

here it is.

last image; sorry the for the overload

this goes out to fred.

this picture is still hanging in the photo room.

i'm glad i'm a legend.

as pathetic as it sounds.

the fact that you will not appear in my book is far from a coincidence

i love my soon to be roommate

It's all about the exposure the lens I told her
The angles were all wrong now

dear cleveland,

you're just so pretty.

oh christmas <3

i can't wait to be in this wedding.

:)

my best friend is my best friend.

when we get back together it’s like nothing has changed, everything is back where it should be and i love it.

we sat with two of our other friends and reminisced about high school and things of that nature it was wonderful.

maybe it’s so great because that’s when everything was great, and when i’m thinking about the past i don’t think about the present.

we still say the same thing at the same time and in the same tone over and over and over again.

we can still finish each others sentences and understand grunts.

i love this girl and the way we communicate.

she is and will be forever my best friend.
