Here's my final project from my Fall 2011 Digital Photography class. I decided to continue with the "Eddie and Crimson Ghost" theme. So here it is- "A Day in the Life of Eddie and the Crimson Ghost" (includes 3 deleted scenes).

Well, it's the "New Year", "2012". I'm out of school for real, SEE YOU IN HELL RAMAPO!! No, but seriously. I didn't think I'd be continuing with this blog, but, I guess something has happened. You see, I've always had a love for photography, but haven't embraced it in a while due to not having an awesome SLR camera. Anyway- I learned how to take alright photos with the point and click digi camera I have, I've had it for a few years. Anyway, I'll shut up now, below are a few of the later assignments I had to do for my Digital Photography class. I'll upload my final project on a later date followed by some new stuff. That is all- HAVE A GREAT YEAR!! And if anyone wants to give me a job, I'd appreciate it.

My first attempt at a panorama.

What happens when cloning goes wrong??

This picture defines the 80's, which defines who I am- scanned from 35mm film.

I can feel the coldness of the Autumn snow just by looking at this. But seriously, I like the light and shadows and also the vibrant colors.

I went low with this one to get the lower third of the photo in the shadow. The rest of the picture emerges in the light.

The horror of my reflection resulted in my face being frozen.

I just really like how my shadow is the primary subject of this photo. I also think that the diagonal of the shadow makes the picture.

One of the last 200, this captures the last of day light of a Fall day. I also enjoy the diagonal of the hill.

The Start, a small taste

I was coming home late one night and noticed a fox on the top of my road. I slowly followed it down the road and realized my digi camera was on my passenger seat. I blindly took a photo of it and this is the result. It's a tad grainy, but I feel it works with the glowing eyes.

Ava Rae, 3 years old. I always enjoyed this shot I took of my God Daughter. Music has always been a passion of mine, so I thought I'd capture this moment of her at an early age.

A cell phone pic I doctored up in Photoshop back in May 2011. I was cleaning/windexing a drum head, and thought it gave off an awesome reflection. Besides my hair being out of control, I feel this came out awesome for a crappy cell phone picture. I also enjoy (depending how you look at it) the different levels of the silhouette.

I was still slightly intoxicated after a family event, so (since I couldn't really drive anywhere), I set up a diy back drop, a few lights and set up the timer on my old digi camera. I definitely had way too much fun for my own good. I took a few dozen photos with various props/sunglasses. This is one of the better shots I thought.

My good pal Jamie Frost and myself being total dorks (a solid 5 years ago). I was playing around with slow shutter speeds as we were shaking our heads back and forth like total morons. This picture sums up a lot about my life.
