The Fourth
This is one of my favorite holidays! It was fun and hot though :) Luckily I can submit photos from home so yay still had time for BBQ :)
One Hard Day
This assignment was hard. The lady in the photo lost her father who was a pastor in a plane crash earlier that morning. She was surprisingly strong. Photographing someone so closely in their home after sitting with them is for only ten minutes was hard. It's hard to be invisible when you have not had a chance to really sympathize with them and just sit and be normal. These photos aren't amazing but that's sometimes situations you will find yourself thrown into. This not a human interest / war zone / third world type of situation where good photos lend themselves. It is not even like a portrait where you keep shooting until you get what you like. This is why working for a newspaper is so interesting, i could never do the office thing. NEVER SAY NEVER RIGHT!

This assignment was one of those quick "my parents are waiting in the car" type of scenario. Usually when I know it's crunch time and the sports writers scheduled two photos in one time slot it requires a lot of patients for the subjects. These guys were really patient as well and again talking with them about everything and nothing is good to get them relaxed not so uptight :) I HATE UPTIGHT anyway. HAVE FUN, relax and enjoy meeting new types of people. **I'm not to thrilled with the shadow behind Lopez's head in the dugout photo. Need to work on getting rid of that.
Rivera's QB J.J. Sanchez
This photo shot was a blast :) These kids always make me laugh.
But J.J. really loved the camera. While I was testing my light he was totally loving the attention. Overall I think making conversation with your subject making them comfortable and being able to laugh with them is very important with portraits. This is not one of my favorites but it was enjoyable none the less.
