Self Portrait in a Parking Lot

Tyderium — Sat, 29 May 2010 21:37:30 +0000

Here’s a self portrait. I used my fisheye lens attachment for most of the pictures on this trip to Netarts, OR. It’s a cheap way to get fisheye images without paying through the nose for a dedicated fisheye lens. Yes, there is some chromatic abberation and blurring but that just enhances the “snapshot from a cheap camera” appeal. It kind of looks like a Facebook pic since I’m holding the camera instead of using a tripod and cable release/timer, but I work with what’s available and I forgot my tripod this day.

The Sallie Ford show last night was excellent! Everyone should head over to their website and buy their EP, it’s quite good and also quite inexpensive. Check out their MySpace page to preview their work if you like.

If you’re into something more electronic check out Bears of Winter, this song is amazing.

It has been a long, long, long time. I cannot guarantee that we’re back; in the interest of full disclosure, we’re probably not. But we will try to post a pic or two at least semi-frequently.

This song is from a great local band that just won Best New Band in the Willamette Weekly (I think). We’re going to try to see them tomorrow night in Hood River. Should be fun.

Ali asked me to do a photo-shoot for her senior portfolio the other day. Jake would have done it but he was already tied up as the model so the task was taken over by me. It was a great experience and I had fun. It was my first real exposure to studio lighting and I think it went fairly well. Most of the time was dedicated to what Ali needed for her portfolio but there was some extra time for me to experiment a little. Hope you like it.

Music:
“Leave That Thing Alone” – Rush
