just playing around with light

Hi there

So i was watching zach arias's workshop on lighting when i was back home
for my practicum and i was just remembering some of the things that he said reguarding
turning off the sky with aperture so i decided just to fool around with my flash and
see what happened. it may not mean alot to you, but it really was starting to make sense to me, even tho the photo really isnt that good, but atleast i can admit that right?

on another lovely note,
a glass broke while i was washing it last night and it took a good solid chunk out of
my knuckle, I bled FOREVER last night haha it was pretty traumatic.

not doing much else tonight, just watching the canucks disappoint me :( while writing a proposal for my gallery show(which i am doing on live music, of course)

cheers!
Nancy

the ultra creeper shot

Hi there

So today i went to comox lake and walked around....

THEN!

I got the urge to pretend to be a paparazzi and shoot people haha
here is a super creeper shot from today haha I am really getting the urge to go
to a concert soon.. its nearly killing me!! because it is all i want to
photograph at the moment, so I shall go to Jazz night on Thursday

Didnt do much else today, trying to have a lazy day cuz I am just
dead from the last two days adventuring around Van Isle.

I have to write a Bio about myself and my photography later tonight for an

Hopefully when i grow up i dont actually become a paparazzi!
