Landscape Graffiti

Experiment

This image was taken with film and a plastic lens. It was a double exposure that I try light leaking. I ran it through a Photo shop filter to get the glowing edges. The shape of the head looks like it’s at a profile angle but it’s not, I like the trick it does on the eye.

The Photography Program at Long Beach City College will be hosting their 4th annual PhotoFest@LBCC during the month of April, 2011. The theme for this year's festival is Photography Now, as we look at how photographers are blurring the boundaries between photography's various genres and techniques. The 4th Annual PhotoFest at Long Beach City College is expanding to become a citywide and month-long festival of free photography-related events and celebrations throughout the month of April. Our goal is to celebrate photography and it's impact on our world while providing opportunities for photographers to socialize and share their enthusiasm for photography.

The main emphasis of the festival will be the workshops, demonstrations, art walks, exhibitions and seminars held throughout the month of April. These events are free, open to students and the general public as well, and are suitable for all levels of expertise. The festival will feature a Photography contest that is open to all LBCC students. Our opening event will be the April 1st ArtWalk at Bixby Knolls and our 2nd Saturday ArtWalk exhibition and reception will showcase work from the LBCC photography program as well as reveal the photography contest winners.

March Rain

Two images I shot this week, one before the rain and one after the rain.

Easter Isaac

I was shooting my Godson’s Easter pictures today and he wouldn’t sit still of course, he is a big clown and I caught this image of him and I know his mom can’t use it for an Easter greeting or anything but I like this one. At first I cropped his hand out of the image and liked the cropped version but the hand with its bent fingers grew on me the more I stared at it. The hand adds this awkwardness to the image and I like that, so I kept the hand in.
