A Few Film Shots

update

I haven't blogged in awhile so its time for an update!  I've been doing a lot of things lately with photography so i've been pretty busy.  I got to accompany another photographer to help out with some advertising shots for this hotel.  It was quite a learning experience.  I also have been running around with my new (old) film camera that i just found in a thrift store.  Plus i've been editing and taking pics witch can be pretty time consuming.  Anyway here are a few pics from a recent shoot of my girlfriend and her sister.  We went out to this campground because it was the only place still green during the summer heat and i just messed around while they looked pretty for the camera:

Holly and Hay

Its been a fun weekend for me.  I got to hang out with family and eat (which is always a plus).  And I had a completely unexpected photoshoot with Holly.  I saw this field with newly harvest hay stacked high as I was on the way to her house, so i was like "hey let's go take pictures."  She kindly consented and we got some great images.  And I really like the logo i used, i think it might stick.

Doubt

Doubt.  I think we all struggle with it at one point or another.  Me especially in the past few days.  What is it about the world that makes us doubt ourselves whenever our aspirations are too high.  When we want something a little too much.  Doubt comes along to steal it away.  To push what we desire a little more out of reach.  There might even be times when doubts are advisable.  When you should question your motives, decisions, beliefs, and goals.  But most of the time I think doubt just convinces us that the possible is impossible.  Doubt refuses to let us dream, and to let those dreams become reality.  But I'm beginning to think that I'd rather fail big time, fall flat on my face, than to waste my time doubting myself.  I'm just gonna go live.

I've trying my hand at night photography and its proving quite tricky.  I've been out the last few nights with my camera and friends just snapping some pictures and messing around.  They picture above is one of my more successful attempts.

Graduation Shoot

I had some friends hire me to get some shots of their son's graduation a little while ago.  That kind of stuff always makes me nervous when I first agree to it, because graduations are one of those gigs where there are no do-overs.  No "oops sorry missed that shot, lets try it again."  Plus I don't have a very good telephoto lens at the moment so I was a little worried about how the material would turn out but I really like what I got.  Here's a few of my favorites:
