with.a. K .photography: March 2011

It all started with a jersey. A Yankees baseball jersey that is. My friend and fellow photographer, Gabriella Rosario, posted as her Facebook status that she was selling two jerseys, so I figured, hey, why not repost this & help her out. Thats how nice I am :] . From facebook, we moved on to a texting session about photography and then to schooling. As I described to her my position in the photography field, I compared it to the dotted line on the roads.

You know, the one that allows you to pass the annoyingly slow person in front of you?? Yes. That one.

The reason why I compared my skill level to the infamous "dotted line" is because I feel as though I know some things about photography but I'm missing information of some of the small things. For example, I recently worked as a second shooter with Mr. Christopher Barth, who was extremely patient with me and remarkable to work with. I noticed with previous jobs that I was having some trouble with my lighting. He told me to lower my ISO [to eliminate graininess] and work with my shutter. Anyways, this helped my pictures a Bunch!

So back to Gabs [Gabriella]. She mentioned to me I should, maybe, enroll in the School of Visual Arts in NY. As my first step, I requested to receive some information thinking I'd receive a few pamphlets about the school. Then, this incredibly Large book arrived, I WAS SO EXCITED !! I reacted as though they sent me a letter stating I was accepted and classes start tomorrow!! but, this was just the information catalog in the form of a HUGE book that looks like a dictionary.

I'm really thinking about doing this. Why not take my photography to another level and expand my horizons?? I brought the book with me as I drove around the city today. Just to show it off and say "No. I cant. I have class tomorrow" haha.

I'm going to think long and hard about this. Well, not too long because I'd like to start in Fall but I'll keep you posted. Heres a few photos I captured of my beautiful, Huge, catalog/ dictionary. & yes. He already received his own mini photo shoot. :]

Do you see my hand print on the book?? Isn't that soo cool??

Its Friday !!!! Enjoy your beautiful weekend everyone!!!

I've been working on a lot of things lately. Had a Maternity Shoot, a First Birthday party, "A Year Already" photo shoot and I started spending time at a photo studio where I've been able to catch up on a lot, but of course, NOT my blog. I don't know what it is. Maybe I'm putting too much thought into it. "am I entertaining my readers?" "am I keeping it interesting?" "is this even interesting enough to write about?". This is supposed to be my 'diary' [ I use that term loosely] and I L.O.V.E. to talk, so why not let it come out naturally. Eh. what can go wrong??

So, here's a sum up, in photography terms, of my recent work :]

Maternity Shoot, which was so much fun !!
