Lost Flash Drive

Today I lost one of my flash drives. I have two, but my 4.0 drive is gone! Thank goodness I put my photos all onto a cd at school before the Christmas break. Its sad that I have to go out to buy a new one, but I'm just happy I still have the photos on a cd.

I found Nemo.

For one of my christmas presents, I got to go to the Georgia Aquarium. While looking at the amazing animals, and fish, I found Nemo!

Sleeping On The Job

Getting ready for Black Friday is never an easy task. My manager Amanda works up to 60-85 in a week, not every 2 weeks, in a week. During her break today on the crazy day, I got her taking a snooze. Poor Ms. Amanda is as tired as she could be.

Cooking Mom

My friend Heather Well's mother is doing a cook book for Heather and her 2 sisters and her little brother for christmas. Yet, she wants the cover to be pictures of her her as the subject, but in something that relates to the girls and baby Cal. My fave one for Cal is Elmo and Mrs. Wells looking at a cook book. Hope he likes mommy and Elmo on the front of his cook book.

I have fell in love with Kellie Pickler and found a youtube video of one of her photo shoots!! 

Jenna

I took this picture of Jenna, a little girl at my church. She just happens to be a teacher from high school little girl, and she's so sweet. Jenna never really smiles much, that's just her personality. She's very quite but a lovely child. 

Working on Fashion

Before After 

I was working on my fashion shots for Mrs. Harkins class. With the help with Brian Hall, he showed me some great ideas to help my picture look better. 

Interview with Me

Michelle Glass interviewed me for Mr. Jones Class. Check it out!! Learn more about me, listen to my voice, and see how Michelle asked questions!! 

Since I am doing my final four on ballet, I found this video of a girl getting her photos done, and she just happens to be a ballerina. Her photos are posted, which mine can't be. The girls and boys have to be doing their everyday practice when I take the shot.

Boys in Ballet

For final four in Ms. Finch's class I am doing ballet. I was very excited about how there were 2 teenage boys in the ballet class. The sad thing was that they were better then half the girls there. Let's see photography boys do this!! 

Stewart Shining

Yes, this photo was taking awhile back. Yet, the photographer who photographed this photo has been in the fashion world for awile as well. Stewart Shining is a New-Based fashion photographer who's worked on many photo shoots with Abercrombie & Fitch, J Crew, produced many covers for Rolling Stone. when People magazine posted "World's Most Beautiful Person" he was choosen as the photograpger. I would love to work with him one day....ONE DAY!!

Yes, today was a cloudy/rainy day, yet somehow I was able to get my fashion photo done. I went down to Atlanta to take pictures of my friend Alanna. We had a great time walking around and finding random places to take photos at! Hopefully Mrs. Harkins will like ONE of out the 50-75 that I took!

Interview With Katie Darby

For Mr. Jones' Class we had to interview someone in our class. I interviewed the amazing photographer student, Ms. Katie Darby. We talked about holidays, class that she has this year, her favorite class, and what she plans to do with her photography later in life. Hope you enjoy!

Sweat and Football

At his last game of high school, Josh Martin watches from the sidelines at his teams win against the Northview Titans. North came out this season with a 5-5 record. The best North Forsyth has done since the 2005 season. It was a great win for the boys. 

Group

Here is the upper quarter at Gwinnett Tech. This is our finally year!! Aren't we a great looking group?!! Click here for the Holiday Blog. 

Spot News

Coming back from Photo Barn today during school, Michelle, Brian, and I saw some spot new. At a local gas station in Gwinnett, 5 teenagers were arrested  for possible "a stolen car." 7 police cars were on the scene. Yet, the police could not give us all the details due to the teenagers being under age. The officers on the cast was Office Bail, and Office Landress. This photo was taken by Michelle Glass,who was the only one who had her camera. Brian and I just thought it was a fast trip to photo barn. We learned now to always have your camera with you no matter where you go. Great job Michelle. It was a trip we will all remember. 

Fill Flash

Tonight I took my cousin Megan, to help me with my fill flash. We took some shots, and she was a great sport with being my subject. Thanks Meg!

Casey The Racer

Today was Casey Carden's last race for this 2008 season in this race car season. I made him model for one of my photojournalism assignments. He was leading 4th into the 10th lap, but then the car got away from him and ran into the wall. Thank God he was ok, cause as a nervous girlfriend seeing her boyfriend crash isn't the best thing. Click here for more photos. 

Bar

When most people say the word "Bar", drinking might come into mind. Yet, as a dancer, the word bar means more. Holding your balance is the main thing that a bar does in ballet.

Alex Majoli

Alex Majoli, a photojournalist takes about "living in the moment." Talking about how a picture can give life and meaning to something much bigger then the world "war" itself.

Post Election

History was made last night. American will have her first black president. For photojournalism we had to go take pictures of post-election. I went to a local voting spot that happens to be a church. There were McCain signs everywhere, and there happen to be one in front of the grave yard. I shot this to give on irony to history. Though McCain is not dead, he and trys to become president are over and Obama is the 44th president.

Canon 5D

Just when you think Canon can't get any better, they pull out the 5D. The full-framed camera with a newly designed 21MP Canon CMOS sensor, DIGIC 4, ISO 50-25,600, live view mode, and HD Video Capability allowing users to shoot video at full 1080 resolution. WOW! Only running around $2,699.00 for the body! Better start saving that money! Click Here for more information about it. 

POP goes the can

At my church's fall festive we had a game where the kid would throw the ball and hit the cans. I got behind the cans and got some shot of kids hitting it. It was really cool and fun to see the kids try so hard to get all 3 cans down, it wasn't fun to get hit with the ball and a camera in hand too. Here is Hunter Adams trying to get all 3 cans down. 

Photoshop CS4

I don't have a laptop yet, but now that Photoshop CS4 came out, I think that is what I will put on it. CS3 has became something in the past. Things in photoshop CS4 that have been enhanced is depth of field, layers, better raw images, and the new adjustments panel. Things just get better with techonlogy in the world. Click on the picture to go to the review website.

Black Cats and Wtiches

Today is Halloween and like most 9 year old girls, they want to dress up. My sister, Hannah, wanted to be a witch this year. And most great witches have black cats. So does my family. Here is a picture of Hannah with our cat Ivey on Halloween.

Emily and Audrey

Emily and Audrey this summer at the beach. Yes, sun burn and all. The girls wanted to model with the sunset behind them, but I just wanted their picture faces in the photo.

Nigel Barker Interview

Here is the world famous fashion photography Nigel Barker at the Kentucky Derby. I put this on my blog due to the fact that my teacher Ms. Sherri Finch was also at the Kentucky Derby the same week. Nigel is best known for his amazing photos and being a judge on the Tyra Bank's show American's Next Top Model.

Candy Apples For Fall

At the Cumming Fair, candy apples are a big hit. The fair only comes once a year and everyone knows there is going to be candy apples there. Here are some apples before the got all candy-up and the ones that are ready to be sold are behind them. 

Kung Fu Dawsonville

This weekend at the Moonshine Festival in Dawsonville, (no, there is no moonshine to drink), they had a kung fu show in the square. This is a shot of the main teacher kicking the apple off the sword, and I just got the action shot. 

Low Key

Last Tuesday I had to shoot low key. I shot Ms.Katie Darby. We played around with the hat and sunglasses. Some of her faces looked like she was going to kill me after we got done. Yet, this photo, she has a nice smile. Thanks Katie!

Coca-Cola

You would never know a Coke could be so amazing. In the south, everything is a Coke. Not pop, or soda, or any other name like that, its Coke. If you want something different, you better call it by its real name. Mt. Dew, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper......in the south....it's a COKE!

Eye For Haunted Barn

The youth group at our church put on a haunted barn this weekend. It will go until Halloween night. Two friends and I put on a "Witch's Room." Here is a picture of the eyes we used to scare people with. 

Tristan Sawyer

Aubri Starr

For our "Childern" project, I took a photo of my friend's little sitter, Aubri. She was suppose to be a princess yet, we were able to get a shot of her in her dress on top of the pumpkin. Yes, there we're many trys, but we got some from every angle.

Gizmo

For my school's "Animal Project," I shot my friend Anita's dog, Gizmo. This seen is suppose to be him in the bathroom getting caught in the toilet paper. His face seems so to say "Are you talking to me? I didn't do it." 

North Forsyth Vs. South Forsyth Football 2008

It had been 7 years since the North Forsyth Raiders had beat South Forsyth War Eagles. Yet, on Oct. 10th, 2008 the Raiders came up on top with a 27-7 lead. David Knorr has the ball, while getting a hit by North Forsyth's Jonathan Umphenour.
