Two photos on Flickr

Heard about sightings of crossbills at Liberty Park(location of Tracy Aviary) and decided to take time off work to attempt a photo. After some searching, I found the birds high in the trees. To my delight, I was rewarded with both N.A. species; Red Crossbill and the more elusive White-winged Crossbill. I may have to go back tomorrow for a better look!

Tough start of a new week. Bad results in several stupid tests at school lately and a lot of work to finish before intense days of practice tests next week. You see what I'm talking about ?

So after courses me and Loic had to made a new shot for the school project we've been working on all the weekend. The theme is "Do it as..." a (famous or not so) photographer.

The original feelings we had with this work were very great, we found we had to understand the style of a photographer and shot new pictures with this particular style. We also have to redact about this photographer, define his style and explain his pictures.

In fact, that's basically less interesting, we have to purely copy two pictures of a photographer like a xerox and describe "technically" the original pictures.

Whatever, it's been several weeks that I wanted to make a tribute to Dustin Diaz with this theme, cause he has been inspiring for me. But in the end, I was really unmotivated to just copy his work.

Don't think that's the better way to learn something...

I've been working on learning how Dustin does his pictures for few months to inspire my own ones and be able to shoot something decent for this theme.

Finally I decided to change and try some new things, I wanted to make fashion pictures outdoor with the spring feeling, I found great fashion pictures by Ted Grambeau, but that was not really what I wanted to do. I've shot some pics as Ted Grambeau this Sunday with Emmeline, but finally we ended with the Dustin like picture in the subway that I really liked.

With no fashion photographer name found, I decided to get back on my first idea, that's why we had to shot another one this Monday with Loic.

First we went to a lake outside Toulouse with Melissa and Florent where Loic wanted to shoot his theme picture. Found the place interesting and decided to go for a fashion shoot with Melissa for today's shot. After that, we went back to my place to pack the rest of the things we needed for my DD shot and we went to the center to find the right spot.

A lot of hard work. Hope you'll enjoy it cause we don't have that much sleep theese days...

Love to read your comments. Take care, see ya tomorrow.
