Conceptual photography pertaining to the quote "Every child is born an artist, the problem is to remain one once they grow up." by Pablo Picasso.
It is most difficult to find this contrast because I usually don't care of it. ButI tried to find and I shook my hand and my dog hand. I and the dog are animal but It different from kinds of creature.
Anyone who knows me knows that I have this weird fascination with basically anything floral. Soo, I finally got up and learned how to make a flower crown, using the wildflowers that grow near my house. My head is so colorful you'd think I lived in a beautifully colorful place. I don't, believe me. Its all very monotone green. And that's only because of the season. Usually it's all monotone brown. I can't complain too much, though... atleast I have some plants (:
My goal with this photo was mainly to contrast the color and livelihood of the flowers, and the darkness and lack of detail in the black outfit, black backdrop, and black makeup. I didn't (and still don't) have a life or emotional comparison to this photo, like I usually try to in my 365s. This is all visual in my mind. However, it was very interesting during the process of making it and shooting this how quickly the flowers wilted... but it wasn't all of them. Mainly it was the daisies. They were absolutely beautiful when I first picked them, but by the time I had finished shooting they were wilted and almost unrecognizable. Isn't it curious how fast these things transform, and isn't it curious how our culture prizes picking these beautiful living things only to have them die so we can look at them for a bit?
...Oops, I think I've gone on a bit of a rant. (:I hope you like the photo!

Everyone meet Nathan my amazing Husband!
I literally had 10 minutes to shoot this when I asked him to do this with me before loosing my sun up here in CT. As a result, I unfortunately didn't get to try my original concept of getting him all dirty and mussed up for this like I intended, coupled with the fact that I'm back down to my XS instead of my Mark II for a couple of weeks. However, I'm still pleased with what I could do in the limited time I had to run to location, assemble camera, test settings and find a shot that worked with his wrist brace! Despite it not being exactly the mood I was going for, he was a trooper 20 degree weather and in snow for me and I couldn't be more appreciative <3
This is technically my entry for the event currently being hosted by the talented David Talley. The concept for January's collaboration was 'Loosing Ground' and while I didn't get the detail in this that I wanted as stated above, I feel that it still portrays a degree of emotion not lost in that theme. I tried to stay away from heavy editing or manipulation for the first few months/entries due to the fact that there will be an extreme number of entries that do so. I wanted this to feel organic and true instead of starting with something 'unreal' so this is pretty much SOOC.
Definitely something I plan to re-shoot at a later date to get different shots and perspectives of this mood when I get my baby back! And not the one pictured <3

not sure how to feel about this one but i've been meaning to edit it for a while and finally got around to it. hoping to shoot more in October with halloween coming up tho! i also need to work on making myself shoot even when i'm tired or when i'm not doing anything. i need to manage my time better and keep myself busy
i just really want to get back into concept photos bc they made me happier- i was working harder and putting more thought into shooting and i felt more accomplished when i completed something.
thanks for sticking around, i hope i can start producing some really good stuff soon :)
