Drum and bugle corps was practicing at the local high school a couple of years ago. These kids were amazingly dedicated...sweating and working hard in the summer heat.
Several "staff"...former band members? all had jobs. This blond girl in the black bikini seemed intent on watching the size and position of every step.
I'm starting to push myself out of my comfort zone by trying to learn how to do portraiture. Starting with SPs for now. I've got a LONG way to go. So many of my friends here on flickr are so good at this.
during the nuremberg trials, the axis leaders were specifically charged with crimes that the allied powers did not commit. prior to world war two, the official policy of targeting civilians by massive ariel bombardment was perceived as illegal and barbaric. these photos, taken by my grandfather, as he served as an aerial navigator for the allies serves to demonstrate the level of the savagery committed by both sides. the planes were sometimes miles up, and, lacking precision guidance systems were almost entirely unable to predict where their bombs would fall. i am a pacifist. i abhor the murder of any living thing. i posted these photos because they are a powerful and chilling reminder of the casual stance that our government (i am from the united states) takes when it comes to taking innocent life. the people not pictured in the photos who were on the receiving end of these weapons were mothers, fathers, children. we are all human beings. we are all sacred. peace.
Fires in the mountains and I need to practice near/far focus.
I cheated a little, stopping down and using the adjustment scale on the rear focus knob. I'm not convinced it worked. Still, not too bad.

An unedited webcam comparison photo. One side with make-up, the other completely make-up free. I used a very light cream foundation for the base. Finished it off with light powder and shimmer. It is actually whiter and more shimmery/glittery in person.
Btw, my left eye looks bigger than the right and that's just because of eye-liner. Skipped out on those circle lenses that make your irises look bigger. It is 12 midnight now and putting on contact lenses this late is quite uncomfortable.
Somehow, the shot reminds me of this Mulan Poster:

LOL
Again, sorry can't help myself. Playing with new make-up feels like playing with new art materials or new photography equipment. Exciting! LOL I'll be going as the White Queen with my lil sis *orangeish as Alice, and my good old friend Faus Ontengco as The Mad Hatter. We'll be doing this next weekend for Power Plant's Alice in Wonderland Tea Party.
Alice Tea Party Event:
Aviation Nation 2008 rehearsal day
The bad news: I had to return unexpectedly to California this evening
The good news: I got some decent shots today during practice
The bad news: I will not be at the air show tomorrow
The good news: I think I can get up early and make it for Sunday's show

My wife has been practicing her makeup skills recently, and here she was trying out some new eyeliner designs. She asked me to take a picture so she could see what it looked like.
Shooting this took about 20 seconds and exactly two shots. The first exposure was slightly overexposed, and then this second one was perfect. My wife didn't think I was taking her seriously when I said we were done, but when she looked at the camera LCD, she smiled and that was it.

Sketched quickly from the imagination (really just plop down the washes and let it go where it may). I'm using these to practice technique without getting "attached" to the work. I think I'll be doing quite a few of these for a while.
