heres another piece of my design work. this is an option B for my teacher. I’ll be posting the first option that was turned down by my teacher tomorrow. its really quick work, as i had 3 other projects due the same 2 days but it was shot with studio lights and looks alright.
i didn’t technically take this photo but i did set up the lights (and it was my camera, ha!) this is a self portrait (i’m on the left) and my roomate shane is on the right. another shot with the new studio lights.
i got to play around with the new studio lights here at school. so heres michelle fooling around
i am currently rebuilding my website to include my design portfolio (i am a designer after all), so while that finishes up, i thought I would post some work as well as the original photograph i took. my friend cody graciously decided to help me and modeled his ear for what went under a lot of manipulation to satisfy the design concept.
this poster was outputted at 20 x 30 inches large and was one piece of many for the festival (tickets, wristbands, and programs were designed as well).
some students walking.
heres a picture of Kara enjoying her blackberry, just before we went out to shoot. Just having some fun with a sigma 10-22 wide-angle lens. A huge shout out to my friend Braeden Vanrooy for lending me his sigma 10-22, for which this shot was taken with. Check his site out.
the other day i shot some band promos for ‘the author’, a hardcore band out of niagara. here is a portrait of their guitarist damien.
heres one promo shot i took yesterday with ‘the author’, a hardcore band from the niagara region. thanks again to braeden for the use of his lens.
just another shot on the york campus
this is only a screencap of a video i made for class. it’s a short video and we had to make a story around an object that had personal value to us.
let me know what you think!
monologue:
i gave everything i have, everything i ever had.
success comes with a price, and i won the lottery.
dreams come true…if only i slept more often.
like a son watching his father, i studied my idols
and i did the same things they once had. confidence
comes with the abandonment of fear.
success comes with a price…things you can’t buy back.
i can’t find my way out, and the sound of silence is deafening.
does this make me a man? will my father finally be proud of me?
maybe now he won’t forget.
this is what i have, all that i have left.
and i pray it won’t be fleeting away as quickly as it came.
i wish i could freeze time.

this one relates to the last shot. i thought i’d document mikes shots from a differernt perspective. somehow he climbed down into the foot of the falls and then with hip-weights, got right into the stream to take some photos. i’m sure he’ll have some up on his website eventually www.msicoli.com.
a shot i took in the middle of november last year. at first i didn’t like it, but something seems interesting about it now. in the shot is my friend mike sicoli. didn’t have a tripod with me, so shot hand-held balanced on the pedestrian overpass at f10 for 15 seconds, iso 400.
here is a man walking down a snow-coated path on the outskirts of york university during sunset around 5pm. on a special note, I am happy to say that this is the 100th consecutive image i’ve posted to this blog. I’ve learned a great deal my first 100 images, i can’t wait to see what the next 100 bring.
practicing photographing more public life, so i figured i’d take some shots of the mass amount of traffic through vari hall at york university. this hall is full with students all through the day. now only if i had a telephoto lens to get some great closeups!
i’m attempting to get better at photographing strangers. this is a shot of 3 guys from york university just hanging out. i really liked the framing of the wall on the third, to frame the shot. i didn’t feel that awkward, but I did not have a zoom lens so I was pretty close to him (50mm lens), which made the situation a little harder. thoughts?
this is a shot i took before the strike ended where wandering students were at a minimum. today is the fourth day back at class at York University and it is packed everywhere now…there is life again.
this is one photo that was part of a stop-motion movie project I did in september. and I always liked how the sun flared in the lens.
i feel like i robbed the bank after shooting people without them knowing. i don’t know how photographers get comfortable when photographing strangers in city settings.
a shot i always like from last fall. f2.0 at 1/160, my friend Mike walking down a trail in vineland.
a shot of a beautiful beach in florida. f8.0 at 1/500th, i can’t wait to purchase a wide angle lens for shot like these…
just been looking through some shots i did on christmas night in sebring, florida.
a very interesting fisherman i spotted on boxing day at the beach on the gulf around 430pm. beautiful weather down here!
michelle standing in waist high snow by the foot of the falls. f8 at 1/150th
i know its not the best composed photograph, but I thought id share an interesting (and somewhat dangerous) area that my friend and I were photographing from the day earlier. this is a shot after he finished shooting by the side of a large waterfall on the far right (which I could not capture in the same frame).
it took a good twenty minutes to get down to the heart of the waterfall and let me tell you it was a tiring day!
f6.3 at 1/30th
this is my michelle, shot during this christmas break.
f2.2 at 1/60th. iso 200 at 50mm
