Stop Motion

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gg--c40f8W8

This is a stop motion video consisting of around 750 photos. I had the idea to have someone undress, so I had my friend Jack model for me because he agreed to it. I also added some "animation" with the clothes to ensure that my video would be long enough. I like how it turned out but I will definitely want to try this again one day in a better lit setting.

Shadows and Reflections



I recently played around in photoshop with the idea of reflections of a normal picture. After some experiments with it, I decided I really liked to have the "reflection" be black and white. Both of these surreal reflections are different in that the city scape is a direct reflection, and the bridge is a flipped reflection. There is no reason behind that other than I thought it looked best that way. I enjoyed creating these pictures and I plan on constructing more like them whenever I take a wide shot of a pretty view. 


I took this shadow picture on my iphone while I was out with friends to dinner. We were in San Bruno and this large cross walk was outside of a mall and I really liked the way that the shadows looked with the parallel lines. I also took this picture with my film camera, but the picture came out a bit blurry.
