Secret Assignment

So my recent assignment for class was a themed around "secrets" so we wrote a bunch of stuff on paper and turned it in and there were a lot of things about not having money or being poor but a couple caught my attention that I had to do. The first being " I like to dress like a crow and yell at people at 4 am out of taxi cabs". I thought woah this is great but because of some class limitations I wouldn't be able to do a direct translation so I did dress like a crow and cut out some of the rest of it. The second secret that caught my attention was a person apparently wants to be a cannibal. Or at least try human flesh in the class, not sure if that one is a blatant lie or if it is true but the second image is a take on cannibalism. Hopefully my allusion in the image comes across well but I know it will make people think and I feel it is pretty smart in a couple of ways. I won't go into too much detail on it but if you want please leave a comment about what you think it is alluding to.

Slight Differences

1

Well I decided it would be a good time for a semi non school related post. One of these I might be using for homework in the near future but this post is mainly for the show of slight differences in two similar photos.

The photoshoot idea was dressing as a crow. Like I said before this might end up being used for a school assignment but I am unsure of it as my other shoots might be better and might be more appealing to the viewer.  So time will tell for that, but the model is my wonderful girlfriend Mahkayla and I think both images of her are stunning. I do like the second image more for various reasons but I am curious on what my readers think of the two shots. If you would like please tell me which image is your favorite and why.

Sasha Cardinale-Weinberg Photoshoot

     This blog post is long overdue considering I took these photos right after Fanime. I been busy getting ready for my move to San Fransisco so my posting has been very infrequent unlike when I first started the blog. I been slightly engrossed in the Homestuck Fandom and by my self made gamefly get all your money's worth game schedule I have put myself on. Soon I should have another post with my little sisters graduation shots and probably another set that I took a while back. Soon I will be doing a self portrait set and some other silly little things before I abscond from Arizona.

 Right here is going to be some shameless self promotion for you guys on facebook to like my photography page: Taylor Claiborne Photography on Facebook.

Anyway here are the photos I took of my dear friend and future roommate Sasha featuring her little sister in the second image.


This was a fun shoot in Aptos, California since it was after Fanime we were all a little tired but the trip was amazing. I have never wandering in an actual forest until then. Since a lot of minor details and major events are still fuzzy from the lack of sleep and the hikes I can't comment about it too much but it was an amazing adventure.  I have a feeling my black and white style is getting to be more favorable to me. I know the caffenol scans probably aren't as good as they could be so that will be a trip on it's own to get that properly done but this is just the start of that still.

Britten Photoshoot

     Well this one was fun, besides the searing heat and somehow cutting my leg and ripping out parts of my hand magically. I was testing some ideas I had in the little cave that Miles and I have found and they seemed to work like a charm. Unfortunately I had the ISO cranked to high so the color photos don't look as well as the black and whites look awesome. OH HEY CHECK THIS OUT, YOU CAN SEE THE PHOTOS BELOW. I did a lot more processing on these than what I normally do but I don't think doing processing like this is a bad thing every once in a while.
