Visual Rhetoric

Kiev 88 - downtime studio shots 

Foggy Day - Love how photogenic my camera is. Shooting with Lomochrome XR Purple.

Foggy Day - Despite having a million things to do, I had to go out to the Bay City State Park and shoot in the fog. By the time we got there, though, the fog had faded a bit and there are only a couple photos where you can tell. It was still a great time and I’m very happy with how I chose to spend my Sunday.

Jinx - While housesitting a couple weeks ago we found this cat. He had a bad limp, he was wet, and his tail was messed up. Now he’s a happy, healthy, well behaved, and photogenic lil guy.

The environment was poorly lit with stage lights creating hot spots on contestants and, mainly, the white backdrop (which is why the above are black and white). Most photos were shot without a flash, I don’t have a speedlight for my Nikon. Despite some problems with crowd control, a very fun shoot.

Black and whites from a leadership camp exercise. Love the light this time of year.

Preview from done of the better events I’ve been able to shoot for SVSU. I’ve just realized that I should be taking photos I enjoy...alongside the more boring ones I’m getting paid for.

Testing out my Kiev 88 that just recently came in the mail from Ukraine. Chemicals are old, but I couldn’t wait to start shooting. Ektar 100.
