An Announcement

Right now I’m playing the video game Anthem, and watching my cat play with a newly rediscovered toy of his. 

I’m also blogging.  I’ve taken some time off from work and given myself a gift: Some time to myself. 

One of those things is writing again, a sort of jump start. Some of the product of that journaling and writing was the discovery of a project. I blogged semi regularly before, but never really had a strong focus for it.  Right now I’m still collecting thoughts on paper, and beginning to get my research accessible and all in one place.

It’s going to involve some pictures, some links on the internet, maybe some names will be changed, maybe not? If a person is named on the internet but is never tagged in social media, were they ever really named at all? It’ll be an exercise more than anything else. A direction, certainly, a destination? I can’t say.

I’ll try to make it sound like we haven’t talked in a while and I’m catching you up.

I’d like that.

Great can.

I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.

Creativity with Limited Equipment

I rarely get a chance at a creative outlet so when friends of mine asked if I could get a few photos of them in costume, I obliged, even though I only had brought the one camera—my Fuji X100t, no speedlights, no reflector, basically no other equipment.

What I did have was diffused natural light, an empty neutral balcony, and my ability to adjust exposure. The models were ready at different times of day so the background changed quite a bit with my lighting situation. I was still able to manipulate exposure to what I think are some great results. I like the drama of the shadows in the last shot.

Models were happy with the results so I am going to call this a success.
