Photoshop class project

I finished my project for photoshop class. I find selecting images the most challenging but hopeful my professor will appreciate my efforts! The assignment was to take an old image and create a surreal image one, our reference was fine art photographer, Maggie Taylor.Check out her site!!!!

OMG!!!! I did

I've been trying to take a black & white picture and give certain portions of it color ....well, I did it!!!!!!!

My new lens....

Feeling a little defeated these days so.... I went and purchased a 50mm lens. LOVE IT!!!!! I only got the 1.8 which after bought it I considered getting the 1.4 for the extra stop. I'm totally happy with the results of the photos I've taken so far.

I stopped by a photoshoot yesterday and took some behind the scene shoots

Director Kasi Lemmons (Talk to Me) @ AAWIC

The African American Women in Cinema Film Festival debut tonite with a private screening of Talk to Me Directed by Kasi Lemmons.... what I great movie!!!! I found it so sad that so many people were rob of the opportunity to see it in theaters. This movie only showed in select movie theaters when it premiered, but its on dvd I suggested everyone go to Best Buy, Circuit City etc and pick it up...great story but even better directing....

Getting Ready for Class.....

Today I received my prepayment voucher for my FIT classes, I am so excited but I can not stop thinking in the back of my mind i'm I straight crazy for taking one class online at AIO (Art Institute Online) and 3 classes at FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology) there will be so many assignments to do. I have so much time to make up for so.... I'm going to be determined, strong and get these A's.


After walking back and forth between the Barnes and Noble on 20th and 6 ave and 18th and 5 ave, I purchased my two textbooks for class.
I decided this weekend to not buy the nikon d200 and get the canon 30d instead reason being the lenses and flashes that I will purchase for my rebel will not work on a nikon so for now I will work on my purchase of the canon 30d so I purchased two books on both cameras.

Finally....

.....Okay I'm finally starting my photo/video blog



These are a few shots I took yesterday...I love taking photos of kids!!!
