Wearable Wonders
My most recent assignment from work took place on Saturday night at the Louisiana State Museum of Art. There was a fashion show entitled "Wearable Wonders". I saw a lot of really interesting designs and met the people behind who designed them. Although there weren't many restriction as to what was allowed for a design, each person still did a great job of translating an abstract concept into a tangible and appealing work of art. In the short time that I was there I learned a few things : Fashion shows are entertaining,. People at fashion shows wear less clothing. I love my job.
SNAPSHOT from work
For those of you who do not know, I am now a photographer for the LSU Reveille. My most recent assignment was a SNAPSHOT. Snapshots are sets of pictures that show objects/places of interest around campus to be featured at the Reveille's website : www.lsureveille.com . The subject of the assignment was windows; I was to take pictures of windows with shots looking in from the outside and vice versa. See below for my favorites or click here to see all of the shots. Please leave comments/suggestion as this is my first featured assignment and I'm interested to hear what you all think. Thanks.
Chicago 2008 Continued: BySpire
There is a new building planned for construction called the Spire. It is one of the greatest architectural masterpieces ever planned, next to the Burge in Dubai. See some the concept in progress at www.thechicagospire.com . It is to be built to the left of the building you see in the picture below.
Chicago 2008
My recent trip to Chicago was a great one as usual. I took a boat tour and got to see the buildings from a different angle. Our tour guide was also very knowledgeable about the history of the buildings and any interesting stories related to their founding people. I would definitely recommend a boat tour to anyone planning on making a trip to Chicago. Itll make you look at the architecture in a new way. Also, sorry for the lack of updates, Ill try to keep them coming at a fair rate.
Prowling Audi
A couple of days ago I went out to get some shots for a photography contest. The subject was supposed to be a landscape so I drove down the road to this crop/field with some cropping/field tool thats pretty big. As I was walking back to the car after getting enough shots I decided that the lighting was just right to get some of the car. As for the landscape shots, Im less than satisfied. Now that you guys have seen the scene (no pun intended) I would like to hear what you have to suggest as to how to capture it properly. You don't have to be a photographer to make a suggestion, something like "a little to the left" is ju
st fine. Thanks!
st fine. Thanks!
Caution : Jellyfish
I wouldn't mind seeing this sign at all because it means that a beach is nearby or that the sand im standing on is in fact beach sand. Luckily while I was there I had no encounters with the little ****'s.

How Do You Become Spiderman?
A spider was crawling on a gardening rake and stopped on the very tip. My friend insisted that I get a close up shot of it, but what may not be apparent is that I only had my 18-55 kit lens...
Natchitoches Jazz Fest
This past weekend I was lucky enough to goto the Natchitoches Jazz Fest. It was a long day as we started setup of the stage at 7am and were loaded up by 1am the next morning. Besides that I had a great time helping out, shooting pictures, and most of all, learning the technicalities of a live stage production. Believe it or not a good part of the sound work takes place while the music is going. The sound guys are constantly checking levels, knocking out unpleasant frequencies, leveling, panning, etc... all while under pressure of pleasing the band. Respect to you guys. Here are some shots showing that show the event before and during it. The big Yamaha box contains a mixing board too big to be taken out of the box. The whole box with its top off is propped on a stand. Enjoy.
Winter Trip to London
Hello again to everyone. Its been a long time since Ive updated. I was in London during Christmas break and found myself busier then usual there and even when I returned. Now that I have finally got school timing down I can set some aside for the site. I will be posting my London trip in a series of posts as theres too many to have them up all at once. New Years was great, as was Christmas. Also, for those interested, I will be offering portrait sessions soon so keep an eye out and check back for updates. The first couple of shots dont show much of London as they are more like stock photos.
