Uniform Project

To view my uniform project click on the link below 



I took a different angle this story. No "action" went on during my photo shoot with me, nor was anybody really around. Originally I wanted the focus to be on how I viewed my dad's job as his daughter, but the story fell flat. So, instead I just used his audio.

Gary update









Here are some more shots of Gary Bonsall. I shot him two Tuesdays ago. He did not habe any interaction with the Students that day. There was some with the adminstration but the pictures did not fair well. He has three workshops coming up with the faculty, as well as a presentation at a conference in Columbia in two weeks. On the weekends, he is known to take board two students from the school at his house. On occassion he also helps out two international students from West Minister College. These are all things I plan to shot in the next few weeks. I also want to shot him at home with his family and see the hardwork he does at the farm. Again, I'm not sure what the story is right now. I'm finding more and more about him that is worth telling...I just don't know how to sum it up yet.  I also experimented in color and black and white. The lighting during the self defense meeting was horrible. I did mine own white balance, but next time I want to gel the flash to see if that creates a better color. I do like this shoots in black and white though. I think the other self defense shots might be more telling in black and white as well. I'm torn though because I like the MSD school shots in color. Could I find mix the two pictures together in a nice package? Or would the color change be distracting...

forgot one....


Doesn't this make you hungry?  

Oh, and on for the record, Christina is pretty positive that there 27 cats in the colony she maintains/feeds.  I saw about 15 when I was there. Crazy!!!








I found this woman at the "Furry Formal" I shot a few weeks ago. Her name is Christina McCullen. She volunteers at Columbia Second Chance and is also a member of SNAP which helps, catch, nuture and release alley cats back into their colonies. By feeding, and nuetering the cats, she is able to maintain the cat colony, rather than let it grow. Her and husband stumbled across this cat colony when they went out to diner at a Columbia fast food chain in October 2006. Christina and her husband usually feed the cats twice a day. I am going to continue shooting her. I will be taking pictures the next time she makes another cat home, recieves more donations and hopefully pictures of her at home. The McCullens also fosters animals from Second Chance and have around 6 pets of their own. These people are some very dedicated animal lovers who are trying to make a difference in animals lives.
