Random Mid-Day blog: The polaroid has died.


I really love the style of polaroid.


Since I don't have a premium account anymore on Model Mayhem I was trying to decide which photo I should delete to make room for newer ones. I keep going back and forth with a couple of them and decide that I really don't think I'm going to shoot polaroid anymore. I really love the style and feel of it since they stop making the 600 film it's hard to find. If and when you do find some it's not very cost affective. I've see some 600 film (a pack of 10) on ebay go for $50.

I still got 3 polaroid cameras (I had 5 at one time) and one pack of 95 film which I'm sure is expired. If I ever do run across some 600 film I'll try and do more good with it.

Here's a link to my polaroid project:

I wish I used my money and the film wisely and shot more interesting things. I have a bunch of them I still have scanned so I get to that soon enough and be adding them to my flickr page.

I still shoot 35mm film on occasion. I have 3 manual 35mm film camera and I'm wanting to use them everyday.

Till next time. PEACE.

Week 38: It's a bust


Thanks for to good ole' Craiglist, I found first time model Michelle. who save the 52 weeks.


I was suppose to shoot several times this week and because of cancellation due to flakey model and MUA's. Also not have enough time to shoot because as much as I want it to be, photography is not my life and I have other things to take care of. So I was in dire straits to find a model the complete this weeks project assignment. I could have just taken a picture of anything and put it up but I want this project to actually mean something to me. But I want to state that I don't have to take pictures of models nor does this project have to be all about models. I made this so I can take a picture every week. With that picture, I wanted to take the time to think about what I'm doing. See the scene and get the exposure the way I want it. To better myself as a photographer. That's what this project is about.

So all week I was lolli gagging around and all of sudden it's Friday and I haven't shot a model or anything worth wide yet. I hope on CL and put out a casting to see in I could salvage this week. I got a handful of responses and decide on first time model Michelle. She actually did better than some model I work with. Very open to ideas and willing to try new thing. And no that doesn't mean you can get her naked. She did however decide on her own to wear an kind of corset top for the first outfit. Who am I to say no to that. Since this was only yesterday I'm still in the process of post production with you set. But here's photo of her in her first outfit.



Oh, and my site went live this week. lordspam.com. Go check it out.

Week 37: Kevin smith's 37 special


I suck in the dark. Title of the blog doesn't mean anything. If you ever watch all the Kevin Smith movies the number 37 comes up a few time. His new book come out on Tuesday the 22nd the September.



I wanted to do some night shots with Danielle. But it was Really dark and my lens nor myself couldn't focus the camera properly to get some decent picture. Well maybe 2 decent pictures.


I was so frustrated that I ended the shoot early and offer to shoot with her in a Studio. Lillie K opened Xquizit Pix Photography Studio this week. Well I used it Friday afternoon. We (as in the other photographers that were there) were fiddling with lights for a little bit. I think we got some good shots.



I also shot with Brittany Eddy for zivity and Carla Marquez for a portfolio shoot. Still working on those images.

Week 36: 3X Wednesday



Shoot with 3 models on 09/09/2009

This week was supposed to be one of the busy weeks I've ever had in my photography life. I was schedule to shoot on Sunday, Monday, 3 models on Wednesday and to do a fashion show on Thursday night.

Well the model from Sunday's shoot didn't show so she actually flaked. I called her the time of the shoot and it went straight to voicemail. Then about 4 hours later I texted her to see if everything was okay. She texted back with "I slept through the alarm because I was out all night, This is my first time Vegas" She wanted to reschedule and I told her I don't think I have the time.

The model for Monday's Shoot just totally forgot and got some work for her that morning. I sent her a message to remind her about the shoot the next day and she came back with "I'm sorry but I forgot that we were shooting together and I schedule another paid shoot with some else." I did want to reschedule with her but she never got back to me.

Both Models were from Arizona.

Then Super Wednesday came and I had a early morning with Miss Shelby Valine.

She new to modeling and Super fun to work with.

Then I had an earlier afternoon shoot with Miss Jaimie B.

She an Experience that's been out of the game for over 2 year. I'm the one tasked to bring her back to life in modeling industry. I don't think I did that bad.

Final my last shoot of the day was with Miss Brittany Sutton for zivity.

(Photo above)

I drained 4 sets of rechargeable batteries for my lights and one of the batteries I had from my camera. Drove almost all day while I wasn't shooting. Sweated a lot, got down on the ground and got dirty. Fucked up one of my shirts but I had a great time and got some awesome images. I really like doing this.

As for the Fashion show. I didn't make it. My foot starting giving me problems and I was trying to wait it out but it didn't get better. I didn't want to be the only one hobbling around in pain at an event so I opted to skip it. I Really wanted to go too.

Till next time, PEACE.
