CONTEST: Retro-graphy

I've been wanting to do a contest for a while now. I just didn't know what kind of contest I wanted to do. I was looking up different magazine submissions the other week, when I saw one looking for retro photos. I realized that I couldn't think of any photos that would fit the bill. That's where you guys (and girls) come in. I need inspiration. And you will be my inspiration.

The Prize:
A wonderful purple fish eye lomography camera. It's a film camera that takes fun photos. Perfect for the summer time. To learn more about Lomography go here.

The Rules:
1. To be elgible you will need to be either a follower of this here blog. That means you click the lovely follow button on the side of the page. Or you LIKE my page on facebook.

2. I will mail the prize where ever, so all is invited to participate.

3. The contest will end at 8pm pacific time on July 4, 2011.

4. Prize will be picked through random drawing.

The Challenge:
To be considered for the prize, you will have to take a photo of something or someone that screams RETRO to you. You can use your camera phone, digital camera, film, whatever. As long as it's considered photography. You will either attach the photo or send me the link to the photo. You can send the photo to my comments here on the blog or on my facebook (on the wall or through message).

Remember that you don't need to be a photographer to participate. This is just something that's supposed to be FUN. So have fun!! I'm super excited to see the photos.

Last Saturday

Things you can take photos of at an event that aren't people.

A little guy told me to take a photo of his toy, so I did.

Dance! Visceral Resolution

Amazon Hike

I got up really early this saturday morning, drove an hour to San Beradino, so that I could do an early morning shoot. The model told me that we would go on a little hike to a waterfall. The little hike turned into a hike up a hill through overgrown plants so get to the waterfall. Lesson learned: Toms are not the appropriate shoe to wear on a hike. We pretended we were in the Amazon rain forest. It was hella pretty. You would have never thought this was Socal. I just love waterfalls. The model was a brave chica also. She climbed up on a fallen over tree up over the stream for photos.

Afterwards I shoot an event.

It's been a busy weekend. But I will post photos shortly!

Tonight

My first dance performance photo session will be tonight. It's dancers in action people. I just hope I don't mess up.

Wondering

The weather today, windy, cloudy, sunny, warm, cool. It couldn't make up it's mind. It made shooting interesting. I like meeting new people. I like making new contacts. I like taking photos. I'm trying to figure out what I want out of my life. What I want out of photography. I'm going to try different avenues. Maybe try the agent route? I don't know.

Today's shoot:

Think blonde baby doll
Think girlie dresses
Think pink lipstick smiles
Think spring

Photos coming soon.

Parking Garages and alleys

Here are the photos from my shoot with Elias, Chris, and Max. I hope you find them lovely. =)
