photo to painting

My ex-girlfriend asked me a while ago if she could paint some of the photos I took. I recenty foudn this on facebook. Top is the photo I took and below is the painting of it (which sold for a grand by the way).

Old and New

I found a photographer that finds people with old photos and takes new photos that look the same except for the fact that time has passed and the people look older.

Photos That Tell Stories

I was looking through the old photos I took from a debate related trip to Harvard University a few months ago. Going with my debate team, we ate as a group and has a challenging time with the bill. I think this photo tells the story quite well.

Self Portrait

A few days ago someone mentioned to me that I take tons of photos, but seldom of myself. I took the liberty to finally do a self portrait. Unlike most of the photos I take where I make poeple look better, I think I did a good job of making myself look worse. One person on facebook commented this...

facebook aside, I shot the photo on my plain 50mm lens and this was shot at f/1.4. I cranked up the clarity giving the effect that my face is really bumpy or something. This is just extra added detail in the photo. I also added grain. Opposites of what I usually do, again. I always turn down the clarity as you can see in the 2nd photo of my good friend, Rhonda. The colors and hues in the two photos are similar, however, sharpness reveals a sharp difference between the two.

Interesting Folks

The city I currently live in, Asheville, North Carolina, has remarkably interesting people. I've decided to capture them with my 50mm lens. I'll walk up and down the streets of downtown literally just looking for interesting people. I got about three of four really great shots out of about fifty or so. Here is one of my personal favorites.
