31st Annual Spring Photography Contest

I told Dave I would post about this because it is a great opportunity.  It is an annual photography contest through Photographer's Forum Magazine.  Winning photos are published in the November 2011 issue of the magazine and are exhibited at one of the Brooks Institute Galleries.  There are also cash prizes and all of the finalists are published in the hardcover book Best of Photography 2011.  It only costs around $5.00 per photo entered, which is pretty inexpensive for juried contests.  Take a look at the link below.

Creeppppyy!!!

I know that I have posted about my favorite photographers before, but I think they fit in well with the "pretty creepy" assignment that we have. Google: Robert and Shana Parkeharrison .. their work might help inspire to think of something creepy or things to keep your eyes out for while shooting for this assignment! :)

He is not a photographer but he is a really good artist. His name is Jeffrey Vallance and this is a clip of him teaching Regis to paint. He also curated an exhibition of Thomas Kinkade's paintings.

Animal Portraits With a Holga

I haven't posted in quite a while cause I'm not that great at researching before I go out shooting photographs. For this newest assignment on "Pretty Creepy" with the Holga camera, one of the topics I am interested in is animal portraits. Here are some pics I found online.
