Hey everyone,
First of all, I'm sorry I haven't posted an update in a few days. I've been siting around watching TV and playing Minecraft for a few days. I just haven't been feeling artistic and creative.
However, there is a birthday today and I was asked for some pictures as a gift.
Most of the following pictures are from the same day. A bunch of us met up downtown with two cameras (Dinah brought her camera as well) and I spent the day trying to manage a photoshoot with five models at the same time.
From left to right: Shelby looks concerned, Cati looks happy but like she doesn't want to smile, Faith is trying to look casual and stop laughing, Andy is clearly judging, and Jack is trying to look cool.
In case you haven't guessed from this single-person picture, it's Cati's birthday today.
As I've said before, I really need to let Faith know when she's overextending her elbows.....
Also, I will say I'm not a huge fan of this shot artistically but it's good just for fun. The picture itself isn't great, the posing isn't great, the lighting isn't great, and the editing isn't great. However, it's still a good shot of the girls having fun.
In the opposite of the previous picture, this one is fantastic. it was pure chance as Dinah was taking a picture of Cati (note Dinah's hair on the left edge) and I was just leeching off of the pose. However, it's still one of the best portraits I've ever taken.
If you're wondering why this relates to Cati, this is her dog Jack. You may recognize this picture from a previous post.
That's it for today. Sorry for the self-criticism on picture four. Like I said, these pictures are just for fun, to show how wonderful this group of friends is. I love all of these people and I am glad I've been able to know all of them.
Happy birthday, Cati.
Alec
(Also, this might become a pattern, with me posting something for every birthday. Not sure yet. We shall see.)
