It's A Wrap

I just arrived back into town after spending two full days shooting up in Seattle with James Harrison. I narrowed my best shots down and made a Web Gallery for you to view. Right now I'm in the process of talking with his P.R. manager and hopefully will be getting a few of my images published in some trade magazines. For now have a look at my results.

'A Hammock of pictures'

Here is a ton more pictures, mainly portraits to go with memories. Gallery

Strippin'....

forms that is. I followed my dad while he was finishing up a job. I want to get more of when he's actually pouring concrete, which should be sometime next week. I hope. I think it went well, got some in the house but I tried to not focus too much on the details of things and try to get more of my dad interacting with those around. There's still some of those shots in there. I could not help myself.
Here's a link.

I tried getting a few good environmental shots while I was there. They ended up going grocery shopping.

I had some blur problems. *cough cough*

Memory

Well I figured that I should post these before I go shooting today. It starts with Jen's memory of running away, then goes into a memory about green eggs and ham. Gallery

Anyone wanna buy me a new camera?

ha...ha...

Okay, so my OLD Rebel finally kicked the bucket. Not bad considering it's about 10 years old. :)
Anyway, I got these with the boyfriends camera. I mostly got us just hanging out outside after having ate dinner.
Some okay ones.

Oh so exciting when I figure it out

I shot this weekend at ditlers beach. It wasn't as much shooting as I wanted to get done since last class but with everything going on I was happy to get what I did. I think there are some good ones in the gallery for it. What's more exciting though is that my website is up and not only that but I figured out how to get galleries that aren't linked to the site on it also. This is how I can use the same site and customers will have to be given the link in order to see their stuff. So exciting.

Anyway my website is www.sbyrnephoto.com and the gallery for this weeks shoot is www.sbyrnephoto.com/galleries/Americana_beach

Even more drag

You can see the gallery here:

Jerick, their "drag mama" was there for the day. Kale assured me there was usually more energy when he's around, but unfortunately they had all been out until four in the morning the night before and were pretty worn out.

I spent an hour or two shooting them lounging around, watching tv and talking before they started their drag routine. Quite a few people came over, but I wasn't sure whether to shoot them all or not, since the project so far has been focused only on Kenny and Kale.

Hope to hear from you guys in class.

Around The House

It was interesting doing another location shoot with James Harrison. This time I captured him inside his home in NE Portland. He was hard at work with some new concepts that he has thought up.

Ira Glass on Storytelling

Here's that great piece on storytelling by Ira Glass. I'd encourage you to watch it all the way through again....

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4

Also, if you're a fan of Ira Glass (or not), check out the archives of This American Life.  I've been listening to them recently while working images, and they're the perfect photography work companion.
