This just in…

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

Well, I know I’m supposed to update SCG on Fridays, but I’ve been so slack about updating recently that I decided putting out an update one day early is probably a good thing, especially when it’s already about 6 or 7 weeks late…

This shoot was done in early March, with Mianna Nicole (aka Mia).  She was a lot of fun to work with, very easygoing girl.  I think it was a pretty good shoot, although I wasn’t as happy with it as with some of my others.  I think I was a bit off my feed for some reason – not enough to really notice and be able to compensate, but enough to skew the results ever so slightly.

Here’s a 3/4 shot that isn’t in this album:

Long absence

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

So it’s been almost a month since I last posted…  I’ve been rather busy in that month, and not always in a good way.  Not necessarily bad, just too much of the work-a-day world and not enough time for my personal interests.  Hopefully that will change soon and I’ll be back to a saner work/life balance.

I meant to bring the Pentax to campus today to wander around at lunch, but I was still feeling groggy when I left for the bus and forgot to take it along.  I did manage to get the film developed and scanned from the last time it came to campus, though, and some of the images look really nice.

I started my walkabout as I usually do, by coming up through the Hospitals employee parking deck and then through the med school to Columbia.  Here’s a shot of the old trailer that was torn down to make room for the new Imaging Research building that they’re getting ready to start on:

This was taken from the glass-enclosed pedestrian bridge, so you can see a bit of reflection from the glass.

This shot was taken from the corner of Columbia and South.  The sign says it’s the ROTC Armory, but the building is the Fred Brroks addition to Sitterson, the computer science building.  The armory is the building peeking out of the right edge of the image.

I’ve got more available, but I’ll post them later.  For now, I need to get back to the day job.
