New Enlargers!

So today during my Photo II class we had lab orientation once again. They've changed a lot of it! It was very exciting to see how much they actually moved things around. We also have some new enlargers which is completely awesome. I just have to relearn how to use them. I think one of the things I definitely am looking forward to using is fiber paper. It will definitely change the quality of the print and stuff so I am way way excited for it. I still need to edit some pictures that I have left over from El Paso and I also need to start shooting asap for class. I am quite excited :D
So more pictures will be posted up soon, for now I am just getting through with the first week :D Yay!

As I went through one of my favorite blogs, Homotography, I found this picture of Ash Stymest & Sasha Pivovarova by Steven Meisel. I am not a big fan of Ash (sorry Nacho!!) but I thought this cover of Vogue Italia was awesome. The colors are eye-catching and the expressions are awesome.

Music Motivates

One shoot down and two more to go! I really enjoyed editing Jesus' photo shoot because there was some variety in the pictures. It was quite funny remembering what he would say about the pictures. He is very shy and was always embarrassed about people seeing him. Of course, I didn't get tired of seeing his pictures because of the different outfits he had and the different positions he would try. In general, I really enjoyed working with Jesus and I hope he enjoyed working with me.

Lessons Learned: Even the shyest of people can take good pictures. A good iTunes playlist always helps speed editing up.

Edit: I don't like how Blogger destroys the quality of my pictures. So I might end up changing it up.

Packing, Editing, & Photoshoots

In the midst of all three, I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with everything I need to do. EEK!
I leave for Austin this Saturday, which isn't that bad but I have TONS of editing to do. I finally finished editing Jazmine's photos, but I had three other shoots that I did that I must edit!
So I'm sorry I'm lacking posts, but I hope you all forgive me haha.
Anyway, here are some images of Jazmine that I really liked.

A Small Break From Editing

Today I took a small break from editing Jazmine's photos in order to have a half El Paso day with Gina and Gracie. It was a lot of fun. Here are some photos from today. (You can click them to see them larger)

Oh, and I am almost done with Jazmine's photos so I'll post those up soon :D

Photo shoot in the heat.

Today I had a photo shoot with a high school friend, Jazmine. She is currently shooting with different photographers around the city collecting photos for her modeling portfolio. I wish her the best of luck and I will slowly but surely be posting the pictures on my Flickr. So keep an eye out! :D

Welcome/ Bienvenidos

Hello readers!(All 2 of them)

This blog had previously began as a music blog in which I wrote about any live performances that I had attended. Unfortunately, I didn't go far with it. Being that I had tried out various ways of blogging (Wordpress & Tumblr being only few), I believe that this page will only be my "work, thoughts, and inspirations" rather than just a collection of pictures being posted without explanation.

My Tumblr is still active and will be a collection of photographs and music found around the web. My Wordpress, unfortunately, does not exist anymore. If you are happening to read this through Facebook (as RSS feed), you can come and look at this blog at www.standtallandgrow.blogspot.com

So I hope that I can keep up with this baby for a while. Good luck to me! & thanks for reading this.
