I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas! Here is one image from the senior show, probably my favorite. I have a bunch more I have to size that I will add in the next several days. I got lots of positive comments about the show, you all. You rock. I can't believe it was so well attended in the extreme cold and Christmas busy season!

This is some of my latest imagery involving virtual worlds. This was some shooting I did with a Second Life fashion designer and virtual celebrity Callie Cline. Some of the shoots I've done with her have appeared in virtual publications and may end up in Marie Claire in the Turkish market (she's huge over there). But more so I want to know what people think of this work as photographers. It is capturing a moment in space and time but no light (only light related physics) are involved. So tell me what you think.

This is all I got from the senior show because I had a full CF card, apologies to those I missed.

Robots

Here are a couple finished images from the shoot I did with Vogue in the Movement from Bakersfield, CA. Today I also got the new 5D and I don't think that anyone in the world is as happy as I am right now!

Some of my Lighting Final

So I was going to a low light and contrasty look.

Art Show

Lighting Final

To sum up this project, we are seen as a team, what one does affects us all. But the team is made up of individuals with their own personalities. Each images set represents this relationship. The first one is how they represent the team, the second, their own uniqueness. I let them choose the setting and clothes for the second image of the sets, so it is how they see themselves.

Senior Show on Facebook

I know that you all are attending, but to help let your friends know and get the word out there I created a facebook event. Please help out our seniors by getting the word out. See you there!

Iron Curtain

Here are a few images from a project I've spent the last couple years working on about the Iron Curtain in Berlin. I'm glad to finally be at a point to show images but there is still a lot of historical research I'm pouring through before I can proceed further.

Camera For Sale

Hello everyone. I have a Canon 40D (body only) for sale if anyone is interested. You can email me at lesliemcdaniel10@gmail.com. Thanks!

Help guys! Do any of you know a tutorial or technique for making a realistic "skin edge" along the lines of Aaron Nace's work. I just can't figure it out. I'm trying to turn this band into robots... thoughts and critique would be really helpful!
