I finally got some slides processed from over spring break in Idaho, here's the two I like the most. I think I might continue shooting up there this summer while I'm living there and see what I get, I think there's a lot of potential. That, and getting asked if my view camera is digital by nearly everyone is pretty sweet.
Here's a sample of some of the images that made the cut for the final edit for my LAST senior project! If you want to see all 14 images, you can check them out on my website: www.lesliemcdaniel.com. Let me know what you think. Thanks!
These are the first images I've developed for my 264 Final. I'm attempting to explore the idea of what sexy can be by posing my models in suggestive and provocative ways but in oversized, "comfortable" attire instead of skin tight tank tops or their underwear. Please let my know what you think.
I remember I was falling down backwards. I’m looking at the sky and it felt like a daydream. I was thinking this is what it would feel like if you got blown up. I looked over at the wall that was just next to me, and that thing was blown out. I was on the ground and we started taking small arms fire from the triggermen. I couldn’t see anything out my left eye and I could barely see out my right one, but I returned fire as best as I could. After I was done shooting, I was looking down at my rifle and remember blood pouring out all over it. The leader of the patrol got both his legs blown off and was blown into a ditch. The medic pulls him out and starts working on him, but he was really, really, bad. He looked at the medic and said, “Tell my wife I love her,” and just faded off. I didn’t have a lot of thoughts really. So I just lay back down. All I remember is the blue sky and just saying “To hell with it."
This Guy was fantastic! I photographed the setup for Kalispell Regional Medical Center's annual Alert Benefit last night and this guy was part of the Band. He was walking around and ended up standing in front of the flag. I made him put his hands in his pocket and told him to just relax. He was great!
just a few practice shots for the final. im having some trouble keeping them from getting blurry b/c i have to shoot my flash off twice though..
Hey yall, i am in Miami for the Clinton Global Initiative Conference. I had several photo shoots today and shot 900 images. I managed to completely bullshit a press pass by claiming i was representing the Montana Environmental Alliance. I was horded into a roped off press area with CNN, Fox, and NBC, amongst others. About halfway through the inaugural panel i decided to duck the rope and crawl up the aisle to get a closer look. This image is at 1600ISO @ F4 and 160th a sec. I had to shoot at too slow of a shutter speed considering my lens, especially after 900 images and I had to stop using my flash because i crawled right next to the official CGIU TV camera. hence the shitty quality, but cool regardless.
What's your system to always have enough free hard drive space?
Tomorrow afternoon I will be presenting my Butte work at an SFP colloquium. This will be a progress so far, show and tell. I am really looking for feedback as to the direction this project might take, so if anyone come and tell me what you think, that would be great. Your chance to critique the professor. The presentation has 96 images and I will have my artist book too. There will also be wine and cheese. 3-5pm in VCB 182.
This is from a lighting demo in Portraiture on Monday. We were attempting to get a Rineke Dijkstra awkward pose. Good job Emily.
I am planning on redoing it for the sake of fixing the brush strokes etc. but thought I would share.
Argyrotype over Cyanotype.....mix in a little creative coating, and I think its nothing shy of a masterpiece.....maybe.
