I fell in love with these shutters in the California hotel room I shared with my mom and aunt in March 2009.
I've been wanting to go back out to that hotel room and use those shutters for a model shoot.
...but you can see how far that's gotten!
.....besides, it's something easily duplicate-able in a studio.
Need a black back drop, a faux-wall with shutters, and a light source.
And yes, this desirous photo does have a song inspiration. (Snow Patrol fans, I'm sure, know what I'm talking about!)
Anyway, I also decided posting something from the last vacation I went on was appropriate because I am going on another trip soon.
This time, it's my grandma, my aunt, my mom and I going for a week to the other coast. Two days in Ft Lauderdale, one day on a cruise ship, a day in the Bahamas, one day back on the ship, and two days in Orlando.
I'm pretty stoked, needless to say.
We aren't going until April, but what a great time it will be.
And it will be interesting to see what things I can photograph in this new place.
(Which reminds me, I need to either buy new memory cards or clean out the ones I have...hmm...decisions, decisions...)
===============================================
Unrelated notes:
School has started up again for this semester; already three weeks in. (Holy crap!)
I'm looking forward to the challenges presented to me.
I'm taking one required class just to avoid a speech class; it's a class that teaches all about Microsoft Office Applications.
I'm also taking the second semester of ceramics, German 3, and creative writing.
If all goes according to plan, I should be eligible for graduation in December, but I'm thinking I may postpone until May just to make sure I can use all the financial aid granted to me and take all the fun classes I want, like Studio Photography. It's only offered in the spring and would have taken it this semester, but my load was already full.
...anyway, if I'm MIA, it's because I'm still in school.
Gonna try to get straight A's again.
