The Daily Beacon

Earlier this week I had the great opportunity to have a a full front page photo for  The Daily Beacon!

September 4, 2012

We went through all the images between myself and the other photographer, Matthew DeMaria, after the season opener against NC State for the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game in Atlanta, GA, and between designers and our sports editor, this was the final image we chose, and it happened to be mine!

It seemed like everyone loved this page, even had some Twitter love 

Photographers from today's lecture

We learned about a few photographers today in my photo 3 class. Diane Arbus, Loretta Lux and Micheal Disfarmer.

Diane Arbus

Loretta Lux

Micheal Disfarmer

First, Diane Arbus. She is one of the most famous photographers, in the style that she would seek out things that "weren't normal" and photograph it. In the way of this we, as a viewer, are able to stare as long as we want without feeling awkward.

One of the most famous images of her is of the twins. This set of twins was also what gave the director of The Shining the idea of the repeated twins because they were not in the original book, but added to add to the "creep" factor. 

You've seen this, I know it..

35mm film

One thing I wish would stay around (or maybe not so I can be one who excels in it...) Either way it is something you do not see often. Usually it's "Oh nice camera, can I see the picture?" Umm.. no.. once I get it developed you can totally see it but not till then.

So last night I took the time to go to the photo lab and finally develop all the rolls I needed to develop, including two for my current photo project "Permissions".

7 rolls of film in those canisters. Only took an hour...

But I had 2 rolls of film for the current project then some random rolls that I had taken since last semester. But of the rolls, these were my favorite. 

Brassaï

Today in Photo 3 we focused on one photographer, Brassaï.

He was a Hungarian photographer who started out as a reporter/writer, then started dabbling in photography, then became one of the first night photographers.

He loved his night photography. And he loved showing the relationship between a couple.
