Final Work In Progress...

Here are some on of the images I have been working on for my topic of music. I am taking different ways that you can find music around the city.
The first image is of the roadies for Mayday Parade loading up their trailer the morning after a show in the Strip. The second is the Benedum Center in the Cultural District. The third is Stephen Kellog and the members of Carbon Leaf at Bluffstock.

ReDo: Portraits

Gender Swap

This is my brother morphed with a young bride from the early 1900s.

Street Photography

These are all pictures I took downtown on Thursday during the G20. They were all centered around a protest to Free Tibet. There was so much going on at once; the cops preparing, people marching, bystanders and other protesters.

Self-Portrait

The first picture is my favorite. I was standing on the Smithfield Street Bridge and set up where I would stand and the angle and setting of the shot and had my roommate hold the camera since there was nowhere for a tripod. The expression on my face was a reaction to something she said. Since I liked it, I held the stance and had her take the picture.
The second image was taken using a tripod and the self-timer on my camera. I am sitting on the window sill in my apartment. I tried it several different days at different times until I got one that worked.

Portrait

I used my roommate as the subject in both of my portraits. The first was taken at one of the churchs downtown. I took the second in front of Steel plaza.
