Red & Yellow Harms a Fellow

Model: Jenna Williams

Make-Up/ Hair Stylist: Maria Rivaldo

Shooting with a knot in my arm and my brain. I’m fried by the quarter and the cold.

“Red and Yellow Harms a Fellow” was the inspiration. Pictures of the project soon.

Well, It's About Damn Time

Announcing the merging of all my blogs to tumblr.

Not a switch over...just doubling up. I apologize to people that follow me on this blogspot, this blogspot, and tumblr.

Jenny G's Wedding

Photos from Kristie Comins

This is what happened on Saturday, November 6, 2010. Miss Glanton is now Mrs. Jenny LaFlam (:

(and I guess I ended up with semi-decent picture with Michael)

Reporter Behind-the-Scenes: "Stress"

Gabi Ripka (model)

Joanna Eberts (collaborating Illustrator/partner in crime)

Jena Buckwell (Art Director)

 

Next week’s Reporter is called the “Stress Issue” for the most obvious reason.

Please note the awesome teamwork involved in something that may have had Campus Security and the rest of the other after-hours peeps question what exactly happened in studio 9.

Twitching

I sleep in some form of inspiration.

Oh the Damn Horror

This is an outtake for the upcoming October 29 issue for the Reporter. I rarely put outtakes of reporter shoots, but this would probably be another exception. It might end up in my portfolio depending on how the layout looks like.

Let Them Eat Carrot Cake

This wasn't our shoot, but Sarah Sugarman and I were in love with this mini cake that was visually drowning on this plate. Hooray for photo-styling team work and faking a strawberry cake from a store-bought Wegman's carrot cake.

Collaboration will be up on }this blog{ next week or so.

Jo the Doe

 This is my 2nd Roadkill trial. I might have to redo it again just because I might rent a cherry picker next spring. Yes, I know...this can only make sense in my head.

Kyle so graciously (and quite annoyingly) helped during the rainy, 7B-less shoot.

 He held a couple of flashlights and flashes that greatly aided this bizarre experiment.

 Dani helped with this one again. She did a fantastic job with the hair and making Jo have more doe-like eyes. Because my mind was clouded with what is currently known as stupidity, I didn't get a beauty shot of this. Boo to me.

Overall, it was a fun shoot. I owe these guys dinner for freezing them to death in an empty parking lot behind building 76.

Smoking Skulls

 We basically redid }this{ shot from the CGI shoot with amazing make up artist Danielle Apollonio, who I met through the super dooper talented Melissa Harrison. 

Despite the slightly brutal call time, we managed to wrap things up as rapid as the day's weather change.

Nicky walked away with Z!nk-ish make-up or what his friends later referred to as zombie make up...and possible lung doodoos.

Feels Like a New Chapter

New car.

Start of pills.

Oh and this re-shoot with Jo (:

~~~

The Brick City Feeling

...at least for me and this poor guy named David.

~~~

Wayne!

This was a shoot when I got to hang out with one of the most amazing RIT Public Safety guys I know.

...please look at this 80's star-burst picture while }Journey{ plays.

After Shooting for the CGI Kids...

We ended up being classy hooligans with nothing better to do than sit on old suitcases and drink lattes.

Another Step into Wonderland

I can never overdose.

Ever.

A shoot for Sarah Sugarman.

This is a first. 

Silence

is amazing...

...just as amazing and weird as Rochester's pink, rainy sky.

Breakables

Gray areas were the topics of the day.

Thanks Jo!

Believe it or not.

For my dear friend, Caitlin.

Sunday Morning Diners

Contemplating how many tomatoes sacrificed their lives for his appetite.

Hydration?

Hangover.

Reporter 9-17-2010, 9-10, 9-3

Office Space spoof. All thanks to Caitlin!

I don't know where to begin with this one :|

My fave because I got to work with Valval (:

Bzzzzzzz zip

Oh hi studio. So we're having this affair again.

Crashdays and Cancels

I feel the pain.

Models Bail, Friends Save

Because of my spacey-ness and lack of speed for solving troubleshoots, Kirsten and Joanna patiently waited for me to kind of get things together. Thanks sooooo much guys <3

You Gonna Be My Bug

Back to the studio.

It was that riding-a-bike-after-50-years feeling. You never really forget how to do it after you hit your first oopsie.

Guess What I Learned in Class

When using the film tripod, figure out the nobs.

Stripes & Bitter Opinions

I don't even know where to begin with this post. A number of things have been bobbing in my soupy brain, making it hard to complete one thought when another idea surfaces. I'm just going to stream my thoughts with minimum amount of censoring if that's okay?

Thirty-three more weeks until I have to say goodbye to college. Shit. Did these years really go by that quickly? Did I really change that much? If I can remember my little freshmen self correctly, cut throat and competitive wouldn't be the words to describe me. Sure, I've always had that prima-ballerina attitude tucked away under my tongue, but it wouldn't be long 'til it decided to reveal itself again with the help of ridiculous situations and appalling people. I declare war against anyone that assumes that I can't do the job when I'm pushing for it...and just about every person that thinks that they can just push me over, expecting me to just rock back and forth in fear.
I realize that part of my fear for not getting a job is because of paranoia. Female. Short. Exactly. Yes I am 5"2 (my doctor keeps telling me I'm 5"1...liar), a couple of inches above being a legal midget, but please don't be fooled. I can lift more than your errand boy/assistant can. Guaranfuckingteed. Some editors apparently just hire males with cool, exotic sounding names that are there to sexualize every walking thing with legs. I understand the obvious appeal of it and what could possibly draw the audience, but seriously? It's just about time that system was broken. I earned some of my stripes fair and square, and I would like to be given that chance to show them off.

Foreign and Blind

Why am I doing this again?

One of the Bugs at the Jar

...after Jo dropped me off.

New peeps.

Monkeys, pocket knives, books, cocktails, dancing, wet dance floor

...oh and creepy, relentless macro boy.

I Love Jenny.

Skping, Face Time, and a Bag of Lays.

I love using an overload of technology with my cousin.

Hopping and Sailing...and Brooke!

Garage sailing as Kyle called it.

Steering his ship.

I love my friends.
