hazliyaSo, I'm developing a little more interest in genuinely attempting to take pictures of people. Shots that really flow with who they are, not to mention being well-done shots in general.
I'm starting to think that I really like doing portraits.
Like this one of my good friend Sutman in his room. If you look past the clutter, you can see his awesome paintings, and I think that that's a really good representation of how I feel about him as a person. =)
Mum needed pictures of her taken for one reason or another, so I brought my camera home one day and took a bunch of shots of her in the garden. It suits her really well, and she built the entire place from scratch.
I like this one for a couple of reasons. One, because my mother's like a cat when it comes to sunbathing, and two because she's recently gotten into some of the more hoopty spiritualities that are out there. Crystals, auras, incense, you name it - mostly, I think, because she feels a need to believe in a peaceful, guiding force to counteract some of the horrific things she sees happen to people's lives every day.
So what do you guys think? I mean, I'm looking for more people to use as practice, but this seems like a fun thing to do.
And if you'd ever be interested in sitting for me, feel free to comment too. =)

And I keep hearing from people how anyone who's met my mother loves that last picture, and those who haven't don't really go for it. Definitely seems like a personality thing. =)
That shot was actually an outtake - she was shaking leaves out of her hair and I took a picture because I liked it. Almost scrapped it, but decided to work it instead.
