So, 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. =)

I love the one of Sutman. It took so much work! You know him; you can imagine what the outtakes were like (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b108/hazliya/sm1.jpg). Considering how many frames I ended up taking, you can imagine how fast I had to be (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b108/hazliya/sm3.jpg) before he resorted to just being Sutman (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b108/hazliya/sm2.jpg). I think it's because he was nervous about pictures. =) [Easter eggs, what?]

If we go visit our friend in Wisconsin, he and I are totally stopping over in Chicago to bother you. And I will take pictures. Of him bothering you.
