im sure we all have heard about usair flight 1549 that landed in the hudson and how heroic the captain was and blah blah blah. so i decided that i would do a tribute to that plane with my model and my function and form sexiness series. my model serves no function but i think its sexy. im not done with the series yet but i just wanted to show everyone something.

i got this shot below. pretty cool huh? we all know jerry ghionis’s famous saxophone player shot. and now that i know how to do this through this airplane model experiment, i can add it to my vocabulary of photographs (shot was done with one flash partially hidden behind the plane, plane was set on a black foam core board to reflect some but not all the light to the underside of wings, i dusted the plane off, set it on its stand, gave the dust a slight blow and fired). probably not as graceful as jerry’s shot but i think it works.

i guess the point of this post is to say to any new person to photography that may be lurking here on my blog, is that i want to encourage you guys n gals to keep experimenting and taking pics of anything and everything in any situation. photography is one of those worlds where you can never learn everything and thats so wonderful! airplanes have nothing to do with people/wedding photography but something like this shot can be applied in an artful way during a wedding perhaps! so go take pics of your orange, your pencil, your stuffed animals in all different situations! that was one shot out of the many, take advantage of digital, keep snapping away! now dont go thinking that i know everything about photography for truly what i know is just like a 1/8 of one grain of sand on the beach. im just saying to keep taking pics and keep experimenting!

(i know my watermarking of images hasn’t been consistent lately…im still trying to figure out the best way to do it, bare with me…seeeee even i am experimenting in different ways)

ok i must get back to editing wedding pics. i was so excited going through the shots yesternite that i went to sleep 2 hours late!! im pretty tired right now!!!
