Tiffany’s a friend of a friend (and a “neighbor” – she’s Malaysian..) i was kind of a VAL (Voice Activated Lightstand) and an Asian Super Boom for Tim during the shoot when she came by to have her headshots and some dancey shots taken for her resume. Managed to shoot some that day and had some keepers through the session.
(more images and strobist info after the jump..)

heh. she wanted to go out for a walk, i wanted to shoot the sunset (well, sort of) so off to hadley field we went..
no dramatic clouds like yesterday, would have been nicer but love the warm colors all the same. have been missing seeing that for sometime with the rain/wind/cold driving me to stay indoors, where it is nice and warm.

Well, not exactly a journey, more as a place explored. Been spending my free hours here in the Center for the Arts up in the photo lab doing prints or editing (which is much better on the larger iMac screens) and i’ve come to love the long corridors that line the place. In some way it looks ominous yet arouses the curiousity within you. Finally used this particular corridor in a series of shots for one of my photo assignments.

Helping a friend with her project and shot some food a while back, kinda noticed it again going through my own files and redid my own processing. This is what i ended up with!

Will post up the rest of the abandoned lumber mill when i’m done with the edits. Still trying to make those fisheye shots work heh.

Went on a lil trip down to Lockport (lots of places to shoot at) with Tim, Jeff, Norbet and Tom. And we went to this abandoned lumber mill around Lockport. Fascinating place!
Pity we were losing light quite a bit quicker than expected. Did manage to get a couple of frames out, still working on a fisheye shot which i planned for HDR but we’ll see what my mac can churn out.

Tried to do a low-key strobist portrait with Smiley for my assignment for one of my photography classes. managed to salvage it after all! thanks to a really cool technique Tim taught heh! (thanks Tim!)
Smiley was great to work with and is quite the joker heh! Might think up more ideas to work with him. He has a face that’s great for the camera.

Guys, this is Tim! I’ve been strobing with him and he has been nice to bring me around Buffalo to shoot and stuff. He’s a great photographer and he has a great eye as well as good judgement of depth and light. He’s one of the photo editors at the Spectrum (UB school paper). So check out his photos on his flickrstream here!

Sad that fall comes just once a year! ):
its like it was summer when i got here and everything’s pretty and nice but somewhat similar to what i see back home. and suddenly the leaves are changing colors and i’m surrounded by a kaleidoscope. Its a pity its almost at the end of fall up here in Buffalo and all trees have more or less ’shed’ their summer dresses.
And now back to my homework!

Went on a little exploration yesterday with Tim and he brought me to this abandoned house down by Williamsville. And i am so excited with what I am seeing around me.
Fall is fading fast though so losing light quickly through the day. Otherwise, been strobing quite a bit with Tim. so more photos to touch up!
Amazed at the sights i’m seeing just around the areas. Williamsville is like this quaint bit of town that’s nice, clean, kinda rustic. i guess i’ll also be posting more from the stuff on my flickr stream in some time to come, especially on a slower ‘news’ day.
Oh! and Happy Halloween!

Haven’t really found another theme i could use (nor could i write the CSS for this) so this will have to do for now i guess! It was a fun process to sort of settle down (no apartment hunting however – thank goodness) and then a short trip to Niagara Falls over the last weekend before school started.
i do apologize if you see the dust spots in the picture, i don’t see them well enough with my itsy bitsy macbook screen (especially after i’ve gotten used to having that 22″ monster of a monitor from dell back home)
