so, here it finally is, the last day of the 365..... it's been a good run. i've learned a lot, made a lot of mistakes, figured a lot of things out. it was a great learning experience, that's for sure. one of my rules for this was that i was going to keep things limited to lighting..... no crazy photoshoppin, no texturing or even dodging and burning of the images..... i wanted to get really great at lighting. and i think i have. i feel like i've really mastered my equipment at this point, i know what's going to happen if i put this umbrella here, and that reflector there. there's a predictability now that i never had before.
so what's next? well, since i've barely touched photoshop in so long, i probably need to re-up my game there. i'd like to start doing more composited type pieces, maybe start to work in some graphic design stuff on top of or behind my photography. and really start thinking in terms of concept more, and execution less. get back to my art school days, to try and make things that are solid conceptually, from beginning to end.
there are so many different types of things you can do in photography, and i want to get into all of them, really.
i'm really looking forward to shooting other people again. that'll be nice. not spending hour after hour staring at myself will be a welcome change.
i'll probably continue to put things here on this blog, but probably not as regularly as i have been. so that's it. see you people around.
