99¢ Photoshoot! **SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT**

Hey everyone,
Today’s blog is mainly going to consist of a video that I wanted to share with you for two reasons:
  1. People normally think that you have to spend a significant amount of money on a photoshoot. (This is completely false, I mean you can but you don’t have too.) 
  2. You can use found objects, go to the dollar store or even thrift store.
In this video, Lucas Blalock, a New York based photographer, uses dollar store items to create unique compositions & some great photography.

Strong Women & Expressionism.

Hey everyone, Sorry, I’ve been gone for a week. How have you guys been? Hopefully you all have been well & have had a great week.

Deep Meanings, Butterflies & Dark Humor

I think about thinking, 2000 Today, I’m going to be sharing a couple of my favorite photos from a photographer, Duane Michals . Duane is known for writing notes (annotating) on his photography & having a dark sense of humor. I will be briefly touching on each photo to keep the descriptions short and sweet.

He wants people to see what he is about & not judge him on how he looks.   Dr. Heisenberg's Magic Mirror of Uncertainty, 1998, (6) 5x7in. "Dr. Heisenberg's Magic Mirror of Uncertainty"  suggests that u ncertainty allows the c...
