Zombie Girl Attacks

This is my friend Lea. Every once in awhile, she dresses up like a zombie. This time i convinced her to let me photograph her in her art studio for 5 minutes.

I really liked the way this turned out. It creeps me out, which was the desired effect.

My d300s Review

Earlier this month, i borrowed a Nikon d300s with the intention of playing with it and then eventually buying one.

Full review and thoughts below.

Two given solutions to the challenge, with the explanations of each below.

Sad Recognition

So last week i get a call while I'm walking to another assignment about a possible triple shooting. This means i drop everything and head in the general direction until i get a specific location. All i knew was 3 people shot and it was a domestic shooting.

If you are a fan of sarcasm, women and baseball, go check my Philly-fan-friend Michelle O'Malley and her crew over at Chicks Dig the Long Ball. They can-and-will out stat you and out drink you.

Skate Park Anniversary

Eleven-year-old Kaden Campbell is silhouetted against the sun at the skate park in Southeast Clarke Park on Wednesday, March 31, 2010 in Athens, Ga.

(Thats what ran in the paper as opposed to my artistic rendition. Yes shooting into the sun gives me a migrane.)

So they forced me to photograph at the skatepark as it just had it's 5th anniversary. (Next thing you know, they'll be forcing me to take a raise.) Thanks to 11-year-old Kaden Campbell, I've got a portfolio of skate photos.

Lots more after the jump.

The Burning Angels & Lionz at Caledonia Lounge
