you can't start a fire without a spark

so today was my third photography class and the assignment we were supposed to bring in to class was a portrait (or three) that incorporated interesting lighting. she never expounded on the interesting and so i heard it as quirky or strange. i had thought of several things i wanted to do, most of them involving galena and incredibly large shadows or the glow of a candle but come last night i had not gotten around to any of them. in fact, i had all but decided that i was going to go empty handed to class. but then as i lay in bed wrestling with sleep i had pangs of guilt and this dreaded feeling that i was just being a lazy whiney ass so i got up (well past midnight)and rallied marko into the dark bedroom to play with a flashlight. these are what i came up with and in the end i am glad i brought something.

i still think my creative lighting needs some work though. try and try again they say. we'll see.

The water glass was a great play on light.. In the second one he looks like that actor, omg I cant think of his name right now.

Ok so is Marko missing his pinky? In the water glass picture it looks like he is and the shadow of his hand holding the glass makes it look like the pinky is floating in the cup. I may be way off but this is what I am seeing..HEHE

Keep trying to play with lighting, and share more more more...

hey neat new picture! i am not sure if this is who you are thinking of but i think he looks a little like deniro in the second picture.

as for the pinky that made me laugh as i had not noticed that, but no in fact he has all of his fingers in tact and it is only the way he is holding his hand that is fooling you!

Well you see all that trick lighting stuff worked..HAHA

thanks for the picture comment, i figured it was about time to change it up... Im trying to figure out how to get the little icon to change from the drab blogger thing, to some lips or something, but have had no luck. im experimenting with html =)
