two weeks left :D

Tamara Dean








I believe my attraction to the first and last picture might have to do with some personal feelings, but don't believe that it makes them any less appealing. The first image feels like it could be me and like I could have been there (NOT JUST CAUSE MY HAIR IS GONE LUL) but really this picture just puts me in the room and I enjoy when photographs have that ability. The second image stopped me instantly. This is a feeling I tried very hard to capture in my shooting this past weekend and reminds me so much of being at the show.
At the show, the guitar player for the Chariot was so completely into playing. The majority of the show consisted of throwing guitars and mic stands and kicking around and diving into people, which is all something. But there were these moments of peace where I felt like he was going somewhere else. Maybe I'm just creepy for noticing haha. But to me THAT was the moment I didn't want to forget. That was the moment I wanted to capture that night and keep with me. Just a little side note from my own shooting.
ANYWAY, the third image here I do believe is a self-portrait. Anddd I love it. I like the color and the wind and the fact that she's topless with a bride's veil on. This image is called Tamara-Dean-the-Bride. God, I hope I never get married.
Last but not least, "The Baptism." The last image hits a nerve for me a little bit and it isn't necessarily a bad thing. My family was one to always do things exactly how they were supposed to be done. Any going outside of tradition was wrong. To see this image of what seems to be a family doing their own baptism in the middle of nowhere seems lovely to me. I love the setting and for whatever reason, this image just stuck me.


I'm way too excited for color class.

JORDAN VOTH
and a friend of his named Noah are two photographers who are doing a US tour of photography.
FROM THEIR DESCRIPTION:
Come July 6th 2011, we will be venturing across all of the beautiful states that make up the U.S.


I (Jordan) be driving straight from WA to Noah's house in Pittsburgh, PA. After a few shoots there, we’ll travel to a few surrounding states (OH, Eastern PA, VA, MD, NY, etc) then make our way toward South FL, stopping in NC, SC, and GA along the way. Once we feel that we have taken FL by storm, we’ll head west bound, hitting up TN, TX, OK, NE, CO, UT, AZ, CA, and OR to reach our final destination of WA. Again, this is a very loose outline of our whole journey and would love to incorporate other cities/states into it!


If any of you beautiful people would like to let us hang ten on your couches or floors we’d be forever grateful, so please let us know if we have a spot to rest our sleepy heads at night ♥


If you would like to just hang out or even grab a bite to eat, also let us know! We’ll do our best to stop out to as many cities as possible…We love meeting people!


OH!!! We’ll also be scheduling shoots along the way, so if you’d like to get on the list, the sooner the better! You’ll get both of us for the price of one =p


I hope to hear from many of you inquiring about a hang out sesh/shoot/party/amazing time. Let’s make the summer of 2011 unforgettable!

Here's some work :)
