Post #50 Constructs

I finally finished editing images for my final. Here are 3 more images for my Construct series

Readymades

A series based off of the Dadaist movement involving readymades and simple constructs. I build a simple monument, document it, then break it apart. While taking the image, I make sure to include the physical space the construct is in. By doing this, I not only document the construct I've made, but also give the images a sense of time and place. Shot with a Pentax Asahi 6x7 Fuji 160c

The Glamorous life of a photo major

A before and after of dusting images shot on Fuji 160c 120 color neg film. No edit on the image, just lots and lots of dusting. (Click for full dust effect) This image is one of 12 needed for my final project. I still have 10 more to shoot, scan, dust, edit, print, mount, and mat for critique which is 2 weeks from today. CRUNCH TIME!!!

Collin Avery

This book is proving to be a pain. This is one of my many very simple portraits I have been taking for this project. I still need models, let me know if you're interested.

Final Images

Two more images fighting for a highly coveted spot in my final project.

Blue Tire

Well, this is a blue tire. I'm not going to use it for anything, but i had to edit something before i exploded. Here it is, the Blue Tire!!!

Final Idea

Photo Montage

I finally finished this bad boy today. A photo montage made for my 260 assignment.

Photo montage Preview

A screenshot of image 3 of my 3 part photo montage project. I think you can tell that i have spent way to much time in front of this computer screen.

H Gizzo, the pink rocket

Shot for my book assignment

Fire Extinguisher

Montage practice, made with 2 images.

Corner

An interior space i was thinking of using for an up coming montage assignment. Once again i changed my mind on the assignment, leaving me with a couple images of corners.

The Privy

Free Toilet. Reminds me of Duchamp's image "The Fountain." Now all i need is to get a sharpie and sign the toilet "R. Mutt 1917."

Kurt in the kitchen, Collin watches

Kurt's posing, collin's eating pesto noodles. Both very common activities in our house.

Chest Triptych

Chest triptych for my 260 assignment

Failed Triptych, Cool images

These were shot for our triptych assignment that is due 6 days from now. I think i will shoot something else for the assignment, but I really enjoy these images.

2 Doors

We learned how to print today in the digital lab. Stoked! This is just a Digi Shot from behind Target I took between assignments

Blue Trash Can

Shot between images for an assignment

My name is C Avery

Mr. Avery shot in the home studio.

Scarf+Flashes

It turns out i can't go to bed on a half done image. Shot at about 11:30pm after work, now it's 2:11 am. Just a simple portrait of some handsome devil with a scarf on is face.

Fuji 160c shot with a Pentax Ashahi 6x7

Halli B? More like Halli G!!

Wha wha WHAT!! H Gizzo in da house!! Actually it's Halli B, and the house she's in is Yellowstone National Park. 5d Mark II 15mm fisheye

Old Faithful

Went to Yellowstone National Park to meet up with Jon Long and shoot some of the expensive cameras he had been traveling with all summer. He worked for Canon for their Canon in the Parks program and was able to shoot all over the place. This was a 5d Mark II with a 15mm fisheye. Fun day of shooting, then the Canon rep bought us beers. All in all it was worth the drive, even if it was just to go shoot Canons.

My aunt just gave me these flash units and stands and all sorts of other photo gear! This is the first time these have been out of their box in a couple years but they still work great! Stoked to try these puppies out! Thanks Jamie!

SFP high noon shoot

Today in class we took a photo walk to make sure we knew how to fiddle with our cameras. We walked around the VCB taking pictures for about 30 min, It was just about noon so the sun was very bright and it was hard to manage shadows and such. But all in all it was a good day of class.

Sphinx Mountain

A great hike with great people. Sphinx Mountain at Sunrise

Celery. Taken right after our sphinx mountain hike

Simplicity is the key to happiness

Alright, so this is a shot i've come to like even though i doubt anyone else in the world will.

Another JPEG from our lava lake hike. I've been trying to edit this image for 2 weeks now. Just want to see how it looks up on my page. Never going to shoot in JPEG again -JS

Grass

I hate shooting JPEG. Just by trying to edit this image in PS I have decided to shoot everything in Raw, like your supposed to. I should start listening to people more. -JS

London (harder, better, faster, stronger) from David Hubert on Vimeo.

Alright, so I've been working a lot at the hotel so i haven't been shooting all that much. But it gives me plenty of time to find sweet videos on the internet. Hopefully i'll put some of my work on here soon, but till then here's another sick flick made with still images.

Saw this on the MSU blog page thanks to Cam. Sick vid

Sac Peak X process

Just figured out the cross process curves in photoshop. The first and last image is Sacagawea Peak outside of Bozeman MT. The middle is an image of a field of flowers above Fraser lake in the bridgers. All were shot at an ISO of 2500 (accident) but i think the grain helped these 3 images to get that film feel. JS

Skiing in July

My friend Joel Switzer throwin down on the Wyoming side of the Beartooths. We recently had a day skiing in the Beartooths outside of Red Lodge, MT.

Holy Cow

I am a proud owner of a new 18-200 Nikkor lens. Took it for a test drive and found some cows. I was very pleased with how it handled! It is very versatile and it focuses about twice as fast as my other lenses did. Anywho, this is one of my better images from the set. JS

Sypes to the M trail looking over Bozeman MT.  I have done nothing to this shot because i don't know how to use photoshop at all, also I just got a new computer and i have no idea what i'm doing on it's little photo editor thing.  Just one of those images that as i look at it i see little things i could have done differently but overall i think it's a dynamic and interesting shot.  I most likely will go back in with photoshop when i learn what i can do with the image. Any tips or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!     JS
