It's been a while huh? Like a month. Whoops. I'm sorry, I got a little busy, but in positive ways, except for that whole school thing. I'm pretty convinced that I won't be sad in December when I graduate. I'm ready to make stuff happen. And get paid money.
I've also been very busy thinking about photography. I realize that's a very vague statement, but I seriously can go on the internet or sit in a coffee shop (holding a book so I don't look lonely), brainstorming for hours for conceptual shoots I want to do. Last semester I bought a friggin cute notebook for myself and dubbed it "Amy's Epic Idea Book". Within the past 2 months, I have written down details or sketched out around 40 or 50 completely different shots that I am dying to do. But I should probably do something about that. My drawings aren't that impressive so I'm really wanting to bring a few to life in the next few weeks. I've gotten some extra equipment with my summer moola including my new favorite toy, a wireless camera remote. Now all I need are a few trips to a thrift store, and more importantly, models. I don't like being a model, hence me being behind a camera, but I have no money to hire anyone! So, if anyone reading this has any desire to be a model please feel free to message me on facebook, comment here, or email me at amyellisphoto@gmail.com. Some concepts I'm planning on doing soon are pretty particular about what the models look like, but I would be eternally grateful to whoever is willing to step in front of the camera, especially for weird stuff. I'm an art kid, after all. It may or may not be the sexiest photo of you. Unless you define sexy as epic. I'm pretty sure I can make you look awesome. Maybe I'll get you something cool from Value Village?
So here has been my life lately in pictures. I played with my wireless remote, captured some musical moments in Davidson, took photos at my previous workplace; Gilcrest Natural Farm (you should look for them at the Charlotte and Davidson Farmers' Markets, and get their seriously delicious hotdogs), was visited by my nephews (who are dogs fyi), and finally, I had a cupcake at some point with my best friend. It was delicious, and definitely picture worthy.
Reading back, this post it totally scattered with 5 thoughts going on at once and I apologize. This is why I'm a photographer and not a writer.
