{Mental}

Hey there!
For my last Photography II assignment I had to pick a theme to make conceptual photos. Me being me, I went with mental disorders. I had to take 5 photos representing mental disorders, which I love. As usual I went to one of my two forever-using-for-all-my-photography-assignments models, Leslie {Katherine, you'll be coming back, like always}. I had other things in mind but I guess I'm pretty satisfied with the result.

Bipolar disorder: condition in which people go back and forth between periods of a very goo or irritable mood and depression.

Schizophrenia: mental disorder that makes it hard to: tell the difference between what is real and not real; think clearly; have normal emotional responses; act normally in social situations.

Multiple personality disorder: mental disorder characterized by at least two distinct and relatively enduring identities or dissociated personality states that alternately control a person's behavior, and is accompanied by memory impairment for important information not explained by ordinary forgetfulness.

Insomnia: inability to fall sleep or to stay asleep as long as desired.

Paranoia: mental condition characterized by delusions of persecution, unwarranted jealousy, or exaggerated self-importance, typically elaborated into an organized system. 

For the multiple personality disorder, I had to take different photos of Leslie with different outfits and such... It was pretty interesting.

That's a pair of big brown eyes. That is all folks.

I don't think I have any more brain cells left to write down something coherent in here so let's get to the point:
I was doing my packaging assignment for tomorrow {hate how it turned out} Got bored after I finished it. Ended up doing this.

My head is throbbing.

Photography II will be the dead of me.
Another assignment for my photography class. "5 photos inspired my Julia Margaret Cameron". I guess I'll just post the most decent ones cause... well, yeah.
Models for the assignment where Leslie, Katherine {Told you! You were coming back}, Gabriela and Cristina.

As usual one thing led to the other and we end up with "CANDIDS!"

{Pattern Shorts}

Back in NJ while I was working for the summer I had to wear khaki pants as part of my uniform.
I got this really cheap long ones while I was there in our {me and my dearest} no. 1 option when it came to shopping cheap/ actually good clothes.
One day while I was working I felt pretty badly to the ground {that was kind of embarrassing...} and they got this weird spot on my upper tights. No good. So after thinking what to do with it I decided I was going to paint them.
Got some scissors, made the pants shorts and started painting my pattern. Good thing: Pretty damn proud of how they turned out. Bad thing: I have no more red paint *sad life*

Another thing that I got but haven't had the chance to tell you all about was a bunch of old analog cameras. I got them from the same store I got the pants. I know the Olympus one is working, not sure about the other two. If they don't, well they make pretty decoration/ photo props.

Materials {Shorts}:

• Long khaki pants.
• White, red and black fabric paint.
• Black Sharpie®
• Scissors.

{A present for Geo}

Hello there!
Going back to what has become the best summer of my life, Natali, Patricia and I wanted to give George, our department supervisor, a little something. As many of you might know, I prefer handmade gifts over generic buy-from-a-store ones. The original plan was to make a portrait of Britney Spears out of bottle caps {people who worked at the bar always save the beer caps for us}. I didn't worked out. In the end I draw a black and white portrait of Britney Spears.

Me and the girls went to Goodwill to find a decent frame to put the drawing when all of the sudden, we found a badass frame: It had a big cork board and three photo frames. What we decided was that we were going to take photos of ourselves holding George's name. Me being me, I painted my face and the girls' faces.

He loved it! Success. The day of the last employees party the park throw, he put it outside for everyone to see. I felt ~special~ {not really but you get the idea.

Materials:

• Acrylic paint.
• Pencils.
• Cardboard.
• Markers.
• Big photo frame.
