i'm in the thick

of finals. yuck. and guess what? i'm procrastinating, and you're reaping the benefits of it.

i just finished editing the first of two photo series for a final critique tomorrow morning. this project was an experiment for me...and i REALLY like the way it has turned out. i usually work with a feminine subject matter, but thought i would try to compliment an earlier series with a male version of similar feel. i rigged up my own studio here at home with a sheet and some harsh aluminum reflector clamp lights that my dad had in the garage. horray for being inventive! i dug around for some old-ish looking tools and items most specifically related to men: hankies, an old razor, work gloves, suspenders, a pipe, a handful of change, etc. i then used my favorite man as my hand model and clicked the shutter...a few hundred times.

and here's the result. let me know what you think!

back to the eye twitching,
