New Photos

So when I went up to Pennsylvania over Thanksgiving break I took advantage of the fact that my parents own a bar. I wanted to use other surroundings for my women in war photos. The whole experience was pretty funny and kind of difficult. For one the lighting is horrible in this bar, there is like one window in the whole place and it is not where near the actual bar. The other thing was that even though I did most of my shooting early, some of the few customers that were there were kind of irritable about me disrupting their usual groove. But it was pretty amusing when people were walking through the door while I had my face covered in army paint and a helmet on. People kind of jumped when they came through the door. It is really difficult involving the public in this. I am going to continue using other areas, but I'm not sure how well incorporating the public is going to work out right now. This section of my project is definitely ongoing. I hope that by the end of Sr. Portfolio next semester I will have come up with some nice shots using the public and muster up more courage.
