my mom asked me to put these up. so not cool
Ahhh, so the long awaited verdict for the triple-murder Thanksgiving Day slaying finally came to an end today. Went to the courtroom about an hour before they let people in to get shots of the friends and families. The environment was tense to say the least. Not intense, just tense. Some shouting and yelling before being allowed into the courtroom, but the bailiffs were insistent on arresting anyone who showcased any “outward” expressions of emotions. Before they actually called the verdict, the room was DEAD silent…i could hear my heart pounding, hard, it was wild. Both guys were charged and found guilty on everything, 3 counts of murder, 2 of assault and one of kidnapping, and i think most everyone knew that it was gonna happen.
heres are the photos and the link to the article

I got this book by Jason Eskenazi, the one i talked about a few posts down, and its really been a game changer for me. The style of shooting is so much of how i want to shoot. Its so clean, the timing is perfect, the subjects are interesting and it gives a sense of curiosity to the image, something that i think is the most valuable. Technically, eskenazi has such nice use of the foreground plane to make an image more of a photograph (the foreground plane is something that i personally love and have been trying to do as much as i can). Im so used to shooting 1.4 and just blurring the shet out of my images, its about time i really slowed down, and focused on the subject, which includes the foreground and background. Let the light and composition do the talking. As part of this new transformation, i just bought a cheapo rangefinder (old school film camera) that im going to be using religiously…slow things down a bit.
ive gone through the book a few times now, and coupled with the rangefinder, i hope i can start shooting a bit differently now. I want my photos to capture moments, like real moments, things where anyone can look at and see a slice of life in. thats the big thing, is to see life in the photograph. if i can accomplish that, ill be happy.
heres stuff i took today that i think is a step forward
