In case you didn’t know how to be an artist…, originally uploaded by bwhitlock55.

This should be a worthy substitute for my Senior Portfolio class. Yeah. I don’t know why they didn’t show this to us in Art School a long time ago.

I’ve been in constant internal battle on the difference in viewpoint of art and artistry between those involved in art, and the popular/common viewpoint towards art making. I’m been thinking of who to ease this difference. This poster is not reassuring that those gaps can be bridged.

There are four sentences in the middle that say, “Take lots of naps. Give money away. Do it now. The money will follow.”

That’s reassuring.

Suki Headshot, originally uploaded by bwhitlock55.

Here’s a dominant male headshot that was photographed for my Fashion Photography class. I love the black and white mix i applied here, as well as the soft white on the background and low contrast between the skin and the background. This was potentially one of the best studio shoots I’ve had, I believe.

I am just rediscovering some work I did about a month ago. I know, that sounds kinda funny, but the more I let some work sit, the more easily I can look at it objectively.

I knew this photo was good, but the more I let it sit on my drives and on Flickr, the more time it has to marinade, and thus the more I like it. This shot is a good example of that. It so technically successful as well as being a solid portrait.
