Ever since September 2011 I've been quietly pursuing a Master's. It's been a real challenge to read and reflect in meaningful ways on the academic literature and new concepts we are taught. As a maker and craftsperson fusing theories and concepts from various philosophies has really changed how I see my work. I hope to share this process as I grow and learn through this blog.

I can shoot in square format) as well as a range of black and white settings. Lovely.

g. koizuni --judo master I love doing photoshoots. And my friend Lindsay is so game its hard not to get sidetracked with flash set-ups, dynamic poses and cool effects.......
This time we played around with burst shooting while Lindsay gamely jumped, ran, twisted and flopped....okay no flopping. But we didn't realize the burst shooting defaults to three megapixels, limiting: but sufficient! Its so much fun trying out new effects. |
