Ostrich Farm & Solvang

Last week I went to an Ostrich Farm! It's a tiny place just off of the 101 on the way to Solvang. I suppose an old lady and her family live there and just make their money off of selling ostrich eggs and getting people to pay to see and feed them. Very fun, though :)



A super short video showing how vicious they can be when they eat:


Then we headed on over to Solvang! I realize a lot of my pictures don't really depict "Solvang," so I included a shot of a windmill, haha.

Week 32/52 Secret

I know I don’t know you
But I want you so bad
Everyone has a secret
But can they keep it
Oh no they can’t

Good news! I have a website now!

For some time now I've realized that I needed a website that would give a quick snapshot of my portfolio without having people look through page after page on my flickr or this blog, and so after putting it off for a while due to school and other things, I finally have one! :)

The Shallow End

I've always glanced for a millisecond at this location while driving to and from my internship. So on Sunday, Tyler and I finally went to go check it out. It's even better than I expected! This little river like area lives underneath the road and has some surprisingly okay light. It did smell a bit though...


ALSO! I have some exciting news to share with you all soon :)

Pariah Outtakes

I had some extra photos of the shoot from that day, so I thought I'd share. The light was particularly cooperative that day. :) Enjoy!

Week 30/52 Pariah

Still using that little meadow place I found a couple weeks ago :P It's such an awesome place to shoot!

Swing

29/52


This was a bit annoying to shoot. First off, the swing was pretty sketchy (as you can see the duct tape on it!) and it was at least about four feet off the ground. It was really tricky to get on it and hard to stay on it!
Second, once I got on, the swing started swaying back and forth relentlessly. I had to sit as still as I could for a couple minutes to try to get it to stay so I would stay in focus. Even worse, some random guy walked by all this!

I would hop on, suffer a few scrapes from wrapping the rope around my arm to get up, take a bunch of shots, hop off, and review the images. I got on and off about three times until I finally felt like I had something to work with.

Also, I have exciting news! I got hired to shoot my first wedding in late August - I am so excited! :)
