great gallery. Love the life realism kind of work you do, like 'Every Morning'

thank you so much, checked out some of your photos. i especially like the one of the lake and the reflection of the sky. did you flip the image upside down? it's almost perplexing to me. hah.

~johannsone May 8, 2009, 4:41:29 AM

I did flip it! It was a very nice pic when I took it {sideways} and as I rotated it, upside down it looked very cool.
I just took a bunch of photos out of my gallery. I really want to 'learn' to take good pics. So that what I see in my head, turns out on paper, if that makes sense.

I looked through your gallery and really enjoyed every picture. You are very talented. I, for some reason, really love the one of you and your sister fixing up your room. I think it was your facial expression and body language, you just seem to have been caught in a very genuine state of happy.

that's awesome, i love when people think differently from all corners, even after the picture is taken, the artist has every right to alter it somewhat in how they display it (minus MAJOR photoshopping...not really into that. hah)

and with all due respect no one can truely 'teach' some one to take a good picture, it's all with a good eye and subject placement really, but i totally get what you're saying when you take a picture, or see something and want it to turn out a certain way, but when you print it, it's not at all what you wanted. photography is nothing but learning patience, hah, which sucks.

thank you so much! i love feedback about my work, of any kind.
heh, yeah, that picture is super old, i started laughing because my sister was making a smartass remark while waiting for the self timer to go off. i guess things happen for a reason.

~johannsone May 9, 2009, 8:14:59 PM

I don't really appreciate photoshop stuff either. I like raw. And yeah you can't really 'learn' to take pics, but I guess you can get the finer points down, like removing the lens cap

Ah and sweet patience, that can be so elusive, but some things, the wait is the best part with the end result being such a sweet reward.

and I couldn't help but wonder what your sister was saying. Me, I'd be worried that my butt would look huge or my butt crack would be hanging out or worse yet, the dreaded 'wedgie' would be fully visible in the shot. Nothing more unnerving than trusted your backside to someone. I mean you never really get a good view of it. Who knows what the camera will do to you.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work!
