Can't Eat; Can't Sleep; I'm Sick.

That's a lie. I'm not really sick, but it is true that I can't sleep...which is a shame considering I have class at 9am. I think I will just exhaust myself today so I am forced to go to bed at a reasonable hour tomorrow. Last semester as an undergraduate student...high five, you guys!

I'm going to continue with the Kegadoru series...these ones portray more of the innocence that the original Japanese concept had...I didn't want to directly copy every photo they had, but provide a good variety from a more Western view.


Same model as in one of my last photos, but I believe the setting changes the emotion quite a bit.


She is completely legal, by the way...


This photo probably represents the closest to the "Japanese" kegadoru photos...all white clothing, wearing undergarments and bandages. Often times they have needles and scissors as well. You'll probably see her in a lot of my photos...we lived together for a while, so she was readily available for modeling at short notices.

Friday I am picking up my photo package which contains 11 rolls of various 120 film and a pack of 11x14 paper. I'll hopefully get started that day also on my new project, assuming I can get the model's schedules worked out. I have a place in mind that I wish to do the photo, however I have not been there for a good couple years and am afraid it has changed or maybe isn't even there at all. Maybe I will have to visit earlier in the day to make sure. Last time I was there, the old building was still standing, the grass had grown to a good 3 feet and the lock on the fence around the building was open. I don't need to enter the building for this project, but without the actual building it would ruin it a bit for me.

Also, there is another photographer named Shannon Rhea who comes up when you google. This is bull shit bulll shitttt. I obviously don't feel threatened because I think my work speaks for itself. Is this an elitist attitude? Maybe.
