Reid and the UNR Greenhouses

Today I was fortunate enough to shoot an assignment involving Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid taking a tour of the UNR Ecological Expirement Station. Please enjoy some of the many, many shots I got. (By the way, does anyone else have problems with Blogger robbing photos of warmth?)













:Edit: Here's some more. Because I'm crazy.

4000 Miles

I've got quotes for this trip. I've got descriptions for this trip. I've got feelings for this trip. Ideas. Scraps of paper. Lists. Lyrics. Memories. What I also have is a surprising lack of photos. I know. I've got a few ideas as to why that is, but none of them have any credibility. Here are the few I did capture.

Campus Rail Jam and Baseball Angle

First I'll show you a few photos I got at the Campus Rail Jam. Pretty neat event, if a bit pointless.




Now here's a new angle I'm playing with at baseball games. It's most definitely been done before... I think. But it's new to me.

Wishes on stars.

Here are the promised photos of the astronomy class. It was a fantastic experience. I hope the photos do it justice.

Because there's always more.

There are moments where you realize there are thousands, millions, billions of things you've yet to do.

One of these things is stargazing on a rooftop. I covered an astronomy class tonight and have since vowed to buy myself a telescope.

Now for a pretty rectangle to tide you over

Update on Projects

The Untitled Las Vegas Project is stalled till summer.

My Self Portrait can only begin after the spring semester ends.

I have a portrait thing planned for a girl. Two shots.
- Face shot of girl in front of a field of stars.
- Close up of lips exhaling a thin breath. Stars behind.

Untitled University Project
See this.

Gethell
I actually saw that someone did this similar project so this will just have to be a personal project. But getting into our closed old library is the idea. And documenting the small things we left behind is the point.

Untitled History Project
This one is my new baby. I'll probably not get to this one for years. The basic premise is to select moments from the time before photojournalism and document them again. Obviously staged. And I have tricks up my sleeve of how to do it right. What inspired this was my art history class. My teacher remarked that the paintings we were seeing were moments taken out of time. That they were the photos of the era. And I began wondering how a photojournalist would cover Jesus giving the keys to the kingdom to the first pope. Needless to say I love this whole idea and I'm thinking of new ideas every moment.
