Reality in Images

I would like to start featuring different photographers on my blog at least once a week to show many different types of photography! I have been looking at different photographers around the world. One really stood out in many different ways. This man has been to many different countries including Afghanistan, Cambodia, Honduras, India, and many more. To me his photos are very inspiring both to photographers and people who like to look at art/photographs.

This first photo shows heart, soul, and emotion. He took this one in Afghanistan. Each one he takes has the same emotion as this one...
"He focuses on the human consequences of war, not only showing what war impresses on the landscape, but rather, on the human face." (http://www.stevemccurry.com/main.php)

Here are some more that really stood out out me...

                                                                      Cambodia...

Thailand...

                                                                           Pakistan...

                                                                         Bhutan...

                                                                       Honduras...                  

Black and White Photos

I have been working on some black and white photos for a friend. They just look so good that I decided to do some other ones just for fun!

Abandoned buildings, I think look the coolest in black and white! Gives them some type of ambiance and mystery. 

I also think that portrait pictures look great in black and white. There is so much one can do with a black and white photo. In the second picture there is some added color. Makes anything you add color to stand out hugely. Try it with your photo and see how much change taking out color can add!  :)

New things!

Well again it has been a long time since I have been on here. I really need to do a better job about posting things!

Since it has been so long I have a few great things to talk about! I have found a great studio to use, finally able to get indoor pictures! I had a great model, Alicia, who posed for me on my trial run of the studio. I have used a studio before of course, but it has been a while. I had to get back into the swing of things and man it was fun! Studio work is just as great as taking outside shots. Here are a couple pictures from the shoot...

The studio I used was awesome! It has so many cool and different props. Many different back grounds and things that some may not even think to use. I can't wait for senior picture time to start back up so I can get some more indoor shots! I also have some other pictures from the shoot at Krissy Marie Photography on Facebook that you should check out... :)

Any-who, school goes on. I have a couple classes that keep me busy when I would rather be doing something else. BUT it's just so darn important that I keep truckin' on. I get to work in a kindergarten room with my Aunt also. It is just so much fun. Tomorrow I will be teaching about the planets. I have black paper and chalk so they each can draw the planets in order from the sun all the way to maybe (pluto) who really isn't considered a planet anymore. UNLESS you ask Indiana. They passed a law that says Pluto is still a planet. Fun stuff huh!

I am excited to teach about it though. I really enjoy Astronomy and I hope the students tomorrow will too. They love to learn though and are just like little sponges, soak up information!  The reason I am teaching science is because I have an integrated science class. I have to have so many hours in the classroom. I wish I could just do this now as my job! I enjoy it was more then my real job. Shhh though, don't tell anyone there. ;)

I am going to try and get some more followers on here. I am not sure how to go about it, so if you start to read my page, follow me! Have your friends follow me also. The more the merrier!! :D

Listen to country

Up, up, and away!

Haven't blogged in a couple days on here. I'm kinda bad with keeping up! I have a good excuse though... Yesterday was my Birthday!! Yay for the big 22. ;) I had a good birthday, worked part of the day and then for school I go into a kindergarten class and teach a science lesson. Right as I walked through the door, not even two steps in the children were sitting around the carpet and sang happy birthday to me. It was so cute!  It definitely made my day... :) Later we had a birthday treat of brownies and they made me a birthday card. I had a lot of fun.

Later after I went out to dinner with my family including my wonderful boyfriend and best friend. Had some great Italian food and delicious cupcakes in the shape of a butterfly. It was an awesome day/night.

I also have been editing some pictures that are turning out great! I can't wait to get them back to the client. :D Also along those lines I am working on getting prices around for wedding pictures. I have a price for the wedding, but I am stuck on the actual picture prints. How do people do packages, I am oh so curious!! I have looked at a couple places, but everything seems a little out of the price range I want to be in. SO if there are any photographers out there, (hint, hint) that would like to comment or even message me on fb (Krissy Marie Photography) I would be so appreciative. I have a lot of research plus homework and photo editing to do!

I also have some new props for photographing babies! (Particularly girls) With head bands with flowers, cute hats and bows! I will be taking some pictures soon and posting them up! I am very excited to use some great things that I got for my bday!

Well I think that is everything I needed to catch up on so far!! Peace, Love, and Photos ;)

New Stuff!

Today has been a pretty long day. Work in the morning and two classes until six tonight, I am kinda tired. BUT I came home, relaxed, and colored... Yes, I said colored! With chalk... I know right! It's snowing outside, how could I be coloring with chalk you say?!?
     Well, I got two new small chalk boards in different designs! I would have to say they are pretty cool even though I am definitely not the best artist. I try though and that's all that count right! Well after coloring one I was surely impressed with myself. I love coloring though so even if it's not to perfection I had fun doing it. I bought them both to add a little bit of FUN props to my photography collection! How exciting. :) Here is the first one!

     I do have a second one which is just really fun! I'm sure I can do a lot with it colored in all the way or not... I could outline just like I did this one. And I thought I did a pretty clever job posing them to look kinda cool! Here is the second one to check out...

HOW cool are these shapes! I am going to look for some more so I can add to my collection. Watch it turn into my new hobby... searching for different shaped chalk boards in my spare time after school, work, homework, editing, riding (horses), cleaning the apartment, and MY Birthday! Which is Thursday, Im stoked... :) If you haven't read my other blogs you should check them out also! Starting up a blog is really cool I would have to say...  :D

Show your friends and you can also check out my page on the infamous FB, it's pretty awesome too! Krissy Marie Photography. Good nite!

Sunny day inside :)

Well, after making waffle for breakfast I decided to try and add some cool pictures to my blog. Well I wasn't very good at succeeding in the way I would have liked. I was able to get some pictures up that is shown at the top of my blog of some pictures I have taken. Though I am not able to figure out how to get them larger and be able to put more then one without making something in photoshop.

It looks gorgeous outside, but it is -2 degrees where I am at. So, my day has been made up of relaxing and trying to figure out this gosh darn blog! Since I am not able to figure out how to add pictures to the top of my page at this moment I will just add some to my blog like I did last night. :)

SO! Here are three to check out until I am able to get the ones I want at the top larger!! Comment and tell me what you think about it!
