Artwalk had some pretty interesting people. I swear one woman was carrying around a fake baby in her stroller, then a guy who looked EXACTLY like Dennis Hopper from Blue Velvet approached me and asked if I had found Jesus.I didn't sell any prints, probably because they were huge 16x20's, but made a lot of new interested contacts. Actually, in the two days after art walk about 120 new people read my blog, which is really exciting!
What I realized from art walk/the vendor next to me was that cute handmade headbands sell like baked bread haha. The headbands were very well made, and I know most if not all of my female friends would love to buy one of these. Here's the etsy website where you can get them.
After displaying my photography at art walk I've been really productive with my work. As I said before i'm focusing on people now, so i've taken a couple of pictures of myself (they are on lookbook/they were pretty hard to do by myself) and soon i'll be photographing two great friends who are going to model for me. For those who don't know what lookbook is, its an online, invite only community where people post interesting photos of themselves/ what they are wearing. Looks gain popularity by the number of people that "hype" them. Click on the HYPE link to go to lookbook.nu and hype me! Next time I will definitely have someone photograph me instead of using the camera timer.
Next, a couple of photographers and I have gotten together (This was David from the Jaxscene blog's idea) and decided to photograph the "Broken Places" In Jacksonville. Here's My take on that theme.
And here are some photos that did not fit in the "Broken Places category, but warrant posting on the blog. Interesting Story about the last photo; I kept on running into that couple that day and when I saw them sitting there I couldn't help but include them in the photo. the photo came out so beautiful, I kinda wish I would have given them a card for my blog so they could see it. Anyways i'll be posting up/actually doing those photoshoots soon and feel free to comment!
