Lights, Camera, Action!

I recently figured out some amazing actions and made quite a bit of use of them through some photographs I've taken recently. The last one, however, was shot by Jessica Cook while I did the editing. I've also been practicing to photoshop makeup, as shown in the last two.

Winter Weather

Another semester already! I'm taking quite a few classes that I'm sure will hold some new revelations for myself. First up documentary photography, in which I was given the assignment to take a single picture. I wanted to challenge myself to shoot something sepia tone in hopes of breaking my blue-hue stronghold. And of course JCook looks best in warm colors no matter how cold it really is.

Happy Holidays

For the last two weeks I had winter break from OSUIT and unfortunately not very much gotten taken care of. While I was able to purchase Photoshop CS5 and Adobe Premiere, I spent most of my time taking care of my mother who underwent a very painful oral surgery. I did get the opportunity to photograph the town's Christmas parade.

It's over 9,000!

One of my final assignments for my advertising class this semester was to create a campaign consisting of four images. I have to say that this was my FAVORITE assignment that I've tackled all semester and I'm giddy with my results. I picked video games for my campaign, angling towards a "violent video game" edge with my advertising. Many thanks to the awesome Amanda, David, and Mariah.

The footage was taken at Ruben's Mexican Restaurant in Stigler, Oklahoma. The interview features the manager, Ruth Ann, and her dealings with life inside and outside the workplace.

Stitches

Jesse is a Tiffany's boyfriend, who also worked at the Castle of Muskogee. These were taken in the Muskogee area, from railroads to random buildings to the Castle itself!

Tiffany is a superb girl I met while working at the Haunted Castle of Muskogee. She's graduating this year and asked me to do the honors of her senior portraits. It was great working with her at the Castle and even more when shooting these images.
