this was originally an account for a class and i've now decided to try and make it more. i have a friend who recently decided to try and put out at least one image every day for a year. recently my lack of identity in my work has been brought to light and i have decided to work it till i cant work it anymore. so i Ariel Spaugh am going to take a similar task on, to help mold me into the best photographer i can be, at least one photo worth showing a day for 365 days. the longest commitment i have ever made and im sure it is going to make my life that much harder but maybe it will help me find my identity along the way..

re-edited images =] im hard core failing with the every day but life presents dilemmas and problems and as long as your working your ass off i figure im still growing and learning something. one of the main things is that i am doing a lot of photoshop work and it takes longer than a day to do, so here are two examples of me growing within that work. hope you all like it =]

"Instead of stubbornly attempting to use surrealism for purposes of subversion, it is necessary to try to make of surrealism something as solid, complete and classic as the works of museums."

ok so obviously i am not able to post an amazing new image everyday, BUT i am working on images every day so i figure since i am working on my photoshop skills, that is ok =] so! moving on, looking forward, here is a surreal revision of the fashion, for my portfolio, i don’t know what it means if its amazing or stupid, but id love you input so let me know!

and last but not least, the beach shoot, first time working with a model i have never met before, and it went really well! she did an amazing job and i feel that they turned out really nice! i think im going to go with the first one, but if anyone has feed back let me know!

next shoot for my fashion class was my niece and nephew and i posted some earlier but here are the 2 i’ve narrowed it down too =] … which i posted earlier, these have very slight adjustments haha

so! here is me making up for some of the days i have gotten behind on, and its going to be in a few posts. so this was at chapel of the chimes, which was amazing but we got kicked out kinda quick so we didn’t get a lot, but my lovely model Bri did a wonderful job =]

ok sooo day 15 and i have many a photos coming up to make up for the days i have missed, but as im sure all of you know, life gets crazy and some times you fall behind. i have been working on things each day, but none are full finished and i don’t want to post things i feel are not up to par. that and being sick sucks haha so here are to final images for fashion and i still have 3 more shoots to work on as well hope you like them!
