Fish.

    In a cute little bakery in Adams Morgan, I found a fish. At least, that's what I think of every time I see this photo.

Flash Portrait.

Normally, I'm not one to use on-camera flash.  If you're trying to capture the nice side of your subject, it's not going to do you any good; the harsh shadows don't flatter about 99.99% of the population.  However, this time I was going for an edgier feel.  I was looking for the harsh shadows and angles they create.  

I'll admit, I'm not as familiar with on-camera flash as I'd like to be, but I know enough to get by.  This portrait is simple, but I think I got the point across as much as I could.  If not, it was at least fun to experiment.

Also, props to Kathleen for allowing me to photograph her all the time.  She's not one to jump in front of the camera, but she is always gracious to me when I ask her to snap a few shots.

Midnight Conversations.

I went to Kathleen's house last night to celebrate her 21st birthday.  We ended up talking until 3am.

Meet Kathleen.

  When I first came to George Mason, I was far from home and I didn't know anyone; that meant I had random roommates.  We had been communicating through email, Facebook stalking each other, and the like to get to know each other before we moved in together.  The funny thing was, we had a third roommate.  We both thought we wouldn't get along with each other and be besties with our third.  Turns out it was the exact opposite; we quickly became best friends, spending almost every waking minute with each other.  We've been best friends ever since.

Meet Kathleen.  One of the most beautiful and best people I know.  

Sorry guys, she's taken.
