G.I. Joe Comic Line Art

Here is a G.I. Joe Line art I did for a Project in my advanced Photoshop class.  Please let me know what you think of it.  (No copyright infringements were intended.  All photos were downloaded by the instructor of the class.)  I would like to dedicate this one to our U.S. Military; the REAL American Heroes.  The blac and white in your left is what the instructor gave us.  All the colors in the finished one, on the right, were taken from real military colors and the shells for the ammo are pictures of actual ammo being used by Our Military.  The flags used are real U.S. Battle flags.

Reseda High School C/O 60 Shoot

I'll be shooting the birthday party for Reseda High School Class of 1960 tomorrow Sunday 02/12/2012 up in Van Nuys.  Since I'm going to video everything I do from set-up to tear-down I'll be posting it on both my personal blog and maybe on my youtube channel.  So that the more experienced photographers can critique my work and the less experienced can learn from what I did right as well as what I did wrong.  Therefore they can learn from my mistakes.

An Update....

Just wanted to post a little note:
I'm currently on my summer break from school.....  However, I will be posting more photo's , and some video, starting the middle to end of next week.  So sometime between June 8th and June 12th.  I'm in the process of editing some pictures that I took during the semester.  Also I'll be posting my "self-portrait" that I did using Illustrator; you all can get a good laugh.  This summer I plan on doing two series one of the Long Beach, CA scene and another that will showcase the LGBT community and the positive impact they have on society.  I'll also lay the ground work for not only a web gallery but also a series of the Churches here in California and the differences and the similarities between them.
Once again thank-you for all of those who are following my blog.  It warms my heart and soul that people do appreciate the time and effort that I put in to it.

Sexual Offender Protest

These are pictures taken of a protest outside of the Santora Arts Building on the Santa Ana Art Walk.  The protest was being held, due to my information, because one of the tenants of the building assaulted a young woman.  Santora Arts Building is at 207 North Broadway, Santa Ana, CA.
Please do not shoot the messenger.

As you can see there are ALOT of angry people out in front of Santora Building.....  My only wish on this blog post is that it brings awareness to sexual assult against every person of society.

These are the pictures I submitted on a photo project for my photography 190 class.  The purpose of the assignment was "Faceless Portraits".  And you can tell photoshop was used heavily.  Hope you enjoy them.
