Switchfoot-Taken by Jeremy Cowart

This guy has a huge portfolio filled with lots of musicians, celebrities, actors, and humanitarian geared pieces. He has a lot of good work, I think he's worth checking out for sure.

Student Art Show

I thought the Art Show was pretty cool. I enjoyed seeing everything the other art classes were doing, and I even discovered some art classes I didn't know SCC even had. There was a lot of good work, and there was a fair share of work I didn't quite "get".

Likes

• Skull Week Projects
• Oil paintings. Some of them had REALLy good detail.
• Jewelry. I had no clue there was a class for that, seems like it'd be fun.
• Sculptures. 

Dislikes

• The InDesign wall. Seemed like a waste of wall space for an art show. Pamphlets?
• Naked people from drawing class. ummmmmmm, yeah.
• Annex room. There were some cool sculptures, and artwork. But I think it would've been better if there was a theme for the room, not just a bunch of random pieces.

How to Photoshop!

Portraits of Strangers by Danny Santos II

This is actually a really cool blog, and it definitely fits with the assignment we have. He explains the situation he was in behind every picture, and there was a lot of "Can I take your picture?" "Yes". It's really that simple.

Johnny Cupcakes

This guy is a creative/marketing/business genius, and his self made clothing company has gone from T-shirts being sold out of his trunk, to a multimillion dollar business. One of the keys to his success has been his documentation of his company, pictures and videos of the company or their events are constantly posted. Here's a video they uploaded of the photo shoot they did for one of their lines they were releasing.

Check the company out. http://shop.johnnycupcakes.com

I'm not sure who made this picture, but it was definitely a shining example of how useful a tripod is.

Leeds Festival- Taken by Todd Owyoung

Something about music festivals outside of America...THEY ARE MASSIVE.
Thousands of people. Lights. Music. RAIN. Fireworks... this is a moment that was captured perfectly.

This person definitely isn't american, but they have a lot of great pictures. I loved the color in this photo a lot, and the architecture as well.

Terry Richardson

This guy has done it ALL. In his photoblog, there was a picture of him and an Amazonian tribe under this photo. I don't think he will ever slow down.

Warped Tour 2013- Taken by Alan Hess

Warped tour is the best event of the summer, and always one of my favorite days of the year. It's hot, loud, sweaty, and fun. I have respect for any photographer who can hold their own on this tour, and Alan has some great photos from this tour.

Tom Welsh

Sure, sure, you can take a photo of your friends skateboarding. But Tom Welsh (Get Deluxe) is another touring photographer/videographer. He follows bands around, capturing their moments on and off stage. And this is a band, skateboarding, ON A ROOF.

Notre Dame vs. Penn State-Taken by David Bergman

College football... the amount of white being worn in this photo is amazing. I love the high angle he captured this moment at.

Cubbi Fink, Bali- Taken by Andy Barron

If this picture doesn't express movement, I don't know what does. I feel like I'm on a motorcycle chasing the guy who was photographed on his bike. Definitely frame worthy.

Griffin Lotz

Kobra- Taken by Griffin Lotz

This photo was taken in Chelsea, New York. I think perspective/angle of this photo was PERFECT. The red brick building, the colorful billboard and wall art. How it looks like the person is a part of the street art, I really enjoyed this.

The Unseen Maui- Taken by Bryan Giardinelli

This is a really cool photo, specifically because it's in Maui, Hawaii. I've been there before, and it is beautiful. But the fact that he found a decaying bridge in a place like this is awesome.

Alex Gaskarth of All Time Low- Taken by Adam Elmakias

Adam Elmakias goes on tour with bands and musicians, and photographs them all day on tour. He has some of the best photographs in my personal opinion.
