Editorial- Schools Losing Funding for Music and Arts

Barbara Jayne Photography — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 04:08:33 +0000

So, coming up with ideas for this topic was not quite as easy as I thought. My whole life I was either into music, or art. I’ve played the piano, drums, trombone and guitar. When I was younger I use to love drawing! My fondest memories in school were always art class and music class, and to think kids won’t have memories like I had, breaks my heart!

Here are a few drawings and pictures to show what I want to accomplish in my Editorial Shot. It’s going to me a lot of manipulating and composting, and very little will be shot in studio.

Drawing 1: I was inspired by the toilet image. Flushing music and arts down the toilet, in a sense. Instead of money, I was planning on having music notes and different art supplies. I was also thinking between a toilet and a sink. If a toilet, it will be similar to the image except including tiled floors instead of black. If sink, it will be a full framed shot of a sink.

Drawing 2: I like the trashcan I idea. Throwing music and arts away. I will have the trashcan full of instruments, sheet music and art supplies. I would like to have some of the instruments crushed like a can, if possible, just for a little extra touch.

Drawing 3: I think keeping it simple is always good at getting to the point. Having broken instruments and torn up drawings.

Fat Tire

I decided to shoot Fat Tire for my Wines, Spirits and Beers assignment. I have a few of their glasses and decided to go for a pouring shot. I’m very happy with the way it turned out, clean and simple. I shot it from behind with a soft box to the right of it. Here is the final product!

The Tail of The Malfuntioning CF Card

Barbara Jayne Photography — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 03:18:57 +0000

After a very traumatizing and stressful weekend, I finally feel as if I can breath! For now on I’m shooting everything one TWO cards.

I shot my Fashion/Fantasy assignment, and was excited to go home, check them out, and edit them, but the joy quickly went away when I tried transferring the images from my CF card to my Laptop, and my laptop crashed and messed up my card!

I tried at least twenty different card recovery programs on multiple different computers, had a friend and my dad both try to help, and nothing seemed to work!

But then, Card Recovery came to my rescue, I recommend this to anyone and everyone, it was the only program that worked, even SanDisk Card Rescue Pro, which came with the card, did not work.

Dogs In Jail [Operation Second Chance]

Barbara Jayne Photography — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 02:15:38 +0000

Operation Second Chance is a program at the Gwinnett County Jail that rescues dogs and brings them to the jail where the inmates will train and take care of them, then try to get them adopted!

It is a really great program and is good for both the dogs, and in the inmates. I believe they should do this at ALL jails, and save dogs all over America.

Here are some images of the dogs I took this morning!

Beautiful End To A Hectic Semester!

Barbara Jayne Photography — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 23:30:18 +0000

Everything is coming along beautifully!

My projects are coming together, my stress is decreasing, and the end of the semester is so close I can taste it!

I owe a BIG thanks to my beautiful friends, Britney, Megan, and Carly for helping with my Multimedia II and Portraiture projects.

and a HUGE thanks to Lt. Col Donald Pinkard for helping me with my Photojournalism project!

I’m very thankful for all that have helped me, including the inmates and the dogs at the Gwinnett County Jail! [I'll be bringing all the dogs some treats and toys for Christmas Wednesday!]

I will have my projects posted next week after the critiques!

The End Is Near

Barbara Jayne Photography — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 23:14:21 +0000

Only two weeks until the end of the semester! A lot needs to be done until then, but I can not wait for the Christmas Season to begin!

BUT WAIT!

There is just so much to be done until then! I’m working on my Photo Essay for Photojournalism. I’m doing this on the Operation Second Chance, which is about the dogs in jail. I’m very excited about having the opportunity to be a part of such an amazing program! They take the dogs from the Humane Society that are on death row, and bring them to the Gwinnett County Jail, where inmates will care for them and train them, until they find an owner for them.

I also have my Fashion/Fantasy shoot for Portraiture II. I’m shooting my friend, in a green flowing dress, but this won’t be just any Photoshoot… I’m doing this underwater! I’ve always wanted to shoot underwater, and I’m going all in on this assignment.

And last, but not least. For my Multimedia II class. I have my Documentary assignment. I’m doing it on my friend who is graduating for Graphic Design, and is trying to jump start her own Graphic Design business.

Can’t wait to be done with all these projects and REST!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and Happy Holidays!!!

The Leaves Are Falling

So it is the perfect time to get your family pictures taken!

I had the luxury of taking pictures of one of my friends, and the weather was just perfect. Capturing those cute moments parents share with their kids really makes me happy, and seeing how happy my images makes them, is just the cherry on top!

Here are a few of the pictures taken the other day at the beautiful Little Mulberry Park!

Holiday Portraits

Barbara Jayne Photography — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 20:10:12 +0000

After weeks of planning and building the set, we have finally been able to start with our Holiday Portraits! The first day was a success, and I am hoping for more successful days to follow! It is such a fun experience meeting new people and capturing beautiful images of them. Creating memories that will last a life time!

Normally I’m against Christmas music and decorations before Thanksgiving, but this year I am loving every bit of it! I also work at a Portrait Studio and we’re doing Holiday Portraits there also, but nothing beats working with your classmates and shooting on a set you helped build together!

It’s amazing how we all came together and made this a possibility!

If you have yet to get your holiday portraits done, come check out our set and see what it is all about!

Hope to see you soon!
