In Repair...

I regret to announce my main body, my Canon 5D, is in the shop and is going to cost me a healthy amount to repair. It should be back and working within the next week or two, though! From now on, I'm going to protect the camera from every form of moisture! Luckily, it was exposed to a bit of freshwater instead of salt, so it should be fine. In the meantime, I've been experimenting with film. Nothing beats a great black and white exposure, or a rich Velvia slide. I shall have more to post soon. I should find out my camera's status tomorrow or Tuesday :). Until then, happy living!

Catching Up - Part II

Catching Up.

Hello, everyone!

Well, it's been a long while since my last post. School was pretty intense this past semester. Life drawing was almost unbearable, with 3D design taking up a lot of time, as well.

Many things have changed on my end of the spectrum. First, I had the honour of photographing two weddings this Spring and have learned quite a bit about the art. I wish eternal happiness to both couples and have posted some of my favorite images below!

Secondly, I've decided to take my photography in a bit of a different direction. As a BFA Visual Communications major at CSU Long Beach, I'm beginning to want to 'break out of the box' that many modern photographers have erected for the art. What rules apply in photography and design, and which are meant to be broken? ARE there any rules, or is the artist's creativity the only limit? I'd like to think the latter is true, and I've been experimenting with many different styles and ways of taking photos and processing them.

Those two happenings inspired me to create Alexander Fitch Photography and Design, through which I shall offer my photographic and design talents, since both forms of art often go hand-in-hand. I'm going to be processing a new batch of head shots I took for Eulis Kay or Disneyland Entertainment Productions / AGVA over the next couple of days, so do look forward to seeing some of those posted later this week. I am also heading up to visit my uncle in Bishop and the Eastern Sierras this Thursday-Monday, so I will have a nice batch of nature photos proceeding, as well.
