The Fear

nobody@flickr.com (Gabriella Corrado) — Sat, 19 Jan 2013 13:35:00 -0800

"For those that like the same sex had the characteristics
The right-wing conservatives think it's a decision
And you can be cured with some treatment and religion
Man-made, rewiring of a pre-disposition
Playing God
Ahh nah, here we go
America the brave
Still fears what we don't know
And God loves all his children it's somehow forgotten
But we paraphrase a book written
3,500 years ago
I don't know"

Please listen to this song while viewing this photo FULL SCREEN (flickr sharpening boo). The entire picture is based around this song and especially the quote on the picture. I knew I had to take a picture inspired by it and have been planning it for a while. It definitely did not come out how I expected, at all, and it is not one of my bests, but I really do like the concept.

Finally, my first upload of 2013! I plan on shooting a lot this year. I took a pretty long break from it for acceptable reasons, but now I'm going to put more time towards shooting. I have been catching up with my lovely flickr contacts too. Thanks for all the support I have gotten so far, love you all <3 PS I used one of the amazing Sarah Ann Loreth's actions to edit part of this !

Tried to do something different and go with a cinematic feel here.. not sure if I like the result

School starts tomorrow and I can not believe it. This summer went by soo quickly! It always does. I think I grew a lot as a photographer this summer and I hope I can still say that at the end of the year

Also, I am still doing project 104, just need some time to get started again! 18/104

Final days of summer

I shot this the last day I was in Italy. Basically everything went wrong during this shoot and I wish I had something better to show for it. I find this kinda cliche, but it symbolizes the last days that our left of summer. In a week, the best summer of my life will end and I am not ready. Its going to be such a long year

And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries

felt so nice to shoot a planned concept and I am happy with it. I did it first thing in the morning, which is why my hair is a mess. I was scared the whole time that either
1. My grandmother would walk in
2. I would spill wine on myself
.. both of those things happened of course. When my grand mom came in it was the most awkward thing. Since I don't speak Italian that well we can't communicate and she just kinda walked out. Oh well! I think the concept is pretty self explanatory, but feel free to interpret it as you please.

theme: Doors 13/104

This represents the window of time I have to be with my family in Italy. Just something simple, but meaningful to me.

While similar, it was not inspired by Kiara's shot, but her self portraits are my biggest inspiration

and i'm sorry for being a crappy contact lately. Just the internet is slow and I don't have a lot of free time, but I'm trying to stay caught up!

The Ballerina

I started dancing ballet and modern last year just for fun and I love it. I've wanted to do a dancing shot for a while now and I finally did it! I was inspired because my dance studio awarded me two things. I was named "most determined dancer" and I got a scholarship for 5 free classes a month!! I was so exited.

More exiting news.. My godfather bought me photoshop! So I have been learning how to use it and playing around with some new things. I also started shooting in raw. The things you can change are incredible, i love it.

Anyway! Taking this was not easy. I didn't have enough time to really think and I never had a good pose and face, it was either one or the other. Oh well, I need to practice modeling or something because I stink... and people kept walking and driving by and I looked ridiculous

I have been thinking way too much about my future lately. Its stressing me out

I found this beautiful place 5 minutes away from my house but its private land and I was so scared here.. oh well I felt better after I got this shot. Self portraits can be very therapeutic

Theme: Loneliness and solitude
Perfectly lonely

I really need to catch up on project 104, i think I am two weeks behind blahhh. I have been babysitting almost everyday since my summer started, but I have two photo shoots planned for the future. I got my new lens also(: I LOVE it. I took it out for 30 minutes and snapped this. It is actually my first expansion (Ignore the obvious mistakes) I really wanted to expand the top as well, but I didn't have enough pictures and it wasn't looking right. But I am still happy with this and where I have gone with the editing, it was a fun one! I would love some feedback people!

flickr sharpening strikes again.. view LIGHTBOX I BEG YOU

I don't know what I am doing here, but for the first time in a while I actually like it. After this shoot, I felt soo happy. I just love the way photography makes me feel. I went to this tiny patch of woods between my house and a gas station and got so frustrated at first because I forgot my tripod and had to go back, then I forgot the part that connects the camera to the tripod annnnnnd then I forgot my remote! I was to lazy to go all the way back again to get my remote so I used manual focus. I figured if Kiara Rose could do it, I could! Once I got in the groove, I completely ignored the bugs and the fact that people might have been watching me. I think it came out ok, maybe

I went out to take self-portraits for the first time in forever yesterday and of course I forgot my remote... I wanted a picture before the trees went bare, but just didn't have a concept in mind. I'm feeling really disappointed in my photography lately, i just feel like I don't have the creativity everyone else has

I would turn of the comments.. but I don't know how..

fjdskhf flickr ruined the colors in this

I'm mad at myself. I haven't been making time for photography lately and I really just want to take a break and enjoy my trip. But its so beautiful here so I'm forcing myself to shot anyway. This is all I could come up with, and I'm not satisfied with it at all. It might not stay long because I look ridiculous

On a brighter note, my 16th birthday is in 3 days :)

Please lightbox this !!

freestyle 11/104

I don't like or dislike this really. For some reason I liked the fact that it was out of focus. Kinda boring, but just wanted to show you all that I am alive! I made it to Italy and this is the first of the many self portraits to come. The plane ride took 8 hours followed by a 4 hour drive (I have a story about that which I'll share sometime soon) and I didn't get internet in the house until today. Sorry for being a terrible contact lately. I'm going to try my best to stay on top of everybody's work!

I am currently thinking about starting my first series and I am super excited. Its going to be the complete opposite as this... that is all I will tell you for now. I shot the first one, but the expansion is driving me crazy. Hopefully I don't have to re-shoot. My grandmothers house has given me so much inspiration to photograph because it is amazing. I plan on taking a picture basically everywhere in this house

Special thanks to the incredibly talented Julia for writing me my first testimonial <3 Please go look at her photographs, you won't regret it

one last thing, lightbox this

When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.

Oh do I have a story for you! Yesterday i really really wanted to get out and shot the theme for project 104. So i got my dad to drive me to this park and I went into the deep woods (ignoring the thundering and occasional drops of rain..) and took some pictures, but I couldn't really get to the spot I wanted to because I was a little nervous it was going to rain. After a little, I looked at my phone and saw this lovely message from my dad.. "Thunderstorm warning. Take cover" and I freaked!!! So I packed my stuff and my camera tightly in the bag and then it came. IT POURED! so bad and i had no idea what to do. The trees were shielding some of the rain but I was scared of lightening! Just as it started to let up a little, I took a run for it. Stuffed my camera bag inside my shirt (thank god no one was there) and got out of the woods. There was a barn at the park, but it was all the way across a field. The run felt like forever and I could barely see where I was going. I got there though and when I checked my bag is (somehow) was completely dry inside(: I, on the other hand, was not! I was stuck under the barn till the rain stopped so I took advantage and took some self portraits. I kinda like this one. The fogish area was an accident in photoshop but I think it looks like an open door. Now go look in light box
