To add to the fun that is photography, I’ve created a blog for my photography shoots that clients can choose to use to share their images, as well as show folks what I can do! Check it out, share with your friends, and oh, please hire me! Only you can prevent bad pictures — by getting me to take your pictures. I’m looking at you, central Illinois.
…I did a Punisher shoot it was FREAKING AWESOME.
Much like a Muppet wildly waving his arms, I get excited when I get to put up new pix for the site. You can check out my latest Musician gallery additions, for the Champaign bands the indie Year of the Bobcat and the metalcore By Any Means, here on the photo site. I happen to enjoy both of these bands very much. YotB was playing at one of CV Lloyde’s free shows and I was asked by the establishment to take some shots of the event, and By Any Means happened to be playing at the same show I was going to see Proximity Fuze.
These are my two favorites from the BAM show.
Year of the Bobcat is freaking adorable:
While I’m out and about, putting around on the bike, studying for the certification test, or in robot mode at work, I’ll start thinking about something that I want to post about. Subjects include my current joint issues with the impending cold weather, how I now eat less beige food due to the gluten-free diet, what I plan on doing with photo stuff, my motorcycle, where Altria is planning to get to next, etc. I even think out my paragraphs, what each will be about, and how I will go about interjecting lulz in my srs business. Then I go home to either 00J and/or fuzzy kitties and I immediately stop thinking about anything vexing.
SOMETIMES IT IS ANNOYING TBH. Does this mean I’m old now? Either that or I’m addicted to reddit.
I’d really like www.haddadinkphotography.com to launch this week. I THINK IT’S HAPPENIN.
Wait, I have a blog? WHAT IS THIS?
Lots of shit has been going down in these parts:
The summer has mostly been about the band, the website, the photos, and the studying. All parts have taken over my life at different time periods. Today’s email exchange with my web designer is probably one of my favoritest.
Within the last few months, I’ve been receiving friend requests from females who are scantily clad in lingerie and nighties, and they seem to be my age or younger. I never know who these women are nor do I believe they are actual people with feelings and hopes and dreams. With that in mind, I will now be posting them on here. That’s what they all want, right? The attention? Today’s latest request is from Natasha Brown, who actually has that she went to U of I (my alma mater) and went to a hoity toity high school.
Judging by the poor lighting, hair, and makeup, this instance may very well be a real person behind this profile. The Ikea lamp in the background is perplexing as well. Maybe she just wants a real photographer to shoot her? Maybe she should try messaging. Somebody who graduated high school and college four years earlier than everyone else her age should probably know about that option.
I’m not sure if it’s more distressing to be friended by fake profiles of girls or real profiles from Lebanese men.
From time to time, I’ll go through phases of interest on finding deals on certain objects usually relating to skating, music, or photography. Tonight I’m poking around for a particular camera body, and this listing is the cheapest on ebay.
Yeah… gonna wait on that model a little longer.
As the summer months are drawing closer to an end, a new beginning for Haddad Ink has arrived! A gothier front page will now entice potential clients into my artwork, bwahaha!
Actually, things like image examples and contact information are pretty good things to have on the page that is the first impression of this business. I have a link set up for those on mobile devices to still be able to view images with a link to my crafthaus albums. The photography page got a mini revamp as well, registering my stuff with a Creative Commons smackdown licensing, links for mobile album users, and some featured galleries.
The middle of the front haddadadad page is a rotating slideshow of some of my work, including the commission painting on this snapshot. That thing is five feet wide! I like making bigger paintings. They are the most rewarding to see finished.
I’m shooting a wedding this weekend. Expect a new example album in a few weeks!
The band is finishing up two tracks, “Only You Know” and “Follow You,” to be our demo tracks that actually sound like we know what we’re doing. They’ll be going up on the Bandcamp as soon as they’re cleared.
It’s happened. I’ve been gifted a Mac product.
I’m not denying this is a pretty piece of hardware. It’s sleek and has been designed to handle images and music in the most awesome way possible. Its top-of-the-line inner things maximize the battery life. The part I loathe is that all the cool stuff costs money and there are no USB or firewire ports. The only way into that thing other than the magical one little dock/port/soul suck thing under the home button is… i can’t find a way, nor a way to easily go “back,” and the wireless picker-upper isn’t as powerful as my laptop’s.
With this all in mind, I’m going to do my damnedest to make use of this giant iPhone that can’t make calls. Somehow this iTouch without a camera will become part of the business side of Haddadadad. My aunt meant well when giving me this really really nice and trendy computer screen, and I should use it. There’s bound to be good uses photography-wise.
I’m all for paying for quality programs that help me actually do something useful, like a Photoshop dealy or a music editor with tons of options. Paying for instant messengers, RSS readers, most games, and photo trinkets are not on my list. The only free multi-platform messengers are made for iPhones for now.
Palringo shows up tiny on the screen. It’s kind of adorable and sad and annoying at the same time. The important thing for now is the application works! Woohoo! Communication.
I still can’t find my battery charger.
^What happens when I get a camera and need to be “professional.” Okay really I was checking the mark distance and shadow placement and didn’t set the focus.
OWWWWW from standard.net.
“It was pretty embarrassing.” he said. “I just felt like a jackass. I wasn’t scared. You can tell right away when you’re hurt really bad. I just knew I wasn’t really injured.”
Ryan McGeeney, a photographer for the Standard-Examiner, was taking pictures in the field. In the part where the javelins go to get measured. Where he’s not supposed to be. He didn’t do it on purpose! He wasn’t paying much attention and suddenly a giant metal pole was through the skin of his knee.
Mr. Lucky only pierced his skin and had thirteen stitches to close it. Don’t worry, he took a picture of it during the jav’s stay in his knee.
oh right and read it on deadspin.
