On Sunday, I redid Page 24 of THE PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT. While I already did this page with Shannon, I decided to redo it because of the lighting conditions for that photo shoot weren’t ideal and it made those pictures very noisy.

This time I used Naima as the model and Jesse was a photo assistant.

Page 24

Page 24 is “Throw something at your subject and capture their reaction with a fast shutter speed.”

That picture is the one that will go in the book, but I thought you might also enjoy some of the rejects:

I took some photos with Nader on Wednesday, but I haven’t quite decided on them yet.

While I was mowing on Tuesday night, I discovered that I have a new neighbor. He has taken up residency in my woodpile. He is adorable! Have a peek:

I hope he never leaves!

Happy day drinking holiday to people who appropriate another’s culture as an excuse to day drink!
