Was the second pic really necessary? I look like a tool! But I still love the sweater, bitch.

Wow, I am so impressed by your diligence! I would have given up after about 264 stitches! They look awesome!

A quick Halloween costume I whipped up for my son. My little decapitated cutie!

We just moved in and my poor bedroom was looking quite bare. So I decided to paint a series to hang over my bed. It is acrylic on canvas. Thanks for looking!

that is so awesome! can you make a don king felted wig?

That is so funny you said that, I am working on one now!!

Hahaha, he is so cute! He would make a great calendar!

Thank you everyone, I really appreciate all the advice. I am feeling a bit more creative and ready to pick up the camera again. All those shots I did in my living room, haha! Thank God B&W is so forgiving.

Hi,
 So here's my critique:
The 2nd photo is nice, the negative space surrounding a detailed scene is a nice theme but the figure is posed in an unflattering position (to much crack if you will), what else is on the contact sheet?  I would like the rose photo even more with out the hand coloring, I LOVE the models pose and the depth of field bouquet is nice but I would like all that to be balanced with the foreground having more detailed black blacks and white whites -you can achieve this by just "burning" in the roses with a 5 filter to add contrast, and then using a bleach mix for the highlights (for super whites).  The last pic has nice technique about it BUT the pose isn't tension filled enough -as my BF said I don't feel like he's bound, there's no tension.  You really have to shoot over and over until you get the emotion you want from the model, this feels like the second or third shot -so what else is on the contact sheet?

I would encourage you to shoot more, you have a great eye especially for B&W!

Thanks a bunch! I have never had anyone give me real criticism, they always just say "those are great" I am self taught and haven't picked up my camera in a few years. Unfortunately all my negs. were lost in a cross county move and all I have are the hard prints. I was considering taking it up again, but nowadays with photoshop and stuff it seems the art is being lost. Just out of curiosity, can I have a quick critique on this one, (I don't do all nudies  ) it is my favorite.

I am working on a calendar for my husband for Christmas. He loves his Gypsy-Doodle sooo much so I am photographing her for each month, this is what I have so far:

Whooo hoooo! You are no longer a crochet virgin! Way to go! (plus you look too cute in those pics!)
