This morning, I went to Stephanie Swingle’s house to photograph for our school assignment, Fairy Tales. Stephanie is doing Snow White, and Sagari (the other girl who met with us — a very cool Junior) is doing Cinderella. Because “How the Moon Began”, my chosen story, features four brothers and takes place at night, I wasn’t able to take any pictures, and instead provided modeling services for Stephanie and Sagari. I got to be Snow White and Cinderella’s Prince, which was quite an experience. While not modeling, I held the lights for optimum effect. Jolly good. I look forward to seeing the negatives — I’ll try to convince Stephanie to let me scan some of her finished images.

Meanwhile, I’ll be continuting to flip through Sandman in search of a story I prefer over “How the Moon Began”. I have lots of cool ideas for HtMB, but it may prove difficult to convince some of my friends to don airy, wispy garments and dance in a moonlit graveyard. A long exposure, with the cameraperson splashing us with flashlights. That would be awesome, say I. Stephanie and Sagari have volunteered to help me, though, and my parents will be there most likely, so they might be enough. Hurrah! I hope Mrs. Yoshii approves. She seems less open to alternative techniques than some of my previous instructors.

Anyway, I got back home last night at 2 AM and woke up at 10. From 11-3, I was at Stephanie’s. I got one hour to work on my college essays (all week, mind you), and now, at 4, I’m off to an essay workshop. I need a nap.

Oh — if you haven’t seen the photographs I shot yesterday for my other Photography class (God help me), there right here. Comment if you haven’t already.
