So in my previous post I mentioned I wanted to post about something but forgot what it was, I remember now. I had this idea well it was long ago but I remembered it this morning of a cool idea for a photo shoot. I admit it isn't to original it sounds like something Spencer Tunic would do but it really isn't. The idea would be to have some take pictures of me or of a chick completely naked but in a setting where you wouldn't notice the nudity. Of course Guerilla photography can be dangerous and could get one arrested. Part of doing it good is using a tripod and having all the lighting set ups preplanned and written down so the person could set up the camera then yell go and then the person runs out of the van and the person with the camera takes the picture. The picture would be of City Hall with someone nude it front of it one close up to confirm the person is nude then zoom out and get most of the building and then all of. The point of the picture would be that you would get the entire building and the only person in front of it would be nude but compared to the rest of the building you would hardly be able to see the nudity at all. I don't know what that says from an art point of view but I kinda like what it says. Of course any location would have to be prescouted. I think other places in Buffalo that might work but not sure are HSBC Arena maybe since it isn't to tall maybe laying down, maybe some form of Dunn Tire Park might work but again Height is a problem, ECC Downtown and the HSBC tower would work for sure. There might even be a bunch of churches with there tall towers would work pretty good. Not saying I would do this and I'm not recruiting anyone to take the pictures but it is kinda a cool idea. I think that it might work some place like NYC where there are more iconic places like the statue of Liberty and places like that. It might even be cool to travel to cities to do and only do it in front of famous places. If some goes through that much trouble someone might as well get someone else to video it. So if anyone needs a cool art project there you go. I wouldn't be surprised if this has all ready been done. The difference though between me and Tunic is it isn't about the nudity or the mass of bodies it is about being out side and in the nude but making so you don't notice the nudity because of what is being shot in the background. By the way if what is in the background of the picture is the point of the picture does the terminology change.

The point that I want to make is yes I do take pictures. I have taken them at parties, sports events, things out side, my place and other things like concerts or events. But I think it is important to note that is different to aim a Camera and figure out what setting something looks like how you think it should look and doing photography. The camera does the photography for you, you just have to find out what setting does it the best for your needs. For example when I'm at a Bandits game and I'm on the glass I have to turn the flash off. If I don't it hits the glass and makes a crazy picture. At some events if you use a flash it will hit the people in or stuff in front of you and then make what you want to see look dark. So to capture the light you turn the flash off but then to much movement and they blur or sometimes the people look fuzzy. Dark lighting can be very tricky. For example last year at (e:theecarey)'s if you use a flash then it gets very bright and you lose the fire effect but you see the people but if you do it the other way then you get the brightness of the moving fire and not the people. There are all kinds of different settings or most digital cameras that will cause the picture to look different. Some of them (mine I think there is a way to) you can cause the shutter to stay open longer and let in more light, Hope you have a tripod or a really steady hand. The point I'm trying to make is that yes one can get very good at using there camera but it is important to remember that what makes photography photography is being done by the camera and not the person doing when taking pictures (like I do). For those photographers here On (e:strip) I do respect you for your skills (even if I'm not to sure of what they all are). I myself have heard some of the basics but hearing what some of them are and being able to do them isn't even close to the same. Who knows maybe some day I'll take a class. I'm not saying I would ever be good enough to take pictures of runway models or Hockey Games where they catch the puck passing the goalie or weddings as an example. I hope what I wrote was clear.
