I hate the world sometimes .. seriously this fucking douchebag pisses me off.. I'm sorry he couldn't make friends and get a girlfriend or anything but that's seriously no excuse to do what he did. I haven't had the best luck with women but you don't see me stabbing every single one i come across (heh that would probably not make me the best photographer to work with tongue )

anyway on and on.....
It's theme week on SG! First two days have been Rigel, and Lavonne, who are both on my 'faves' list so you won't see me bitching. I'm interested in seeing what else they think is 'reinventing the photoset'. I wish they gave like a staff critique on them, to me that aspect is interesting... although I don't know how many member care and just want to see bewbs.

Good news is coming soon you'll have to wait to see what it is!

Doxie is coming to california, and we have a shoot scheduled! The idea is pretty neat, and could be cool if pulled of well... at least that's what I'm hoping!

I need to figure an extremely kickass idea for Zippo.... there's traces of what could be good ideas but nothing extremely solid yet. More importantly getting her from TX to CA.

So i'm going to do like a 'Wednesday Darryl's set of the week' in where I talk about a certain favorite set of mine, give it my persona critique and why i 'loved it' so I may as well get started now...


Rigel - Vs Aliens

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

Shot by Cherry.

This set came out like the week I signed up for SG. I was still kinda familiarizing myself with the site, the photographers and figuring out which girls were popular what they did etc. I knew about Rigel from some stuff I saw through Cymagen's work but didn't know she was staff here. At any rate she was an instant fave and this set helped cement it. Also I knew of Cherry before signing up for the site because of the Italian Villa DVD, but I wasn't extremely familiar with her work.. boy had I been missing out. She's quickly become one of my favorite photographers.

So this set combines everything I like in a photoshoot. Great lighting, a solid concept/theme that doesn't detract from the overall idea of what Suicide Girls is about. Concept shoots like this have always attracted me the most when it comes to shooting. My editorial work always tries to combine some sorta narrative, sometimes it works sometimes its kinda sketchy. I've always had an issue with coming up with a 'set' for them that narrates them with natural progression of images. I always just tend to throw out the rest of them and keep like 3 of the best from the shoot and. Anyway this set represents what I'm also not very good at...

First thing that most people might not notice off the bat is that its cropped with a wider aspect ratio, and its shot in all landscape style mode which I personally defer to a lot. This gives the set more of a movie-esque feel which I also love in photoshoots. I think part of the problem I have with shooting in portrait mode is that i'm more influenced by movies than photographs as far as visual style is defined. So to find a set like this the combines both photography and cinema is what really speaks to me. Also the colors of this set are amazing, especially the few with her red underwear, i may have to actually check out those cherry tutorials in the editing group at some point. Anyway i fuckin love this set.... all around... favorite model favorite photographer great theme... and i love the alien towards the end



anyway if that was interesting to anyone I'll do one a week... wednesday, at least thats my proposed plan for now...

EdIT : GO SEE Dwam & Nemesis's new set Funny Games if you're familiar with the movie already i'll give you a cookie

wooo what a whirlwind weekend... Comiccon was a blast and unfortunately i was there for a waay to short of time, but y'know obligations with other party members calls... I swear I only saw about 60% of the floor and didn't make it to any panels =( =( =(

I did however take a lot of pictures over the course of the few days I was in So-cal.



Sash and Zoli were the first SGs that we 'met' and Sash seemed kind of hurt when we immediately asked where the other SG booth was... where.....



Jaylin, Bob, and Saint the Yay area girls were at.

Those star trek getups they had stopped just seconds from the butt.. hehe.. so cute.

anyway other highlights can be seen right HURR

The trip also included a stay with Mar and I once again experimented with only tungsten lamps... and shot it somewhat unsuccessfully... the crappy strobe kit i brought always blows fuses, even with regular useage. The first lamp blew and the 2nd one blew shortly after.... which is why I really have grown to love my Alien Bee lamp... its just so damn good... and i hate having to keep replacing the damn fuses!
anyway heres a few.

I <3 Manders... seriously this girl is one of my favorite models to work with... I just hate that we never ever seem to be able to sync up properly. I think there should be a cool place inbetween here and SF/Oakland area where everyone lived as a compromise. Note I did say cool place so... unless fremont has suddenly become cool...

ANYWAY.. this was an idea I thought of while doing my Fairy Tale project... I'm kind of over that project at the moment, but had this idea about Rapunzel... so this is kind of what I came up with... based on the concept of people who eat their own hair, Rapunzel Syndrome. This was just kind of a last minute idea without much planning. I'm not sure if I like it.



anyway.. once we figured out that concept wasn't working with the amount of hair extensions we had and setting we opted to shoot on her roof... and I LOVE how these pictures came out... theres no doubt I'm glad i blew 900 bucks on lighting equipment earlier this year



click to see more... I tried a few different Post processing techniques



ALSO dont forget to love this.. please? You can't say NO to a face like that.. seriously...

Picture heavy blog below

Friday was my first gallery showing in downtown San Jose! It was rather exciting and a lot of people who I know showed up including Saint. It was great because I ended up selling 2 pieces out of 8, (if only i knew that the gallery took a 40% cut.. ouch.. i would have priced it a little higher) and I honestly didn't think I would sell any at all. My friend who helped put on the show asked me to replenish my business cards because a bunch of people picked em up which could potentially mean more business.

nalgasdlemur: Which I don't really get the appeal of, but there are people out there who think it's a good time.
nalgasdlemur: It's all related in some way, from the crush stuff to the just wanting to be stepped on stuff.
nalgasdlemur: There's all sorts of weird stuff out there if you read studies on human sexuality. Heh.
nalgasdlemur: Not surprisingly, a decent amount of studies like that come out of SF.
nalgasdlemur: Because there are a few different human sexuality/sexology programs at places in the city.
nalgasdlemur: See, you could go work at one of those places and combine your PSFB photography and your behavioral studies stuff from school. Heh.
DarryL Darko: heh
nalgasdlemur: And do some kind of research or educational project on SGs or something.
DarryL Darko: heh so thats how i'll use my college degree
DarryL Darko: and my photography
nalgasdlemur: The historical significance and development of PSFB, or maybe a cross-cultural comparison of modern PSFB.
nalgasdlemur: That would be awesome if you could get a Master's in something like that and do your dissertation on PSFB, and then you could get a diploma that says you have a MA in PSFB.
nalgasdlemur: And your dad would be so proud.
