Alright, so last week our Environmental Portrait was due. We had about a month to do it, and yet I am still handing it in late. How does this happen!? Well, I started the same we the assignment was delivered. The first attempt, I was on my way to the location of the shoot (which was a quary in wakefield) and I got into an accident. Being overwhelmed by this I decided that the shoot probably wouldn't have turned out well, so I decided to try it again a few days later. The second attempt was two days later.. and we got lost. I completely lost the sun and couldn't shoot. That was my fault for not knowing where I was going in the first place. I was beginning to think that this photo shoot just wasn't meant to happen. The third attempt I decided to do the shoot a lot closer, the Ottawa River. Of course the day that I pick (or the whole week i should say) the weather was just not on my side. We got there and took a couple of shots, if was FREEZING and started to poor rain, so we have to pack up. The week after that I had in bed mostly because I had to get my wisdom teeth out. Finally last week I did the shoot in a friends back yard by the pool. I got some great shots... but because we lost a lot of light the images are a bit soft (its hard to focus in the dark).
