I'm preparing to head out from West Virginia. I move to Washington, D.C. in just over two days.
It's been a good experience, all together. Excellent, in fact. One of the downsides of being a penniless student, unfortunately, is not being able to afford much film for my camera and certainly not being able to afford to upgrade to a good digital back for my SLR lenses. But I do have a little 640x480 digital camera in my phone. I feel like all I've got is a Poloroid. You see, up until they all started going digital, professional photogs would set up a shot and use a poloriod to make srue the lighting and subject all worked, then break out the expensive, high-quality film. So I have all these little shots that, if I had had a real camera, I could have turned into some excellent portraits. It's like being stuck with Carvaggio's sketchbook but none of the final works. (Not that I have a big ego, comparing myself to Carvaggio. We just share an interest in similar subject matter.)
Anyway, here's a few of the shots that almost became something really awesome:
