pour a little puddle of the glue on a piece of paper then let it dry, you can form it into a ball and then use it to clean up the excess glue after it has dried.

Hi All,
On this Wednesday night, 6pm (April 10) at Charleston Campus, room E-111, I'll be hosting pro sports photographer Will Navarro. Will just came off a great season with the LA Rams and a run for the Super Bowl and also shoots the LA Clippers of the NBA, events like the Oscars, and more. Should be a very informative evening for anyone interested in sports and event photography.
If you and any of your students would like to attend, just have them show up at 6pm.
Best.

]]>Welcome to a new semester. At the start of this new school year we all have goals, hopes, and dreams for our futures (me too). The only way to make it happen is to MAKE it happen! How do you do that? Life creeps in, the kids have ball practice, the car broke down, oh I'm dating this new...
I keep a Bullet Journal. More than one page is dedicated to my goals. I start with the weekly to do lists. This is updated with what needs to get done, school, work, kids, dogs, some fun (yes fun needs to happen in life)
Then I think out a month. What do I want to accomplish towards my bigger goals. That then gets scheduled in with my weekly to dos.
Then I think out the semester. What do I want to accomplish it this 16 weeks.
6 month goal, 1 year goal. Write it down, look at it daily. Are you moving towards your goals? If no, get moving!
The goals will get updated and change, that is a good thing, If you are working towards something, and it changes that is because it needs a new direction. Maybe you learned through your exploration it is not what you want to do. There are bumps in the road, you succeed, you fail, but keep working and you will succeed.
My goals are broken down into, home, work, travel.
What are your dreams? Make them a goal! Then they will be your reality!
Next, go make some photographs!

]]>Thought I would start the semester off with why a proper email is important.
You are a professional and you want to communicate as a professional.
•Start with a proper greeting
•Include a clear subject line, including the class you are taking.
•If you have many questions break them out in the email so none are missed. 1, 2, 3 etc.
•Be clear and concise in what you are asking. Reference the assignment, written handout or video. Your professors have many classes and many students.
•No text speak. Yes, write out your words.
•Include your name at the end of the email.
Thank you in advance for being thoughtful and clear. Have a great semester.
-Heather Protz, your professor.

]]>Darker scenes blend better many times. Lighter scenes you may blow out areas of information. This can work also, depending on what you want to say with your images. What do you want to say? Try shooting the darker scene and then the second exposure a lighter scene. Of course experiment. Light, light: Dark, dark: Light, dark: Keep a journal entry of what works so you can recreate your successes.
Here are some double exposure apps for your smart phone.
•Fused
•Pic Blender Double Exposure
•Hipstamatic, (a favorite app of mine)
•ImageBlender
•Little Photo
•Adobe Photoshop Mix app
•Lets add to this list and share some examples of what we are creating.
Some of your DSLR’s and micro 4/3rds cameras have double exposure/multi exposure capabilities. Explore your manual for the information on what your camera is capable of doing.
Here is a list of cameras that have double exposure/multi exposure capability:
http://www.neocamera.com/search_camera.php?multipleexposure=1
I have been exploring double exposures using the Fuji Instax Mini90. An Instant film camera and then scanning the prints to share online and to print larger. I have to say there is something nice about those little prints. I have also been adding the date on the back of the prints, I thought I would miss that piece of metadata later in the year.
You can create a double exposure effect using your editing skills after the shoot. You can do this in Photoshop and many apps for your smart phone.
Explore and have fun!!!

Lawrence M. Small
Brooke Shaden is a fine art composite artist. She has a gift for seeing light and shadow. She operates a blog where she shares her art, process, and ideas. She is very open about the way she works and is willing to share. Despite her bright personality, her work tends to be dark. She promotes the idea that you do not need elaborate props to create art. She likes to bargain shop and also use simple materials to create dresses for herself and her models. She often uses different shots using motion to piece together the final outfit. Most often she shoots with a tripod, with herself as the subject. She also likes to use vertical panorama shots to create her backgrounds.
-Jennifer Thoreson http://jenniferhudsonfineart.com/
Jennifer Thoreson is a fine art portrait photographer and fine art composite artist. Jennifer photographs her objects with the lighting situation of her scene in mind. She will shoot hundreds of objects to piece together in the final series. Her medic series uses objects from World War 2 Technology. The set she constructed in a studio, specifically for that series. Jennifer has a way of building her models into the pose she is looking for. She does not say no, but simply moves to another poses. She progressively stretches her models into more challenging positions. She likes to photograph her subject in natural diffused light. She uses a white pop up gazebo and hangs canvas at the back.
Joel Grimes http://joelgrimes.com/Artist.asp?ArtistID=12191&Akey=P7FJP8B4
Joel Grimes is a Commercial portrait photographer. Joel’s images a crisp and sharp. His subjects are typically shot in studio using a 2 to 3 light set-up. He uses 2 strip lights with grids fore edge light and a soft box over head for fill. He then travels and shoots backdrops and later masterfully combines them in Photoshop.
Human Descent http://www.humandescent.com/
This Photoshop artist simply goes by the name Martin. He combines the faces and bodies of various animals. The results are whimsical and at times frightening. He is remarkably adept at seamlessly matching and blending animals together.
Jerry Uelsmann www.uelsmann.com
Jerry Uelsmann may well be considered the father of composite photography. Before the days of Photoshop, Uelsmann used darkroom techniques to blend images together. It is hard to imagine creating such amazing works without the benefit of a computer.
Maggie Taylor http://www.maggietaylor.com/
Maggie Taylor is an early pioneer of Composite Photographic fine art. She creates surreal, painterly pictures that hardly look like photographs.

Textures: for me, textures are the most import part to the finishing touches of my images. I use Jessica Drossin’s texture packs for most of my images, you can make your own as well. Just drag the texture layer on top of your image and change the blending mode to Multiply, Soft light. Overlay or Screen. You can change the opacity to your desired strength and use the brush tool to remove the layer off skin tones if you wish. If I am doing a series, I always use the same texture for each image.
When I am in the process of designing one of my images, I only use my own images (except the textures) and blend them together using the blending mode. I never know what is going to look good together. I do love to add birds to all my composites, but not all the time.
Tutorials: Phlearn and Joel Grimes on Youtube. I also get lots of free education from Creative Live.
Favorite keyboard short cut for Photoshop: moving through the blending modes. Select the move tool hold the shift key and click the plus or minus key.
