After being frustrated with Ballet Tiffany I took off my pointe shoes and tights and put on some dance shorts and just started being Modern Tiffany. It was so fun! I felt free and in control and happy. Looking at the modern poses I was like “Yes! Yes! Oh snap! Sweet!” I love ballet, it is a deep passion within me and I think it is the most beautiful and moving thing to watch. But modern dance brings out a different side that I just can’t explain in words.
After the photoshoot I went out with Heather, Aaron, and Chris and ate some serious all you can eat sushi for $13.95. We shared about ten rolls. I had a little photoshoot of my own with these beauties.
They put sesame chicken INSIDE the roll. Awesome!
Whatever it was, it was deep fried. All of it.
And here are some photos that I took with the wrong setting. Whatever.

All Done!
Do you like having your picture taken? Are you disappointed when you see pictures of yourself or are you pleasantly surprised?

You and Chris are soooo fun! I wish I was closer just so I could bask in your spirit of adventure, your fearlessness in life, and your love of so much that is good! XXX0X
being a photographer, i am often on one side of the lens, and often not on the other.
with that said, i always feel so WEIRD in front of the lens. my friend and i recently went out shooting for fun, and i dont think i looked at her while she had her camera ONCE.
everyone, everyone always has issues with themselves in photos. we're our own worst critic. plus, i do think that our own mental image our ourselves is very much different than what other people see when they look at us. it's all perception.
with THAT said, often, i have had images that i LOVE and i think they're fabulous photographically, but the people in the photograph might go.. "oh... i don't like that angle of my face" and i'm like.. REALLY?! do you see how fabulously framed, exposed, and the emotion of this image?! sigh. it happens alot. my favorite images aren't always the clients.
it happens to everyone though. :)
Thanks, Dad!
Susan- I love your insight and it all makes perfect sense. I would love for you to do our "family portraits" one day or do a dancing shoot with me. I can't say how much I love every single one of your photographs. Hmm... maybe I'll blog about you!
that would be so awesome!! i would love to do a shoot someday with you (i really have been wanting to do more dance photography.. hmm maybe soon? ;), and would be so honored to be featured! ;)
