day 29/365

some days just have awesome light. there are lots of days where you’d think you would have good light, but it’s just kind of flat. then there are other days where the forecast is the same but the light is somehow much better. today was one of those days. and since i didn’t have any shoots today, i decided to use the light to my advantage and take what is known as the stereotypical project 365 headshot-style self-portrait. :) one of these usually ends up in a 365 photo blog at least once…mainly due to awesome light, no shoots that day, and a lack of motivation to move outside your house at the moment.

so a 365 photo blog can be photographs of anything. however, there are lots of photographers that do 365 blogs exclusively on self-portraits. that’s a picture of yourself every day for 365 days. let me say that i have seen some of the most creative stuff from these photogs…because geez, that’s a lot of pictures of yourself. i don’t think i’d particularly want people to see me everyday since i basically spend my time sitting around in my where the wild things are pajamas when i’m not out in public.  :)

in other news, going to the designers downtown market on saturday with my friend kate and shooting a lot there. should have some good stuff this weekend. hopefully the weather holds out.

FACEBOOKED.

well dees and gents, carolyn scott photography has finally come into the age of the internet.

after having a personal facebook account that i deleted, added, re-deleted, re-added, and re-deleted several times (much to the annoyance of my friends), it was deleted for the final time several months ago. however! i do totally wish to keep in touch with friends and clients via facebook…and a carolyn scott photography fan page is a little more professional than a random personal account baring photographs of myself in unfortunate high school clothing choices and one or two pictures dressed as a zombie.

so fan us! friend us! message us! spread the word of carolyn scott photography. :)

day 28/365

it has been absolutely gorgeous for the past two days and i’ve been soaking up all the sun. :) went for an extensive walk around part of the north carolina museum of art trail and thoroughly enjoyed myself. took my photography bag with me and hit the road for the better part of the afternoon. i can’t wait for all of the shoots and weddings coming up in the spring and summer because being outside with my camera is one of my favorite things. being cooped up inside just doesn’t cut it despite the fact that my own wedding is all indoors. :) way too chicken in late october to depend on the weather. :)

also, have a fantastically wonderful and happy birthday my dear geoff. :) <3
