My Fall 2005 semester was great, as has been previously mentioned. And, also previously mentioned was a promise to provide some semester Secret Project updates. Here’s another.

Once my camera returned from being repaired (frankly, I would have enjoyed a good funeral, so I could have delighted myself with the birth of a newer Canon ::sigh::), I got to work with a friend. Bernard is a musician, and is releasing an album this spring. He writes/performs [fantastic] electronic music and asked me to take some photos for his international promotional release. Suuuure.

This is another reason I wish my old camera had truly died. I felt like my digi-cam resources were just feeble attempts at satiating a true artist. But still, all the same, I took a few hundred experimental shots so we could decide on what locations would be best for the shoot. The Virginia Tech campus offers near-endless lighting opportunities and a variety of harsh, luminescent, and savory glares and beams. So, one evening, in a bitter wind, we walked around campus, in and out of academic buildings, and took a lot of pictures - Bernard, of course, providing his deceptively indifferent looks while I fumbled about with my gloves to try and take photos like a base amateur.

Again, I really wish I had a higher resolution camera to use for this, but I believe the results turned out well. Bernard’s musical efforts for this album are amazing and I wish that my photographic hand was as impressive.

Could you imagine… There is actually more to reveal?!
