Again, go to my website or friend me on facebook to see the complete album of our adventure

Apologies

Hello All,

I'm sorry its been so long in updating!  I have been away at school and have been busy with school work, and all that.   Another thing thats been consuming time is my new job as a photographer for Siena College.  I am a work study for the communications department and Sergio, my boss has been sending me on numerous photoshoots.  I've done school events such as plays, concerts, speeches and the basketball games.  For those of you who don't follow college basketball, Siena is up there and had made it to the tournament last year so our games get pretty big publicity in the area.  I have a press pass and have access to a spot on the floor and get to take shots and hang with the media, which is really cool.  I've been assigned to take more shots of student sections and got some great shots.  I won't post anything i've been shooting recently because there is just too much, i've taken over 700 photographs.

I've also been told that my photographs have landed a spot in the college news magazine that circulates to homes around the area, alumni, students, faculties and their families all across the country, which is pretty awesome.  

Oh yea! I'm getting a new lens for christmas too.  Canon 28-135 mm, f 3.5-5.6.  Very excited.  I will be upgrading to a new bag also because I have too much equipment.  

Now that I am home for the winter, please look out for updates on my deviant art and here because I will be concentrating on more artistic shoots, instead of the commercial shoots I've been sent on.  That is it for all.  Enjoy.

Montauk!

So on Saturday, David and I took our adventure out east to Montauk.  It was a great way to end the summer since i leave for school tomorrow.  Out in Montauk we rode bikes (with my new bike david built me!) to Gossman's dock, bought skim boards and hit up the beach with the surfers where I learned to skimboard.  It was fun but im definitely sooo sore and fell alot.  After the beach we got some eats and went to an art show.  I definitely think i will start investing in a printer so I can enlarge my photos and put them on canvas.  I got some great ideas from that art show!  After that we headed over the montauk point and adventured behind the light house and wrote our names in the infamous log : ) hahaha. Anyways, here are some photos from the adventure.  I really had the best time.  

ps im frustrated with blogger ...do you know how long it took for me to write this entry??.. they arent letting me upload my edited photography.... so please check out my deviantart for the edited stuff! thanks!

Updates! Updates! News! News!

IM A FINALIST!

That photography contest I had entered back like a month ago contacted me back!  Newsday (long island paper) let me know my photo was selected as a finalist and will be in this saturdays paper!  I'm so happy it got chosen, but more-so, allowed in.  I had recently changed emails so while they were contacting me about my photo, stupid me wasn't checking my old email!! So! i discovered this in time/little late luckily and I had called the lady to give in my information.  She asked me questions like: are you a professional, what's your age, where do you live, tell me about the photo.  In case you were wondering, the photo that was selected was "Lovers" (refer to beach photography or my deviant art). Thank god she got in touch with the editor to let her know that i was still existent because now it will be in the paper and I am still a valid finalist! YAYAY.

Here are answers to those questions when she interviewed me, along with the photo: 

1. Yes, I consider myself a photographer. I have been shooting for 5 years now. I am a freelance/independent shooter. Professionally though, I don't consider myself that. 

2. My full name is Lisa Heimerle. 

3. I am currently 19 years old. 

4. I live in Smithtown. 

5. I titled this photo "Lovers". It was shot at Short Beach in Smithtown where the rock is off the coast and into the waters of the Long Island Sound. I love this photo because it evokes the powerful emotion of love and dependance. I love that fact that they are cut off from the main land and society. I think this photo goes to show that these people (as well as others) are better off by themselves, without the influence of others. On the other hand, all they need is each other, a good friend, a lover. They are lonely yet connected and its the irony, which really gets me. I decided to to this photograph because it caught my eye. When I see something that makes me think a little more about what is going on, I try to translate that through my camera and into a photo. I do not know who these people are, but I do know that they were good friends/lovers, having a good time. Further, I think the black and white gives it a little something extra.

______________

Anyways, I went out on a photoshoot.  Nothing to extreme, just revisited Long Beach around the time was the sun was setting.  I absolutely love what wonders the sun can do with lighting and all that.  Here are a select few.  Nothing to intense, just some light work and silhouettes exercises.  Model: Jnet.

okies okies, i'll keep you updated! I'm sorry its been such a long gap in between.  I've been away from the computer.

Painting

So today my painting fell off the wall and I finally got to take it out of the frame that was hanging in the dining room.  The humidity is so bad here that the frame just fell!  Well anyways, this is a painting i did a few years back.  It was an assignment in studio art.  If you can recall, i had a flower photo i took.  It was my first artistic photograph.  When my instructor told the class we had to paint a picture we liked (from a magazine, or anything else), i chose my own.  

Here's the photograph: 

And here's the painting:

close up: 

 

The image i sketched on to the canvas was cropped/zoomed from the original photography, obviously. It's an 18x14' painting.  The base was done with a water base just to get the main color background.  Then after, I began painting in acrylic on top, which is what you see here.  I sketched the original photograph by dividing the photograph in fours.  I also divided the canvas into four sections and took each section at a time.  The hardest part i had with this painting was the shadow you see in the center of the flower that is cast by one of the petals.  Painting a shadow is hard!  Originally, I set out by using black for the shadow and i planned on toning it down with other color to gray.  No. But that wasn't right.  I have to say my instructor helped me out a little by direction.  She told me to go about painting the flower like it was and then use a watered down milky yellow on top.  There is probably 59 different layers under the shadow portion of the painting haha. 

I must say I enjoy painting and wish i had more time for it.  It's fun transferring my own photography into a painting form.  There are many altercations you can make and create from your own work and its fun to experiment.  

okies okies enjoy : )

Venice Beach, California... some old photos

I don't really like these so much... my good edited ones got deleted when i decided to restore my whole mac bc im stupid ! hahaha

These are from last year, last summer when i went out west with my family...unfortunately these were taken with my olympus camera.  Not the rebel.  : \ w/e most of my early stuff was shot with that camera.  Again, not my favouite photos but this grafitti park was amazing.  Such a great place.

So this summer so far has been alright, work sucks.  I might be getting another job.  This economy sucks right now and its impossible to do anything.  But ill tell you that the beach is good clean fun.   I dont no if it so much clean though.  Me and david walked to the end of robert moses field five to fire island.   On the way we walked past a nude beach.  COMPLETELY comfortable.  

Not at all.  It was probably the most awk we've ever felt.  And i know its safe to talk for david on this one.  hahaha especially with all naked old gay guys.  bahahahahah

But none the less we had fun and made the best of it... can you tell?

Show

Me and david went to the Trophy Scars welcome back show at school of rock in south hackensack nj.   I had a lotta fun! love love love shows.  I was kinda disappointed with trophy scars' new stuff though.  Its kinda jazzy ish and def not approapriate to play at shows bc they lost momentum in their set.  

Anyways.  two bands i liked.  Red Light Green Light and Lady Radiator.  Check them out becuase they put on a great show!

okeisokies short entry i know but yea.. heres some photos of Red Light Green Light
