The Biocommunications students have a pharmaceutical shoot due this week. We have to turn in two images showing different moods or views with the two different pictures. I tried to stick with one medicine, and chose Valerian Root. Valerian Root has been used for the treatment of sleep disorders, as well as anxiety.
I decided to portray the natural aspect, as well as the calming aspect, while showing one of the ways that Valerian Root can be taken (as tea).
For fun, I also took a closeup shot of the tea itself.
This is me doing an earlier shot of the same setup. Thanks to Lindsay Hutchinson for the setup shot!
This is a panoramic I took when Michael and I had just entered the Colorado state line. A massive, beautiful storm was there to greet us. We pulled off on an exit in a rural area and I took this panoramic while hanging out of the sunroof on the side of the road. It was by far the best trip and as a whole, one of the best experiences of my life. 
I am very excited to have a new portrait of myself! Thanks to fellow classmate, Ian Briscoe, for helping me out with it! We used 2 lights, one with a big reflector on it to light the background, and one with a large softbox on a small lightstand to light me.
This past week my friend Michael and I took a day trip to Hanging Rock with the dogs. He worked on a practice panoramic, and I took some photos just for fun. This was one of the shots I took from a tiny crawl space on one of the ledges. The trip was fun and relaxing, with school in full swing, sometimes it is good to get away and shoot just for the joy of it.
