Buck-

There was a guy that graduated from AIB named Este Aladro.. I don't know if you've already looked at his work but he did a lot of portraits having to do with occupations.. his website is estephotography.com

Instead of using the macro lens to abstract objects you can use colors, shadows, and textures. If it is something you are going to stick with i would experiment with the way light hits different fabrics with wrinkles or folds or just any light/shadow casts. 

Julia-

I really enjoyed this weeks photos. I think talking with her and letting her open up was a really great idea.. She looked more comfortable in front of the camera. I can definitely tell you have been following everyones advice and I'm really excited about your project.

Kyle-

Again I really liked the improvement I saw in your work this week! The way you used the shadow of the railing on the wall with photographs really helped display the tension. I know we said it in class but just to reiterate- rephotographing existing portraits of you and your brother experimenting with different lighting/shadows will work better than scanning the images in.. If you want to experiment with the scanned images it would be worth trying the diptychs that Laz was suggesting.

Everyone else if I think of something to say I will but that's all that's on my mind right now.
