two of my big loves are fashion photography and music videos. i don’t even care when people say terrible things about the fashion photography biz or mtv… they are wrong. fashion photography is beautiful and music videos have had my heart since i saw Sade’s No Ordinary Love and wanted to be a mermaid foreva. i watch that video in its entirety at least four times a year. my other confession is that from the age of 9 to 12 i would stay up till daybreak watching fashion trance on the weekends. (if you’ve never seen it, you’ve clearly missed out)
today i fell upon these beautiful videos while surfing the web and also a list of the top 1o fashion films of the season. the video below is on there. AMAZING. it’s also amazing why more fashion photographers haven’t explored video. i’ve blogged about video before, it’s just so beautiful… whilst i was in journalism school all the talk was about how video is the new photo… blah, blah, blah. i don’t for one bit believe that video can ever replace photo but i DO DEFINITELY believe that photographers can harness the power of video and make shit amazing! like beautiful, mind blowing, art. if you are a great photographer, you have a great eye, why not try video? give it a whirl! i suppose everyone really is behind on the video wave, guy bourdin’s videos were listed in the top 10 of 2009…. hello, those videos were not made in 2009.
what i definitely DO NOT like is that all the cool fashion video work is coming from the Nick Knight/ SHOWstudio part of the world. WTF? are there really no other fashion photographers that have realized video is a really beautfiful element to add to their work? i get it, those guys are wildly intelligent and into beautiful things, but to everyone else: step the fuck up! i’m right on it…
props to kathryn ferguson for really bringing it on video #1. one of her blog posts is titled “experiments with crystals”. girl is cool. this film is tite! last two videos are nick knight, cause i just couldn’t resist posting them…
ta-da! told ya, it was big news!

I am honored to announce my acceptance to Elizabeth Messina’s a lovely workshop. Elizabeth is THE most fantastic wedding photographer working today. Her photos capture the wedding spirit perfectly. I found her site a year ago and completely fell in love with her work… she shoots all film. Out of all the photographers in the WORLD, I would definitely pick her to shoot my wedding.
When she announced her workshop, I nearly lost it. I sent the application in the same day. Not only is this going to be a wonderfully organized week long workshop with all sorts of amazing artists from the wedding industry but… it is in Paris. There are tons of workshop going round the photo industry, but when I chose this workshop I had to decide what I really wanted to learn and who the best person would be to teach it. Easy decision. Southern California is the epitome of the wedding industry to me and I don’t really understand why the same value isn’t given to the Austin wedding industry. Maybe it is a different standard, wealth, I don’t know. We have great weather, beautiful people, and lakes. I don’t know but I am very very very excited.

Out with the old, in with the new. My old site was made with frames and they be drivin’ me crazaay. I learned a silly programmers trick to make my site exactly like it would look with frames but without frames. Get it? The last time I sat still for 14 hours was when I tried to pass this level in DK Country…
DKCGamerGirl ain’t got nothin on me.
