Blog Awards!

So I checked my email today and learned that my blog is being featured in some sort of blog awards!  I feel like Julie Powell, except that I don't cook at all.  But yes!  I'm apparently a winner!

Look for my link in their list:

J. Michael Polisano

Mike and I had a wonderful day shooting in the park.  Finally, some more testosterone in my portfolio!  We decided to just have fun and take some serious AND fun photos so we could get a wide variety of interesting shots.  I recently acquired Photoshop, so I took this opportunity to play with different coloring as well as black and white photos and I LOVE the way these came out.  Much love and thanks to J. Mike! From January 27th, 2010.

My new website!

I just wanted to announce the launch of my new website!  It was created by a good friend of mine, Tim Xu [www.timxu.com], and I'm super excited about it!  He did a really amazing job, so definitely check it out!

CORIRYANPHOTOGRAPHY.COM

I'll be keeping my photo blog, but the entries will be more personal entries about the shoots, new things I've learned, my growth and development as a photographer, and stuff like that.  My blog will be available to read here as well as on my website (there Tim put it in a much prettier format), so you can keep up to date with me wherever you want!

Camilo Brun

I recently had the opportunity to shoot with an old friend who needed some photos for his school newspaper.  Keep an eye out for him, he's being featured for his beautiful poetry!  We had a lot of fun shooting, and I was thrilled to learn it was his first time ever in Central Park, so we had to take some tourist photos as well.  From January 13th, 2010.

The Headscarf Series

This series is still a work in progress.  It's inspired by a shoot I saw on America's Next Top Model, and Tyra Banks posted on her website that fans can recreate the shoot and submit their photos, and she will post the best ones on the site.  I began this shoot for that purpose, but am so happy with the way the photos came out that I would like to continue adding to this series.  If anyone is interested in being involved, it's a free shoot!
