First post grad shoot coming up!

Bought some props today, just checked UPS tracking and my lighting kit is only 30 minuets away from my house in Parsippany so hopefully will be here tomorrow morning *fingers crossed* , and I got my props ready! Here's a picture of the cassettes ready to goalso, check out this video http://vimeo.com/12353796 , it makes me want to be a hair stylist!

the graduated life should be a tv show title...

I have found myself saying "so this is life after college" a lot lately (and I know I'm not the only one, thank you twitter...). Still no job for me, but desperately looking, really thought I had this one retouching job in the bag but I didn't. Also, I hate to admit this... I have barely taken any photos since graduation, and this needs to change, ASAP! My lighting kit will be arriving FRIDAY if all goes well and that is the day I will be back up and running, the day that I make some beautiful art ... after I go prop shopping first. I have so many ideas in my head... and in a notebook... I have to shoot them!
I found the image above online, and I really think I need to shoot a dead fish. Whenever i see images of dead fish, I feel inspired! I can't explain it, I know its just a dead fish, but I see the scales, the color... I see something that is gross that I might be able to make look beautiful and appetizing. I'm thinking about shooting it on a light blue background (to mimic water), but I'm not positive on the type of fish I'd like, I could do a nice halibut, or perhaps mahimahi!

Also, my website WWW.JESSDAVISPHOTO.COM will be updated soon, keep checking it out!!
