Ang Marie Studio: Mixed Emotions and Timp Harley Photos

So, truthfully, the idea of moving to LA is kinda catching up to me and freaking me out, off and on. The idea of moving more than 600 miles away from many close friends and family (though I have family down there, so it eases the fear)... and moving somewhere where I've never lived before, with completely new people is kinda nerve-wracking. BUT I'm still excited for something other than Provo and Nampa. It'll be really fun. A good thing, though, is my professor said that it's a good thing I'm stressed because it means that I'm not naive and that I actually care. haha. And, man, I never thought it would be SOO hard to get the motivation to do econ homework. In fact, that's why I'm writing on here... procrastinating. I have a feeling I'll be doing that a lot this semester... :P

Aaand when I procrastinate, I also like to edit images, both past and present. This time, I found some old Timp Harley images I took for my location photography class at BYU. It was a really fun shoot and the employees were all really nice and cooperative. Here are some of my favorites:

The exterior. Story time: My friend/fellow photographer Kara and I went through a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to get exterior shots. First of all, you have to photograph the building at the crack of dawn, when the light in the sky isn't too bright so you can still expose it right to match the exposure of the lights in the building. Otherwise, you have to just expose for the building and drop in a sky later. Either way, a pain in the butt. The first shoot we did of the building was quite an adventure. We had to climb up a muddy hill, in which I almost lost my shoe, to the top of the hill to get a good angle. It was actually really fun, cause I like hiking. Turns out, the street did not make as good of a foreground as we thought, so we basically wasted that shoot. But we went again a few days later and got some beautiful shots (including this one). Hard work, but so much fun :)
