The Rogue Magnolia

In my dream world, I would be an amazing photographer. I can take a decent photograph but that’s about it. Besides, there are too many talented individuals already out there! Like Candace, or should I say The Rogue Magnolia. I thought I would share a few of her recent photos that I love since I’m getting dinner with this talented lady tonight!

You can visit her blog, connect on Facebook, or follow her on Twitter. Hire her. She’ll make you look beautiful.

Photo Set

I shot an entire roll of film on my Canon EOS Rebel X and then developed them last Sunday. These were some of my favorites, edited in Photoshop. Click on them to view the originals on Flickr. What is your opinion? Edited photos or the original? I’m partial to both.

Columbus Has a Beach?

…not really. But it sure does know how to produce the sunshine! And pretty clouds. Happy Saturday.

614forHaiti.org

My husband started 614forHaiti after the devastating earthquake hit Haiti on January 12, 2010. An excerpt from the website (designed by Scott Baker):

614forHAITI is a group of renegades across Columbus, Ohio who are ready and willing to instigate love for Haiti. This grassroots effort is fueled by individuals working to stir up funds, awareness and compassion in relief efforts following earthquakes of January 2010.

We sponsor a boy named Osley in Haiti and Compassion called us last week to inform us that he and his family have survived the earthquakes. Their home experienced some damage. Overall it’s been great finding ways to support the efforts around Columbus. We attended and participated in a silent auction at Surly Girl Saloon, initiated a tent drive last week, and helped spread the word about other local fundraisers. I think we’ve learned how difficult it is to keep momentum and awareness about specific issues when there are so many others to become involved in. I’m so thankful that we all have our own interests, passions, and talents.

To donate, visit aHomeinHaiti.org. They are raising money and collecting tents for those in Haiti. The rainy season is now and they need shelter.

Photo Adventure

I think deep down, I would love to be a professional photographer. I took these for a friend in Columbus (German Village). It was a beautiful day and my subject was especially gorgeous!

Flash Portfolio Site

I’m currently developing my Flash portfolio website with plans to launch it in May. The image is my layout/ideas so far. It’s layout is very comparable to my current portfolio site [www.alliejocson.com] with a little more personality. I feel that if I continue with this idea, I will be able to take my art in many different ways. The image I used is someone else’s (bad blogging manners but I don’t have the reference link) but I want the image to incorporate Columbus, Ohio where I’ll be living. I loved the colors of the photograph.
