Three Grads 3

Sharpie
Myrna
Myrna was kind of a special shoot. The yearbook staff had a habit of getting caught in the rain. It was raining pretty hard with Myrna. My hands were cold, but I didn’t care. It was such a cool experience. I felt like the team did one of the best jobs of capturing personalty with her. She is a melancholy young lady who loves poetry. She was also a ton of fun and thought it would be cool to shoot in the grave-yard. Honestly, I thought it was a bad idea.
I protested. “It’s not only weird, no one does that, it’s also meaningless, and blatantly morbid.”
It was perfect. The rain, the book, the umbrella, the flowers, Myrna’s friends with their smile-provoking presence and loads of amazing ideas, it couldn’t have been better.
Jules
Hilda and i were discussing what it would actually be like to have 4 sharpies around. :O Super alarming! Scary days
Love that pic btw
Did you clone stamp or overlay layers or what?
The latter. I just open all four in photoshop and stacked them, then cut holes in the right places so all the Sharpies would show through, then I flattened the resulting image.
the 3 & 4th (great job on that one, btw!) of Sharpie, 1st (cool door) & 2nd (I love graveyards) of Myrna , and last one of Jules.
I love all of them but especially like #2 of Sharpie, #1 of Myrna, and #3 of Jules. Their really cool!
I like the way the faces and personalities come out on Sharpie #2, Myrna #1, and Jules #3. Wasn’t that shoot with Myrna fun - rain, graveyard and all?
The graveyard shots are great!
