Wedding stuff

Since I have not heard anything back from UGA so far and I have a wedding coming up in May to shoot, I thought I would post my new price list. I am proud of it, though I feel I can continue to work on it to improve upon it. But I am proud of it none the less. Haven't done much in the realm of shooting here recently, been a bit to busy. More focused on getting my stuff together. Hope to hear from UGA soon. But I guess that is all for now. Just a small update.

Extra photos- potentials for UGA

Still Editing.

It is true, I am still working on the photos from the Southern Fried Sideshow. Here are some photos that I just finished. I love looking through and finding new photos that I did notice on my first quick look. These were misc. moments that made me smile. Not much else to say...I'm still holding out hope that I can go back to school next fall, looking kind of like a no as of right now though. Still looking for call for entries to enter some new work into shows and literary books, and suggestions, let me know. Nothing really happening as of recently, just wanted to share.

Happy shooting!

Southern Fried Sideshow

Well, welcome back friends. How is everyone? As you can see, I am back to my old favorite subject....Sideshows. I absolutely love the thrills, the chills, and just the overall atmosphere you get while attending the Southern Fried Sideshow. It comes complete with freaks, geeks, and just all around strange goodness. Ever seen someone eat fire? I have. Ever seen someone swallow a sword? Been there, seen that. Just to prove it, here are a few photos from my last visit to the Southern Fried Sideshow. It was not only amazing to be there and to see the freakery, but editing the photos brings it all rushing right back. The smell of the fire, the warmth of the performers, and the excitement of the crowd...All remembered quite vividly. Sometimes editing the photos bring more excitement and chills. For example, the last image here was quite a surprise to me. If you look closely at the flame, it resembles a dragon going into the performer's, Jay "Sinder" Becker's, mouth. Another great example would be the photo of the contact juggler, Jamie Warner, where you cannot see his face due to his arm yet if you look into his ball you can see him. Quite exciting to see something so unique in what might have been over looked as a failed photo. I hope this post and these photos will motivate more people to step out of their comfort zone and into the world of the Contemporary Sideshow. After photographing this on November 12, 2011 I have decided that this is what I want to do for the rest of my life. I cannot see myself doing anything outside of the photography world and more specifically the documentary photography world. This is where I belong and it feels so right to be doing it. Let me know what you guys think about the new photos.

~*~Happy Shooting~*~

Just another photo from Georgia and JP's wedding

Just thought this was a nice image and wanted to share. :)

Update: October 2011

Hello everyone who still reads this,

I am writing to show a few of my new photos I have worked on. It has happened, I have entered the world of wedding photography. I am assisting the Famous William Company with some weddings this season. I am learning a new style of photography and am improving on my social skills.....slowly......very slowly. This past wedding was a blast! Not only did I shoot an amazing bride and groom, but I got to do so with 2 amazing photographers that I love dearly. Ms. Emma Elaine Dobbs and Mr. William Hogan. Above are a few photos that I took before the wedding began. Two of them are of Emma and the last one is the groom's shoe. He wore the "something blue" and it was just perfect. Outside of weddings I haven't been that active with my photography. I feel my artistic energy building up, but I don't have time to do much outside of sleep, work, and watch the dog. I have decided that I am going to start looking at grad schools. I am ready to go back and get my masters so I can try to get a job as a professor. For any one who says "those who can't, teach." I don't care. I know I can make art, but as a professor I could have some job security and a constant pay with the possibility to make my art since I would be in a semi- conducive environment for art. Where I am now is redundancy. I work 5 days a week at a job that has nothing to do with my degree. I am ready to put those 6 years of college to use. UGA/SCAD/AI, look out, cause here I come!!!! Now in other news, I am trying to get some business from musicians. I sent a message to a musician that I absolutely freaking love saying that if he comes my way to let me know cause I would love to photography him. Here's hoping he heads out this way! I am trying to update and trouble shoot my website some....and doing so unsuccessfully... (thank you wix.com). Now, I believe that is all for now. I am hoping to start updating more often as I shoot more weddings and maybe some more carnies. Well, for now I will leave you with a quote from a friend of mine, Ms. Shannon Martin. "It might take logical minded people to put the lines on the Earth, but it takes artistic people like us to fill them with color."

Happy shooting,

Hayley

Summer update

It has been almost 1 month since graduation and I haven't touched my camera since. :( I have been busy with my new job and have not had a memory card for my Nikon or film for my other cameras. I have the money for a new camera and a few lenses and maybe a flash. I am planning on getting a Nikon d200. I have met some really cool people working at the mall which has given me confidence to continue doing what I love. :) But anyways, I just wanted to update in case anyone ever checks this anymore. Happy Shooting.

Boundaries and After

Ok, So here are a few photos of Arsenic and Old Lace taken on Monday night. I feel like the reception went very well. Everyone loved the food, the music, and most of all, the art. I can't believe that it is over and one with now. Time to finish the details and get my last bit of everything in order. It is surreal and kinda bittersweet. I have been waiting to graduate, but now that it is here, I'm going to miss my job and my friends. I had an interview yesterday...to work in the mall...I feel like I am taking a step backwards. I need the money, but I don't want to work in the mall again. After I got out of there 4 years ago I vowed to NEVER work there again. Well, I might have a key holding position at Earthbound Trading Company. Also, I feel like I have no drive to get anything done because I have no time. Everyone wants everything by Friday. My thesis, my internship stuff, the photos for Infinite Possibilities 2...It is a bit overwhelming. I also have to work and then go on Friday for my final interview. Too much all at once! But this seems to be the story of my life. Anyone want to help me out, just let me know. lol So I guess this is the last entry for this class...So I hope every one had a great semester and I hope everyone goes out and produces lots of new work, applies to lots of art shows, and and keeps in touch. So, Happy Shooting Everyone!

I love Art Majors and This is Why!

"Hello Ladies!"

So first off, thank you to Ferran, Andrea, Kim, and Dontez for staying after class to help me with POSE. It was a blast, and I hope yal had fun too. So while editing these I realized something, I'm going to miss being around legit art majors. I am moving come August to Athens and as mentioned in earlier posts, it feels like the people in Athens are different. They don't seem as crazy fun and they don't seem as "creative". I love that the majors here are willing to do almost anything in the name of art. The majors actually look like artists, while all of the art majors I have seen out there look like sorority and frat people and kinda act like it too. (not my scene). So this project has kinda become bitter sweet. It is a concept I love with people I love, but in the end, this is my last time doing a project with these people... Well, as I see it right now. So these pictures, though they are quite simple, actually mean a great deal to me. Thank you guys again foe participating and what not. I'm off to get them printed and posted and reactions. Happy Shooting.

Pose in Athens, GA

As mentioned in a previous entry, the Athens' Pose sessions was kind of a fail. Not many people took notice of what was going on which made the reaction shots impossible. I have plenty of photos where people are walking by the photos without any reaction to them. Which again mentioned previously, could be another part of this project. I want some feedback before I decide to or not to print any of these for the show. I am also wanting to do some reaction photos to the shoot with Kristen. Hopefully that will happen tomorrow after class. But anyways, let me know what you guys think.

Furry Friends for Finals and a Peace Rally

Hey everyone, here are some photos that I did today. Apparently, today is quite the busy day on campus. I was sent to photograph Love Not Litter's "demo" today at the UCC but when I arrived, they were no where to be found. Fortunately, I totally found the adorable dogs with Furry Friends for Finals and got some great photos of them. Towards the end of my being there I did find Love not Litter and they were making jewelry and bags at their booth. After returning to work I am informed of a Peace Rally in front of Humanities. I couldn't resist. I went only to find a few people giving free hugs and some chalk drawings. They were having people that couldn't stay around for the rally trace their hands on the concrete so that they could be there in "spirit". I got lucky and caught a student partaking in this. I also traced my hand. :) Just wanted to share some of my photos from the day with everyone. Hope you guys like them!

The Warner Brothers and the Warner Sister DOT(Photography)

Here are some photos of my older brothers and myself, Jamie (left) and Kelley (right). They are my shoulder devil and angel. These was taken at the senior show April 11. We all decided to dress nice and in the same colors (and no we didn't plan this). For those who missed the show, it was a blast. There was music, and art, and food, and of course, jugglers. For those who wonder, that was also not really planned either. Music, art, food, and sideshow performing is what happens when my family and some of our friends get together. It was like a Thursday night at the Warner home. :) Also a nice bit of information, for those wanting to know about the name of my "photography business", DOTPhotography, it is a reference to the Anamaniacs. My brothers and I grew up watching that cartoon and I was always called Dot by some family friends. But now on to more recent workings. I went to Athens this weekend to sign a lease for my new apartment and while I was there, Jacob and I went to the Athens square and worked on Pose. The reaction was less than satisfactory. It seems to me that the people that inhabit Athens are too stuck up and self-absorbed to notice anything around them. I trolled the photos for close to 2 hours and only 2 people looked at them. I missed one of them and got the other person from the back and one of the photos got trashed while I was at another one around the corner. I feel as if I have wasted 3 hours. But this also brings up the question of "what if the people don't notice?" It is like another area of this project. The idea, in my opinion, is to slow down and enjoy the beauty in your surroundings, but not everyone is willing to do that. So this is just another view of the same project. I think I might put a few of these in the show just for a contrast. To be honest, I got more of a reaction while I was taking the initial photos of Jacob, so I might include one or 2 of those. (I got one of a guy giving me the stink eye, hahahaha). But anyways, I hope you guys enjoy the photos of my brothers and myself. (there are not many photos of me in front of the camera, so enjoy it while you can, lol). And BTW, make sure you guys are dressed in a manner which you don't mind being photographed on Thursday, I want a group Pose shot for the show! Just a heads up! :)
