Feb 11th is Victory of the Revolution Day in Iran

Unite 4 human rights in IranEquivalent to the Fourth of July in the United States, it is a day commemorating liberty, independence and freedom. But the Iranian government has long violated these rights and is responsible for numerous abuses including torture, arbitrary arrests, censorship and the most recent execution of two activists accused of inciting the post-election protests on June 12th – even though these men had been held in detention long before the violence erupted.

rigorous disco of doom

an 18-person dance democracy with three endings, explosions & fireballs, a futuristic wedding, a sex-crazed priest, two killer pigeons, zombies (of course), and a bounce party intermission show. i’m speechless.

día de los muertos

[blahhhhg: personal confessional time]

last night i felt disappointed in myself as i photographed–or rather failed to photograph well–the day of the dead parade in new orleans. maybe i built myself up too much, getting excited for weeks to take photos of this event. maybe i should have gone in more relaxed. maybe i shouldn’t have had those two extra beers that made me have pee so bad.

091102-5d_5211i felt discoordinated the whole first half of the parade, beginning at the iron rail and heading through jackson square. i fumbled with exposures, with my wireless flash getup–which doesn’t work well outdoors i figured out–and realized i needed my wide-angle lens and not this heavy zoom that ached my wrist.

but now i’m editing and learning. i wrecked what would have been many great shots, getting mis-fires from the wireless flash and under- or over-exposing photos. and even though i keep telling myself to take more close-ups, tight portraits, etc., i don’t. i shy away from the confrontation thinking people will get annoyed with me flashing in their faces.

what i’ll take from this is the few shots that worked: finding the right exposure for shooting with a fill flash, and figuring out the disadvantages of hand-held flash in one hand and a heavy lens in the other. and of course, shoot more, more, more.
