To officially commemorate the last month of my blog, I'd like to present you all, dear readers, with portraits of my 9 best friends. These next nine days should prove a very interesting journal of who's been most influential in my life. They've helped me become who I am today, (along with parents of course, wouldn't want to forget to credit them) ;) and have just been fun to hang out with over the last few months or more. So to all of you subjects I'd like to say in advance, thank you all for being such fantastic friends and great people in general. Also, I'd like to thank a few of you specifically for conquering the camera shyness and cooperating with my odd and sometimes probably annoying photographer habits :D It's been a fun week!
Well, now I suppose I should get to this guy that you see in the picture here. His name is Jordan, and he's one of the most personable guys you'll ever meet. He's nice to whoever he happens to be around always very humorous, actually that's probably an understatement, he's hilarious. We first met as locker buddies in 6th grade. I use the term locker buddies lightly I guess, because we didn't share a locker, but rather our last names have put us right next to each other on the locker spectrum since way back in the day. He also happens to be a really talented artist to say the least, and his drawings can all be seen at his DeviantArt page. My theme for the week as I had planned it was to capture these nine people doing what they love best, so even though you can't see it I'd like you all to know that Jordan is drawing in his sketch book. Note that extremely concentrated face as he creates his masterpiece. He usually does that in class, so I'm sure he's good at keeping his concentrated drawing face pretty similar to his "Why yes, I'm listening" face... haha.
A little creative editing went into these mostly because it was finals week and I could use a little creative expression, so excuse the odd tints. I just thought they gave a one-off feel to the whole photo.

Just typical school lighting. I didn't use anything special lighting wise other than the sun and in-school lights. :)
Deep concentration. I will definitely look at his site. You caught all of your friends with unique expressions, exceptionally well done.
