Everyone, Meet Mr. Zee

So back in high school I was working hard to get noticed much like now. Of course, my work wasn't quite as good as it is now back then, but it got me one of the most influential opportunities I've had in my life. I was offered an internship at a local magazine and ad agency. There I worked with 2 designers that gave me huge insight into the industry. I worked closely with the web designer, Zee Valliani, who showed a lot about web design and development. He's a pretty rad guy. He recently made a blog for himself on top of his portfolio site. The guy is a computer genius and an awesome designer. Go to his site and check him out.

Yar She Blows!!!

So the portraiture final is coming up and I began scouting for my concept earlier this week. Here we have a sailboat. This will be the stage in which I shoot my model on. I'm really excited to get this shoot on the road. Although it was raining that day - so the boat doesn't look so fun and sunny. but I assure you - when the time is right it will provide some nice images. Thanks to my buddy Tom Sawchuck I get to take this bad boy out in the water for some fashion shots! I'll be updating more about the shoot soon.

Oh Tumblr...How I've Changed

Alas, The final addition to the tumblr research. I have to say after looking through the many different tumblr blogs I gained a new respect for it. I think I may even use it to my advantage in the future. Well for the final blog I would like to exhibit one cool guy. Mister Stephen Polanco. This dude is a graphic artist and photographer. Although, I'm unsure if this is all of his work, yet it is inspiring nonetheless. Also, I like how clean the blog is. It is very minimalist. Lookie!

Tumblr...Again

Well I decided to go off the beaten path just this once. I found a really nice graphics and photography blog. It is incredibly long and is full of really nice content. I love the typography and photography posts. It is a really good blog to look for some inspiration. I implore you to take a look - you wont regret it friends.

Tumblr Time 3: The Third Tumbling

Again - I am posting about Tumblr pages I have researched for class. In my search I stumbled (or Tumbled) across this helpful blog. This blog is a pretty good source of info on getting cash for your pictures. It is also a pretty nice portal to find other photography blogs and sites. It is definitely worth looking at. Look!

Tumblr Time

So the second tumblr site I have found belongs to a site I frequently go to Lookbook.nu. Although I'm pretty positive that lookbook.nu is a tumblr site. either way - this site is pretty cool, although I'm not a huge fan of the template. I have a thing about having main components of a site being aligned to the left and right. but meh maybe that's just me. Check it out.

Ew Tumblr

So I may not be a huge Tumblr fan, but schoolwork is schoolwork. Here is my first tumblr site I've found. I really love how the wide thumbnails of the images and how quickly you can scan through the page. This site is primarily only for inspirational fashion photography, but good find nonetheless. Although I kind of wish the thumbnails were all lined up. Check it out

FACEBOOK!

For class I'm required to make a facebook...which I'm a bit apprehensive about it. I have never really thought of making one before - but nevertheless it will be made. SO - here I'd love to exhibit my new facebook fan page simply titled - Erik Helms. This will be similar to my flickr by showcasing my works both old and new. I'd love it if you Liked it!
