Hi my name is Francis.

I'm just a college student trying to remember what this life is like through photographs.

Bianca’s Sweet 16

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008



I worked as the head photographer for my first big party (I usually work as an assistant at various wedding ceremonies). The party was for a client, Bianca, who just turned 16 with her best friend. I took my friend Alain along with me to the party to work as an assistant and let him take advantage of the free food. And to think, people say I’m not thoughtful? Ha!

The SJ Committee, or Skinny Jeans Committee is an online magazine that me and my friends are planning to put together in the near future. We needed a few shots for the magazine, and decided to get started right away. The first image in the this blog post is of myself; the SJC Photo Shoot is the my first project that I decided to throw myself into. I used a wireless remote control made by Cactus Electronics in order to control the camera while I was in the picture.

The jelly bean wine glasses were inspired by the movie Ghostrider. The jelly beans serve two purposes. They’re there to add a bit of fun to the image. They also act as a symbol of irony. Six teenagers dressed up trying to act grown, but at the same time we’re all holding candy.

On a side note… jelly beans are nasty as hell.

A few behind the scenes shots of the 6/25/08 Photo Shoot. I sometimes get bored and feel the need to randomly update my blogs. This is one of those moments =p.
