Fashion assignment for the paper.
This assignment kept me up for a couple of nights trying to think of clever ways to shoot that odd season of fashion we have here in Michigan, not quite Spring but still cold as hell.
Unfortunately this assignment, like some things in life, came together last minute - I found myself with no equipment and no available ambient light, so I improvised with my flash, my off camera shoe cord, and a couple of white pieces of poster board. As well as a borrowed bench from the journalism department hallway and a large black fleece blanket I keep as a impromptu backdrop.
I think it came out okay, but much thanks to my model, Liz, who always does an amazing job and makes the simplest photos look stunning.

Central Michigan's Men's basketball defeats Toledo 59-44 on Senior Night at Rose Arena. CMU held Toledo to 28.9 shooting, snapping an 11-game losing streak against the Rockets.CMU (10-18, 6-9 MAC) plays Western Michigan at 2 p.m. Saturday in Kalamazoo. The Broncos defeated the Chippewas 72-63 on Jan. 17 in Rose Arena. "For us we did not play probably with the right fire and passion that we can play with the first time we played Western," Zeigler said. "And whenever you're playing your rival you have to be up for those games and I think this performance tonight will definitely bode well for our confidence going down there."
