Photography Exercise3 - Documenting My "Day Off"

I documented my "day off" today. I only use air quotes because I never get to relax and I have a lot to do, which isn't the typical definition of a day off. Basically, I documented the day from my early morning breakfast routine to the places I went, with some things I saw along the way. I had to go to different shops today to find interesting pieces for my model to where for my photography [final project] shoot. It's my first real day off and I spent it in a car, as opposed to being lazy at home. But, it made for some interesting shots.

I didn't exactly shoot by the hour, because I had a huge to-do list and lost track of time a lot, but I think I fulfilled documenting my not-so-interesting life. It's not exactly a normal "day in the life of Alyssa", but my typical day consists of just school and work. That's the reason I decided to shoot today, rather than any other day. These are the kind of days I go out and see interesting people and explore new places.


Whipping up my eggs (yes, I eat three). 

Into the pan!

When there is a "Fashion Police" from the night before, I never miss watching it the next morning. 

Ran to this little vintage shop in search of clothing for a photo shoot.

Took this as I was leaving.

Arrived at another shop (Kathleen Sommers).

When I arrived back at my car, this woman was alternating between two dogs (in her car) and running back and forth between streets. A bit odd, but made for a good last minute capture.

Another shop - in the dressing room (saw it was 4:00 so took the opportunity with the mirror).

Stuck in traffic, going home.

I get the mail when I come home, even though it's my parents' mail. 

Just watered my strawberry plant (didn't think of doing so until after I had already watered it).

Studying

Ending my day with editing photos, messing around in my sketchbook and watching one of my favorite shows.
