All of my photos were out of focus and it was difficult for me to focus correctly and it was just an awful experience. I taught a friend of mine how to use it and her photos came out beautifully. I don’t know why or how but I was really jealous. Anyway, since my photos were out of focus I destroyed my negatives. I taped this photo to the bottom of my shoe and walked around my school all day. </p>http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/40785324463http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/40785324463Thu, 17 Jan 2013 16:19:37 -0500artblack and white120 film6x9destroyed negativephotographyJessica González<a href="http://www.flickr.com/holidaygift">Flickr's Giving Away 3 Free Months of Flickr Pro</a>: <p><a href="http://tumblr.photojojo.com/post/38566656723/flickrs-giving-away-3-free-months-of-flickr-pro" class="tumblr_blog" target="_blank">photojojo</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>Woot, everyone gets 3 free months of Flickr Pro!

I went on my own and probably angered a lot of people for trying to get in the front to take some “cool” shots. He was so lovely and comfortable with the audience it was really beautiful. Geoff Rickly was greater than I expected him to be live and he showed his humor during the show. Going on my own, going through highway hypnosis, and having hallucinations on the way back to Houston did not make me regret going. I had so much fun.</p>http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/37847855396http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/37847855396Thu, 13 Dec 2012 14:35:15 -0500anthony greengeoff ricklyflickrshowsan antoniothe white rabbitcolordigitalcanon eos rebel xti<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/22d9c5fe1281012c377c213d11fe0839/tumblr_meumosXXrE1r324h8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/37693137798http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/37693137798Mon, 10 Dec 2012 23:19:35 -0500artphotographyflickrJessica Gonzálezblack and whiteskull35mmfilm<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_memoo4aSCf1r324h8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I’m so excited to be able to post this photo. I took this not too long ago but I was so impatient and wanted to post it because I really like it. We had to dissect owl pellets for my environmental science class and instead of throwing my bones away I thought of a cool way to reuse them and my friend Joey, who I am in love with, gave me hers. I used tacky glue to glue the bones to my model’s back and then just took photos of her in her backyard. I took this with a Yashica twin lens. I took more cool shots but I’ll post them individually because I’m in love with them.</p>http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/37353131505http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/37353131505Thu, 06 Dec 2012 16:21:36 -0500yashicatwin lensblack and whiteJessica Gonzálezartphotographybonesnightflickr<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mekuecbFzq1r324h8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I went to see my friend play a show along with Twitching Tongues and it was a good show. I had so much fun and every band was pretty good. It was my first time shooting at a show and I was kind of afraid of people moshing on me so I took these with the best of my ability. So many blue eyed, pale, white boys went so I have to edit out a lot of pasty skin and red eyes. I’ll probably have them done by Friday and just upload all of them as a photoset. I’m not in love with these but I’m expanding my horizons and I think they came out pretty decent for my first time shooting at a show.</p>http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/37281823045http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/37281823045Wed, 05 Dec 2012 16:30:11 -0500twitching tonguesshowhoustontexaswaltershardcorecolorcanon eos rebel xtiJessica Gonzálezflickr<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mc3pm0XI6J1r324h8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>This is my Mordancage print. Mordancage is basically a process that distorts and bubbles up the exposed silver on your photo paper and makes it look like a veil. It’s really cool and it’s, like my teacher said, “photo voodoo magic”. You put the print made on RC paper in a bleach mixture and that turns your paper a kind of olive color and then you take it out when the black/olive veils the way you want and wash it. After that you put your print in developer and it makes the olive parts black again and you can take it out when there’s still some olive (that then turns to gold) or when it’s all black. I’m really proud of this print and I feel like it’s the best one I have made this semester so far. The way I picked up the paper determined the way the veils would sway so I made sure I picked it up on it’s side to give it that swooping wave-like effect.</p>http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/33844522313http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/33844522313Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:20:23 -0400mordencagephotographyart35mmnikonJessica GonzálezforestBlack and Whitefilmflickrcreepy<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mb3853lTUh1r324h8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>This is a photo I took during the summer. I painted my model’s face with acrylic paint and put glitter on her eyebrows (the photos will be posted as soon as I edit them) and unfortunately they irritated her eyes and skin. I felt really terrible, she has been such a good model for me for over a year now. I took this photo when I told her to go far out into the water and go in. She felt uncomfortable so she came back up and I decided to hit the shutter button. I like how her figure is androgynous and you can clearly see the details of the clouds. I took this with a Holga and used a tripod.</p>http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/32491592290http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/32491592290Fri, 28 Sep 2012 21:29:24 -0400holga120 filmfilmartflickrphotographygalvestontexasportraitblack and whiteJessica Gonzálezmysteriousdark<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mb37gt2Nou1r324h8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>This is my self portrait. I actually took this in my best friend’s garden and I had really bad neck cramps the next day from laying down and holding my head up to the small leaf. I used a mirror and a tripod since I don’t have a remote. It was pretty fun. I painted my face with layers and layers of eyeliner gel and I put on fake eyelashes and a whole outfit that I didn’t even show off in any of my photos. I wanted to make sure everything was right just in case I took a photo from a different angle. I like how mysterious and dark this came out. That seems to be my style when you look at the rest of my art. </p>http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/32490621130http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/32490621130Fri, 28 Sep 2012 21:14:51 -0400self portraitartphotographyJessica Gonzálezblack and white35mmfilmlightgrassdarkmysteriousflickr<p>Hey guys, I apologize for barely posting any of my art on here these past few months. I figured I would post a photo from an old assignment to give this blog at least a little bit of life. I don&#8217;t have the essential tools to develop my film but once the school year starts I&#8217;ll be right back to posting a whole bunch of my art. I&#8217;m determined improve the quality of my art so hopefully it satisfies everyone who follows this blog. I want to thank everyone who&#8217;s thought my art worthy of their follow, it means a lot and I REALLY appreciate it. Thanks for your patience! </p>http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/29501993242http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/29501993242Wed, 15 Aug 2012 16:58:00 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8tcn2RxzG1r324h8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/29499721639http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/29499721639Wed, 15 Aug 2012 16:23:26 -0400japanesehousepalm treesorrowburned down housephotographyblack and whitefilmholgaJessica Gonzálezflickrart<p>Gee, thanks!</p>http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/24603681650http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/24603681650Thu, 07 Jun 2012 07:30:10 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1vlhdciNF1r324h8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/20375596163http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/20375596163Mon, 02 Apr 2012 19:34:22 -0400japanesechop sticksnatureburned down housephotographyartholga120 filmblack and whitefilmJessica Gonzálezflickr<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m15vk02x1F1r324h8o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m15vk02x1F1r324h8o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m15vk02x1F1r324h8o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m15vk02x1F1r324h8o4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m15vk02x1F1r324h8o5_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m15vk02x1F1r324h8o6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>This is a story…</p>http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/19607539107http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/19607539107Mon, 19 Mar 2012 22:13:00 -0400photographyartsurrealismnaturestoryflickrJessica Gonzálezblack and white35mmyashicalarge format<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0z4qhSFeu1r324h8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/19392851528http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/19392851528Fri, 16 Mar 2012 06:49:28 -0400naturephotographyartJessica Gonzálezfilmblack and whiteyashicalarge format<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0z4n90sPc1r324h8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/19392821818http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/19392821818Fri, 16 Mar 2012 06:47:32 -0400photographyartJessica Gonzáleznaturefilmyashicalarge formatblack and white<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lywk2pMRll1r324h8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/17073081535http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/17073081535Sat, 04 Feb 2012 23:20:48 -0500ghostwindow lightingphotographyblack and whitefilm35mmflickrJessica González<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lywjwvSvPz1r324h8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/17072901444http://jessicagonzalezphoto.tumblr.com/post/17072901444Sat, 04 Feb 2012 23:17:17 -0500ghostfieldphotographyartJessica Gonzálezblack and white35mmflickrfilm
