My journalism teacher told me that I needed to improve my photography skills -- and so, while I'm trying not to contain my excitement, there is a new Nikon D300 camera in the room next door that I am currently reading the instruction manual for. While I won't be the next Annie Leibovitz, there is a lot about fashion, art, and journalism that I still need to learn! One cannot underestimate the power of the lens.
Pamela Reed and Matthew Rader of Reed + Rader produce some of my favorite pieces of contemporary photography -- with one glance at their portfolio, you can find both alluring and yet disturbing elements. The muffled women, the isolated desert scenes; the subject of each photograph seems to be the photograph itself. I wouldn't just call them photographers -- they're visual artists that combine stunning photography with computer arts. Animation included.
Is it intriguing? Most definitely. Is it Vogue? Probably not; I'm guessing Anna Wintour wouldn't like the strange purple monster in that model's hand.

Ooh, I have the D60, very nice range of cameras. Enjoy it! Photography is fun!
It's great that you have a D300! I'm trying to save up for a D60 when I'm working over the summer.
You spent $1,200 on a new camera? Wow.
wow i didn't think you were too spoiled before, but a d300 is hella expensive, haha. you're so lucky. (ps i don't mean this in a mean way, just an envious way). i have a d60 with the two vr lenses because the upper cameras are too expensive, plus like d90+ range are all like professional cameras, haha. >> but good luck learning! it's much fun.
