Arts-Fest at State College

This was our first trip to art-fest! But will not be my last! Every step lead to something unique and interesting. Yes, most things are expensive, looking is still free.

We went on Thursday, Wednesday was children's day and in a park the was some and sculptures started for the kids.

A Wrestler

A cool off station!!

Italian Street Art

Most was just started cause we were there on the first day.

Their chalk.

Now to my favorite artist, Sandra Russell. I have admired here work for a couple of years when I found her on ebay. A photographer who uses a polaroid camera. Visit her website for more info and to see her portfolio. http://www.ebsqart.com/Artists/cmd_889_profile.htm

I did not know she was going to be there, so when I saw the photos I knew who it was but I couldn't remember her name. I talked to her for a bit and I knew I was going to buy something, but what I liked so many of her photos. Her things are reasonably priced. I decided on a rusty relic, Running on Empty a photo of an old gas pump.

Here is a better look at some of her photos, Happy Pup in the red truck is a very popular print of hers.

WELCOME

Hello, glad you could find the time to visit! The Clicks Of My Shutter welcomes you to a photo journal of things happening around me, places I go, sometime just to take photos. I am an amature photographer who likes taking photos more than people like looking at them!! Most of the photos can be viewed larger, I keep them pretty small for easier uploading. Remember you can look at older posts by clicking the older posts link at the end of the page. All photography is copyrighted automatically but I don't mind if you use my photos for yourself, all I ask is if you use them on another website give credit where credit is due. If you are thinking of family or other photos, e-mail me at debapaka@aol.com Thanks for visiting!

~ What To Wear ~

I found this on the Web and thought it was usefull! Photographers shooting a traditional family portrait will suggest that members wear a uniform color that the entire clan feels comfortable in. The safest colors are solid muted tones that don't distract from a person's face. Suggested color "dos" include: •Brown •Blue •Rust •Burgundy •Mocha •Hunter green •Gold Conversely, there are a number of colors that you shouldn't sport on family picture day. Some color "don'ts" include: •Purple •All neon or fluorescent colors •Bright red •Bright green •Gray In addition, individuals with fair skin should avoid wearing flesh-tones, such as: •Beige •Tan •Peach •Pink •Bright white •Yellow •Rose •Apricot Black is a controversial color in the world of family portraits. Some photographers recommend wearing black during formal shoots, though most pro shooters tell their clients to avoid wearing black in family portraits because the color may cause lighting issues. Extreme contrasts are to be avoided at all costs during photo shoots, especially when multiple subjects are involved. You're better off sticking with neutral colors that will accentuate your natural features.
