I was finally able to finish them up and release them, and hope that they do this incredibly beautiful wedding justice.</p><br /><p>It's finally friday, however I'm on my way to the architecture studio to work on the new project that's assigned for next thursday, I'll be posting some progress pictures over the next few days from earlier in the semester and recently, just to show what I've been working on.</p><br /><p>I just wrapped up a quick shoot this afternoon which went incredibly well considering I'd never shot a band with 7 people in it. Next weekend I have a two day shoot which should be awesome, especially since my good friend Jules Ameel will be helping me. I've got an awesome hotel room booked for a part of the shoot, so cool!</p><br /><p>Three weeks until California, I'm getting soooo stoked.</p>Collin Hugheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09686323361394513335noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118143390991731166.post-29967168200952329112009-02-15T21:24:00.001-06:002009-02-15T21:24:30.162-06:00your memorial<p><a target="_blank" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3327/3283641016_f4116506f9_b.jpg"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3327/3283641016_f4116506f9.jpg" /></a></p><br /><p><a target="_blank" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3372/3283641078_c2c1ace833_o.jpg"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3372/3283641078_ee108ca206.jpg" /></a></p><br /><p>click on the to see them bigger.</p><br /><p>almost forgot to post these. this shoot in Saint Paul didn't last more than 30 minutes. great guys, had fun with them.</p><br /><p>myspace.com/yourmemorial</p>Collin Hugheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09686323361394513335noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118143390991731166.post-43798773119552451052009-02-15T21:23:00.000-06:002009-02-15T21:24:06.810-06:00last week<p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3460/3280140493_5b11d94880.jpg" height="333" width="500" /></p><br /><p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3592/3280960670_7d694ef10c.jpg" height="333" width="500" /></p><br /><p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3197/3280960694_1de4ef2da4.jpg" /></p><br /><p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3292/3280140563_85d5f8db1d.jpg" height="333" width="500" /></p><br /><p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3448/3280960618_27c69fa907.jpg" height="333" width="500" /></p><br /><p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3484/3280140397_f9d779406f.jpg" /></p><br /><p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3175/3280960584_ef3a100bcf.jpg" height="333" width="500" /></p><br /><p>went biking downtown minneapolis with ben last week, I'm itching so bad for warmer weather. one month until San Fran. these were taken as been was fixing his bike.

We're not much for Valentine's Day, and really believe that if you love someone, you'll make it a point to show it everyday...cheesy I know, but hey, it's true right? However, not to make her feel left out, I made her shrimp with orzo tonight and surprised her with some flowers. It was quite the ordeal, grocery shopping and getting everything prepared in the time I had while she was gone. My roomate John helped prepare some of the ingredients, and thankfully it was in the oven before she arrived. It was delectible to say the least. Of course, Diana ended up giving me a basket of snacks, because she knows how much of a sweet tooth I have. We spent some time after dinner in St Paul walking around, which didn't last long as it was 19 degrees out...not exactly the ideal temp for a stroll.</p><br /><p>It was a great and much needed break from school, considering I have a nice big assignement for DF2 due Tuesday.I love the class, but it's so much work I'm finding myself pulling all nighters (last wed) and neglecting some of my other homework for my other architecture classes...naja, I'll figure out to balance soon hopefully.</p><br /><p>I'm off to bed to wake up early tomorrow morning, I'm working at Apple for my only shift for the next two weeks...and I didn't even request off. All fine by me of course, I've been getting more inquiries than ever lately :]</p><br /><p>lots of work I'm about to release, I've had a great time sorting through the multiple shoots I've been doing over the past few weeks.</p><br /><p>one sidenote: my friend and fellow photog Spencer Combs proposed to his girlfriend in Nashville last night, and I'm soooo incredibly excited for him. I've been helping him cope with his ideas, stress, and travels on his way to that moment, but I'm sooo stoked now that it's official!</p>Collin Hugheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09686323361394513335noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118143390991731166.post-13838072832853055632009-02-15T21:22:00.001-06:002009-02-15T21:22:55.204-06:00feb 11<p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3406/3272971790_e0fc46bab8.jpg" height="371" width="500" /></p><br /><p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3513/3272971754_29225ebbd8.jpg" height="333" width="500" /></p><br /><p>I've been spending a ton of time in the architecture studio this week working on projects ad such.

My partner Andy and I made a really solid model that hardly dipped from parallel, even with the ball at the end. After that was finished, we had to draw, diagram, and explain our model through plan, elevation, and plan oblique drawings, which ended up taking a handful of time, as these drawings typically do.<br /><p>After spending the night working, laughing with everyone at almost everything, enduring the cold draft (from Kyle breaking the window with a tennis ball on Sunday), frustration, etc, I finally fell asleep on a couch in the basement at six thirty for about 45 minutes. All of the photos are a mix from Sunday and Monday</p><br /><p><img src="http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u16/sleepxwalker1/20309archdf25web.jpg" width="500" /><br /><p><img src="http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u16/sleepxwalker1/20309archdf26web.jpg" width="500" /><br /><p><img src="http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u16/sleepxwalker1/20309archdf24web.jpg" width="500" /><br /><p><img src="http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u16/sleepxwalker1/20309archdf23web.jpg" width="500" /><br /><p><img src="http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u16/sleepxwalker1/20309archdf21web.jpg" width="500" /><br /><p><img src="http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u16/sleepxwalker1/20309archdf28web.jpg" width="500" /><br /><p><img src="http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u16/sleepxwalker1/20309archdf27web.jpg" width="500" /><br /><p><img src="http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u16/sleepxwalker1/20309archdf29web.jpg" width="500" /><br /><p>I'm at home today going through images from 3 different shoots, catching up on homework, running some errands, and relaxing.

I took some shots of the two as you can see above. I shot them with a MF 50mm 1.4, which I bought for a couple hundred bucks from Austen's work. It pains me to buy new equipment right before I upgrade everything, but it will work out fine as I've decided to wait on the 5d mark II and go with the standard 5d. Reason for my decision could be obvious: Austen is getting me a killer deal on a body with grip, saving me almost 2k, so I'll be putting the leftover amount to another solid lens, more on that when I have the equipment.<br /><br />Today we spent the entire afternoon in Half Moon Bay and Big Basin Redwoods Park. We relaxed on the beach, took some good shots, and our drive to Big Basin was incredible going 40 mph down a 4 meter wide road hugged by cliffs and trees :O Great weather and good music made the day perfect. You should expect to see some of the images online within the next few days. Here's a clip from the beach:<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dygrLSNmJYyHsP08gXFm7xkxZps_rsNRPx0bXnaHrV66-pl93NIYjUlc1DqzaRNt-V9_s5FjH2FLsQiAOoBaw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br />Tomorrow we're going to be up semi-early to eat breakfast and catch the BART with or bikes over to Frisco. We'll be biking downtown all day so I'm stoked to get some good shots and bike some new terrain (omg hillzzzz).

Started off on Sunday after work, I had a quick shoot with a band for an hour until dark, then drove home, made a sweet dinner, biked to school and got a ticket. what for you ask? for going through a stop sign. a bike. through a stop sign. What followed was an entire night spent drawing at the architecture building until 8am, at which point I went to economics, then came back for my third review for my class. I got a solid A, was stoked, and proceeded to fall asleep in the courtyard for 3 hours. since then, monday, we had a scare of getting evicted on account of our landlord, staying up late again, broke a tube in my bike tire (again), scheduled a shoot with an entire metro track team in a couple weeks, biked in freezing cold (see below), etc.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvk3L_yo-NQfa-HMCj_Cv3O2PvgtDPfrnFPPk_1v1coiNhZ-4UHb1fY25iuwpRmUAqgkP13KkOUj5TEuxhyphenhyphen0xmpfnWPn1mnIwbOJ2Wtr3ad5KbFDPfH2C8PF5EzYFnt_0GSCOeG8x7_tDm/s1600-h/Picture+1.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 284px; height: 162px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvk3L_yo-NQfa-HMCj_Cv3O2PvgtDPfrnFPPk_1v1coiNhZ-4UHb1fY25iuwpRmUAqgkP13KkOUj5TEuxhyphenhyphen0xmpfnWPn1mnIwbOJ2Wtr3ad5KbFDPfH2C8PF5EzYFnt_0GSCOeG8x7_tDm/s320/Picture+1.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270315067724494402" /></a><br /><br />I'm currently trying to finish an overdue paper, schedule next semester's classes, finish a few shoots from the past few weeks while planning for new ones, keep up with other homework, be on time at apple, hangout with dee, plan a vacation, staying warm, and possibly maintain a social life. oh how I can't wait for break.<br /><br />here are a few from the past week: Now and Forever (myspace.com/nowandforever) and a couple more from my shoot with Mark.Collin Hugheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09686323361394513335noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118143390991731166.post-26071944461421543602008-11-08T20:10:00.000-06:002008-11-08T20:16:53.383-06:00nov 8The weekend is here and it's almost over. <br /><br />Shot a wedding today with my friend Spencer; 30 degrees, windy, snowing, and so much fun!<br />got a lot of great shots.<br /><br /><br />Here's a set from one of my senior shoots this fall, along with a shot from my late October shoot with For All Those Sleeping (myspace.com/forallthosesleeping)<br /><br /><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3060/3012654126_346b1b6779_o.jpg"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3060/3012654126_1e13908664.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Mark" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3219/3011817411_f89d46759d_o.jpg"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3219/3011817411_5941f99f49.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Mark" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3055/3012547156_b14f0b154c_o.jpg"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3055/3012547156_19faab92da.jpg" width="500" height="335" alt="For All Those Sleeping" /></a><br /><br />I'll be spending most of this coming week in the library again, along with pushing out some finished shots of my last few shoots, including City of Sound.<br /><br />Winter is beginning, which means a new website in the works, and more importantly, a vacation.Collin Hugheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09686323361394513335noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118143390991731166.post-71265786609865405842008-11-01T11:41:00.000-05:002008-11-01T12:08:28.902-05:00nov 1st<a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3137/2951131882_4ae7a01991_o.jpg"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3137/2951131882_4b96039042.jpg" width="500" height="335" alt="the morning of" /></a><br /><br />Here's the image of The Morning Of taken earlier this month.<br /><br />Halloween was intense last night, I rode around the entirety of Minneapolis, took pictures of the drunk college kids in their costumes, and barred the cold at 3 AM on my ride home.<br /><br />pictures soon.<br /><br />also, it is me and my girlfriend's 2 year anniversary today!

It's an ongoing process, as it has been for the past few years, but I'm excited to see what kind of images I produce. I have a number of shoots left for the months of oct and nov, and if I feel inclined I might slow down until next spring.<br /><br />I'm blown away by the new canon 5d and might be switching bodies coming early next year, we'll see how soon I'll be able to get my hands on that hahha!Collin Hugheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09686323361394513335noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118143390991731166.post-60684883884842155092008-10-08T00:05:00.000-05:002008-10-08T00:16:17.086-05:00Oct 7<a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3126/2923042777_aa0bb6ed88_b.jpg" title="Untitled by Collin Hughes, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3126/2923042777_aa0bb6ed88.jpg" width="500" height="334" alt="" /></a><br /><br />This is how I spent my 21st birthday; Taylors Falls with my girlfriend, apple orchard, driving the a3, good breakfast and dinner.<br /><br />It was great to finally have a day to not worry about anything, but now that school has started this week, I've been living at the library and trying to keep up with homework.
