[B] SCHOOL DAY TRIPPIN’ : LAGUNA BEACH

Brian Khang — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 05:28:23 +0000

Today, I felt like I needed to get out and get some fresh air and apparently, I wasn’t the only one. I joined a bunch of photographers down in Laguna Beach, who are all a part of the [b] school, to stretch our legs a bit and snap fun and random photos. Here is some randomness that I photographed. If you haven’t joined the [b] school yet, what are you waiting for? Come and join this awesome community! Special thanks to Joe Photo, for always organizing the day trippin’ days!

SALTON SEA : PEOPLE

When I say people of the Salton Sea, I don’t actually mean the people that live there, but the other fellow [b] schoolers that came along on the field trip. Although I kept say the whole trip “Really? People live here? Really?” because we sure saw a lot of mobile homes there, but no people. At one point, a bunch of us wanted to venture into town, but saw a bunch of wild dogs and that quickly changed our minds.

Anyhow, this was the last part of the day and I knew that it would be the perfect light to shoot anyone that wanted photos of them selfs. michelle yam volunteered to be our model for the day to do some headshot type stuff, so you’ll notice just a bunch of photos of her below. I had the best time shooting with everyone and I’m looking forward to the next field trip!

SALTON SEA : LANDSCAPES

Besides all of the dirt, grime and just plain nastiness about the Salton Sea, there’s actually a lot of beautiful landscapes that seems to change every minute of the day. Of course I mean sunrise to sunset. It’s just so amazing to look at the scenic backdrops and in an hour time, the colors there change so much.

In this installment of landscapes, we’ll be taking a closer look at, well.. landscapes. I’ll be keeping this blog post a bit shorter on the words this time, so you can sit back and enjoy the view! At times like this, I need some sounds of the ocean and seagulls flying overhead, minus all the bad stuff that comes with it.

SALTON SEA : TEXTURES

By now, you should have realized that I don’t just shoot weddings and people. Although, you’ve heard me say before that I love being around people and that statement will forever hold true. I think as a photographer, I just need to get out and shoot, just to shoot. To find things creative or interesting to me. Last week, I was actually able to do a little bit of everything. We did a photo field trip out to the Salton Sea. I say WE, because it was me and a bunch of other photographers from The [B] School. Not only did I get to enjoy a 2 hour car ride, thanks Jack for driving! But I was able to meet some great people, hangout and shoot.

When I say a little bit of everything, I certainly mean it. I will be blogging this trip into 3 parts, Textures, Landscapes and People. It was fitting since there were so many photos I want to share with you. When we first arrived, there was an abandon building, which I heard later that it used to be a night club. It even had a swimming pool. Checkout some of my favorites and yes I know they aren’t all textures, but what the heck, I decided to classify it as a texture. I want to also thank Joe Photo for setting up these monthly field trips on The [B] School and also to [B]ecker for setting up a great resource for photographers, The [B] School. If you want to join us on the next trip, make sure you sign up on the The [B] School.
