School's started...and I got into Photo2 with a little schedule rearranging =]
Our first project is still black & white film, however it's a free shoot. So I can do anything I want. I wanted to do portraits, because those were by far my best shots out of last year's stuff, and I really enjoy doing them. Problem is, my boyfriend is "not allowed to see me" outside of school, and is grounded because his mom is overprotective and uber high-strung, and my other friend who I normally have model for me, is on restriction with the car and has a date with her boyfriend sunday, so I'm kind of lacking on people to use for my portraits.

What else can I do that would carry the same affect? I originally wanted a dark hand on a white horse, sort of a close up (because my boyfriend is rather tan), but now that's not gonna work. Then I was gonna have my friend pose in a field, or dress her up and do some emotive portraits, but of course that's out of the question now too. I don't really have many other people who I can call on a whim and have come out to shoot with me and because it's still summer time and I live in the wonderfully arid Southern California, scenary is looking rather icky.
So--I'm at a loss. I have 25 frames to work with, and all of my assorted lenses to use (though in particular I love my 50mm).

I know I could do some close-ups on my horse, but besides that, what would be really eye-catching in black and white that doesn't involve people or pretty flowers? lol
