Hello, and welcome to the new version of SamanthaArmacost.com, it is still a work in progress, but then any portfolio site/blog will never be complete. This blog section has technical elements that I am still working the kinks out of, so if you find some part that doesn’t appear to display correctly I would greatly appreciate you leaving a comment on this entry to that effect.
My web presence has come a long way since my first table-laden design which was hosted by my alma mater. Focusing on my print work and ceramics, the site was called She Dreams in CMYK reflecting my desire to do print work.
The second layout kept the ink inspired theme, but moved in to the realm of Flash. This posed quite a challenge that resulted well, but didn’t provide the best solution for a site that needs continual updates.
So here we are with the third try. Easier to update, a fancy blog, and, of course, matching my letterhead and logo. I hope you enjoy all my efforts.
hey Sam,
I know it’s been a while since we spoke, but I was reviewing/deleting my bookmarks when I came across your site. You’ve definitely have made a lot of improvements since your last visit.
I like your print designs, very fresh and clean. But your photography is very nice, I love the natural lighting and depth of field (the bicycle, and spools of thread photos especially). It gives your photos so much warmth and dimension.
So have you officially graduated? If so what have you been up to?
I’m still doing photoshop and digital photography at H&D, which is still my passion. But I’ve been doing a lot of outdoor nature & landscape photography while kayaking. I invested in a nice telephoto lens which is necessary to be able to get decent shots of the wildlife. But what I love about shooting nature & landscapes is you’re capturing the “moment”. You have no control over the lighting and composition like you do in the studio. It can be very spontaneous and frustrating, but once you get that shot-it’s worth the effort.
Well, I better get back to work . . . being paged for the 4th time : )
Keep in touch,
Ken
