Here is the lantern photo that the text book team decided to use. It was really fun to have an assignment and find different ways to illustrate their theme,
The comment has the book design.
Dieser Gattung waren einmal über 100 Arten zugeordnet. Wegen vieler Ähnlichkeiten zu den Gattungen Echinopsis und Trichocereus, gibt es immer wieder neue Zuordnungen.
Derzeit werden etwa 40 Arten der ehemaligen Gattung Lobivia zugeordnet. Der Großteil der Pflanzen kommt aus Bolivien, teilweise Argentinien und Süd-Peru. Dort wachsen die meisten Arten in gebirgigen Regionen und sind dort oft harten Bedingungen ausgesetzt.
This genus was once assigned to over 100 species. Because of many similarities to the genus Echinopsis and Trichocereus, there are always new assignments.
Currently about 40 species of the former genus Lobivia are assigned. The majority of the plants come from Bolivia, partly Argentina and South Peru. There, most species grow in mountainous regions and are often exposed to harsh conditions.
Here was another treatment of the lantern and lighting. I was going for the homey look with the dish cabinet. Neither this one or Assignment 1 was chosen. But I had fun thinking of new ways to show a lantern.

Dark, mysterious....... I'll take many more photos for this assignment!
I love stairways. Especially the winding, marble stairway at the New York Public Llibrary.
Styling assignment: Camera: Canon 1DX Mark II. Lens: Canon 24-70mm, f/4.5, SS: 1/50, ISO 200. Light source: Canon 600EXII-RT Speedlight w/Impact 24" x 24" Quickbox with grid. Note: Child was not sitting on a shelf. He was laying with his back on the floor. Image was shot from above.
I took this photograph for a Weekend Assignment and Contest group (www.flickr.com/groups/weekend_assignment/). This week's theme is "exploring heritage".
This is Central Lake, MI where I currently live. My family has lived in this town for a really long long while. My Uncle lives in the house where my dad was born, just outside of town. The house is on land that was a portion of the original homestead made by my father's family more than 5 generations back. It's interesting to realize that the old photo here showed the town as it would have looked when my grandpa came here to do his shopping!
One of Conrail’s former Erie/EL E8’s escaped the fate of its roster mates, who gave up their prime movers to the DeWitt Geep RS3 re-engine program. Shortly after the consolidation, Conrail’s management elected to institute a business train, and the motive power department chose former Erie/EL 833 to be the streamlined face of the corporate conveyance. Several office cars and the 4022 emerged from the paint shop in Conrail blue, and remained that way until the office car train was expanded and painted dark Pullman green in the early 1980’s. Between OCS assignments, the 4022 frequently spent time on the New York & Long branch commuter line in New Jersey. Here the blue streamliner descends the ramp to the South Amboy engine house.
Assignment 52 -- "Fine Art" -- what might you hang on your wall?
This assignment inspired me to experiment with HDR, to attempt an "old masters'" sort of glow to a still life. Amazingly fun & addictive!

The assignment was to use Photoshop's Vanishing Point filter to wrap a banner or sign around a building. I decided to use a picture of the girls. I could have put more time into this. But, I had to get it done in a hurry. Using the filter was easy. The only work involved was making sure the light pole was in front of the banner. I should have darkened the right side of the banner a little as the light source is hitting the building on the other side. But, once again, I put this together quickly. I also should have created a crease going along the corner of the building. I'll probably fix these issues and replace this image at some point soon.
On our vacation to the New Brunswick we were visiting this old farm and found these three beautiful kittens in the barn. They were so friendly we wanted to take them home.
Richard and I went to the Oak Hill Farm for a sketch day. Richard was on assignment for the Press Democrat, while was just along for the ride and a chance to sketch.
Red Shoes Home Goods.
Outtake from a recent assignment. Several of my favorite shots were chosen for the story, and I agreed to wait a week before posting them.
See Story Here. I only took the Fairy Door images.

I'll beat everyone to this critique: I wish that I got his whole hand.
What I learned from doing these photos is to give myself some extra room when shooting. I was trying to stay zoomed in and keep the action tight. Because they move so quickly up this board and they can swing erratically; it was hard to keep the feet and arms always in the frame while zoomed in so tight. I’m balancing on the top of this board so it is difficult for me to move around. In retrospect I should have not worried about zooming in so tight because you can always crop the unwanted areas out...it is much tougher to recreate a hand.
I'm not sure if I should crop tighter on the right and top?
What about the color of the light in comparison to the other campus board photo.
Which one is better?
Feedback please!
This is a pano from 5 vertical shots. We dont get much cool weather here in SoCal, so I was happy to see these clouds, which were actually a different shot from later in the day.

I took out a tree in the background, but you can still see the reflection...
