I have the original printing of this (M2904, 1974), but some genius at Fawcett decided that a big black banner across the illustration would be just perfect ("The New Sam Durell Adventure").

Active Weekly Assignment (Mar. 1-8, 2021) - "There is a number in my photo"
For this assignment, I wanted to find some numbers outside rather then arranging something at home. My girlfriend had the idea that the single spaces in parking decks are often numbered, so I made a tour through the different parking decks in my town (turns out only half of them actually have numbers).
There are only two numbers but at least they consist of six digits, I hope that counts :).
Post-processing: Apart from cropping and the obvious conversion to b&w I adjusted the brightness, mostly by playing around with the "filmic rgb" and "tone equalizer" modules of Darktable which I learned about just recently and are trying to master now.
I downloaded a new app to my ipad called Assignment. It has wonderful ideas to get me back to and motivated to shooting more often.
Assignment 1: Non-conventional Public Art
Photograph of sensationalized orange to reflect the image social media has on "natural beauty." Photograph transformed with Photoshop into the form of a meme popular is social media today. This is posted to my Instagram account as public art.

Nom nom nom? Anyways. I've always enjoyed grossing people out by obnoxiously eating with my mouth wide open. In my mouth are chocolate, crackers, frosted Mini-wheats, and Cheerios. Why not macro this and see the details of the chewed up food mixed with the saliva?
Active Assignment Weekly: Jan 18-25 "Details"
Rumpleteazer is one of the most beautiful cats I have ever seen. He has just as much spunk as when my mom saved him from the side of the road many years ago.
There is a color version of this in my photostream as well, but I thought the b&w highlighted the details a little more effectively for the AAW.
"And when you heard a dining room smash
Or up from the pantry there came a loud crash
Or down from the library came a loud ping
From a vase which was commonly said to be Ming
Then the family would say: "Now which was which cat?
It was Mungojerrie! And Rumpleteazer!"
And there's nothing at all to be done about that!”
― T.S. Eliot, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats

For this series of images, I was with my friends working on a car. The first image shows my point of view, or a "straight-on" POV. The image in the middle shows a bug's POV because it was taken low to the ground, and shows a pile of bolts. The last image shows a bird's POV.

Hmm... It's a bit late.. But I think Coraline enjoyed her first assignment for AGMA Season 4! Do you think she'll get into the next round? :)
Our current (last week of Jan '12) assignment is for photos that are atmospheric; show mood. I fooled around with this photo of a crowded Green Line streetcar in all kinds of way, but rejected it. Someone doesn't like her picture taken and I don't blame her. I don't mind; really I just don't care- if you can see me I'm fair game. You will see few people on my photostream.
On a related note a woman got on at Park as this lot got off. An attractive, tall young woman, she wore low LL Bean duck boots with no socks- preppy galore! Now I am no foot fetishist by any means- I find feet disgusting- walking barefoot in the grass is an embarrassment, not a joy. Shoes, however are interesting from design, style and craft points of view. I looked at her and she glared at me like the pervert I protest I'm not- no way was I going to say a word to her.
But dammit I wanted that shot! At Haymarket someone got on and stood between us. The streetcar lurched, he leaned forward and I took my shot ...
And it was terrible. Not too blurry but her skin came out the same tone as the leather. Not good enough for me. You'll just have to imagine duck boots and no socks.
Assignment: Take a photograph capturing "preparation"
Restrictions: Must include a person or persons (may be just a hand or other small part)
Dare: Use either low key or high key to bump up the mood
This is a photo of my husband spicing up our ribs for dinner. He watched a show on using spices and learned that Allspice was good on meats. Converted to b/w in LR and added clarity, contrast and grain

Strobist Bootcamp II Assignment I - Headshots
She is a freelance web designer and programmer, and this headshot is supposed to go in her promotion website (she's also my girlfriend, maybe worth mentioning :P).
* Strobist info :
- Vivitar 285 with white shoot-through umbrella at camera left as key-light, slightly taller than subject's head. Dunno about power setting, just about enough ;)
- Nikon Sb28 as second light at camera right, behind subject, to give cross-light for the camera right side. Zoom at 85mm. It is turned off in her case.
- Sunpak 888afz, with 1 stop ND and cookie (laptop cooling base fan), to light (very) off-white background (I *really* should paint my living room).
Active Assignment Weekly: Shadows
I had a lot of fun with this one! I like the swirly shadow and the texture of the background. The grain is intentional.
WIT: I used my Speed Light, positioning it a little above the coil and camera left. I did not shoot the flash directly at the coil, but so that the edge light stream hit it. Settings: Flash at 1/64, Shutter at 1/200, Aperture at f/13, ISO at 400.
Sorry about the poor quality, it's a screenshot from a webcam. This is from one of my university assignments dealing with augmented reality. The program we are using tracks markers and places an object on them in 3D space, so in reality we can't see those objects on the markers, but they are displayed on the screen exactly how it is presented in this photo. These objects are part of a demo, we didn't make them ourselves.
