Assignment 52: Reflections
(Only had my iPhone with me at the time, but sometimes they do come through---)
Practice Day #11: This is my final week in PPSOP, and these are pictures that I submitted as my final assignment. Found these alphabet jellies in the market one day. Wasn't sure what to do with it, but I just thought it was interesting. And then I came up with the idea of lining them up in a tall glass (a quite tricky job!), together with ordinary white jelly balls.

this is a photo of the second part of a photo class assignment i had to present this week. for the assignment we were to make a walk and then also make an intervention of some sort in the environment. for inspiration we were introduced to the work of Richard Long and other walking artists.
for my walk and intervention i went to our property on the north end of Vancouver Island. a few weeks ago there was a landslide in the area and the land mass on the edge of our property and to the south of it underwent a drastic change. i don't have before photographs but a creek that could hardly be seen because of forest and thick undergrowth was now a 100 ft wide open area with trees down everywhere. a pullout between the road and the ocean that could easily fit 5 trucks was now completely gone.
i walked and took photographs of the landslide clean up and then went into the forest nearby and cleared a small area, set out bowls, filled them with earth and pine cones and then lit incense. then i took the bowls of ashes and earth down to the creek and submerged them in the creek.
i've posted each of the photos in this work on my website here
I used a Slow shutter speed and an ISO of 400 so you could actually see me sitting, so Sophie could draw the wings. We had Mandi press the button.

My new guitar...
I took this picture just to show off my new guitar. I also wanted to play around with a 'light thru the blinds' shot that I saw in a lot of the 'noir' submissions from the Lighting 102 assignment. After seeing the finished shot it occurred to me that it might make a reasonable submission for the 'Cross, Balanace, Sculpt' assignment as well... although I've got more Balance and Sculpt than Cross... but oh well :)
Strobist info: Metz 45 outside shooting in thru the blinds at 1/4 power. Viv 285hv camera left (almost even with subject) shooting at 1/2 power thru a Rogue grid (25 degrees).
So here's something fun for everyone to do, should be quick and easy, but try to make it pretty.
- First, go here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random The title of the article is now the name of your band.
- Next, go here: www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 Go to the bottom of the page. The last four to five words of the last quote are the title of your first album
- Lastly, go here: www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days Select the 3rd image. It is the picture for your album cover. Manipulate the picture, resize it, add some other color, whatever. Do the same with the band name and album title, put them over top. However you wanna do it. Make it look cool.
-----------------------------------
- My wikipedia draw led me to the Oyi page
- The quote (from the last three words - I modified!) is from Samuel Johnson (1709 - 1784)
"People need to be reminded more often than they need to be instructed."
- Unfortunately, the Flickr Interesting photo I originally landed on was not Creative Commons licensed, so I did an advanced search with CC license allowing modification with the search term, 'interestingness' and ended on this photo, Smouldering Heart of the Blues, by Evan Leeson.
Using www.lunapic.com LunaPic, I used color changer to modify some of the blues to purple and added the text, Oyi, using NightSky font and the text, to be instructed, using the AirConditioner font.
Fun, easy, and 'instructional' (for new editing features)! Using creative tools with limited elements was a great start - gets one beyond the 'how to I start' anxiety that many experience when asked to be 'creative'. :)
Amtrak # 455, an EMD F59PHI, sits on the spare track (between tracks 10 & 11) in Los Angeles Union Station, waiting on an assignment. Taken by a Nikon D610 at ISO 400 with a Nikkor 35-105mm Æ’ 3.5-4.5 AF lens. (at 35)
Amtrak keeps a spare locomotive here at all times - or at least every time I've visited LAUS...
In the distance, a Metrolink train is waiting on its next run.
Two Rock Island & one Southern Pacific locomotives are standing by at Rock Island's Blue Island diesel facility for assignment. Though the RI's look a little worn down they can do the job. March, 1978.
We are currently learning about press photography in my "photo" class at school. The assigment was to show off the "new" school and the students doing media and communication classes.
This is my result.
The school is Thor Heyerdahl and is in Larvik, Norway. If im not mistaken it was the most expensive school in Scandinavia to build...
If anyone have some criticism of this, please leave it in a comment :)
Assignment: PCA31- Play
Deadline: June 29
Image Tag: pca31
From: Cynthia
Mission:
Everyone loves to play. Even adults. Here is your chance to get out and play. Surround yourself with people having fun for inspiration. Let loose. Kids are really good for inspiring one’s sense of playfulness and fun. Now, it doesn’t have to be a certain way. Remember, be creative, adventurous, but most importantly, get out and play.
WIT: well besides alot of reading up, playing about and above all grovelling to the wife i took the plunge and upgraded to a DSlr, so from here on in most of my assignment shots will be taken with my new toy, after all adults like to play too :-))
New camera laid out on black background with various shots taken then into photoshop to add the text and burn out a few blown areas. This was the only real shot i managed ths week for the assgnment due to reading the rather large manual for the new camera.
Assignment #2 is all about contrast and complementary colors. This painting is a split complementary scheme. I chose the complements of orange and blue, and then used the blue green and blue purple analogous colors. I was so sick of using a fixed color palette at this point that I just threw this together. It's way to coloring book-ish for me, but I love the subject matter, so I guess it has some merit.

Alta Gracia, Dominican Republic
Workers at the Alta Gracia factory, set up as a "fair wage" factory recently by Knights Apparel, which is one of the largest suppliers of t-shirts and sweatshirts to colleges in the US. This factory is paying workers a living wage, about 3.5 times more than they are paid in other factories clothing factories in the DR.
The clothes are sold at a slightly higher price with tags explaining to customers that Alta Gracia (also the name of the clothing line) pays the workers more.

Lots of options with this one. It is tall enough that we can crop to a single page, and there is enough room on the right to fill with copy.

Love the signo white pen, but the bic correction pen works well when the uniball signo pen isnt available
Active Assignment Weekly - Surrealism.
Wow - this is a tough assignment as I can't do double exposure with my camera, and I don't have Photoshop or any such fancy thing. So, I have played about with what I have.
WIT:
I took some shots of my hand in front of the TV screen during whatever happened to be on - it was a movie of some sort. I had to go with what came up. Then, in PP I used the Polar Co-ordinates application.
These are all my past assignments, which were done during the time when I was doing my MSc degree at the Oxford Uni.
Can't carry them home, so, I'd rather store them here yeah?
Active Assignment Weekly: Break the Rules
First I used dead/wilting flowers, and underexposed them. I also tried to break the rules of composition by placing the "heaviest" object at the top of the frame, making it look upside-down (it isn't). Hardest of all for me, this is straight out of the camera, no cropping or anything. Used a low power speedlight camera left, snooted to prevent spill.
Unfortunately, the big, intact rose is right at the junction of thirds lines. Apparently, I can't break that many rules.

Assignment 52 -- Home Town Tourist Attractions -- Ernest Hemingway Birthplace, 339 N. Oak Park Ave., Oak Park, IL
Oak Parkers are very proud of their native son, Ernest Hemingway. They're even proud of his famously derisive description of the village as "a neighborhood of wide lawns and narrow minds." I suppose that's because they think they've changed.
The Hemingway Foundation provides tours of the birthplace house, lovingly restored to Victorian splendor, with amazing attention to the accuracy of details gleaned from such hints as scraps of wallpaper and descriptions by Hemingway's sister Marcelline. The Foundation also maintains a museum a block away, with photos and artifacts. I do have to wonder what Hemingway might have to say about the fervency of his local admirers. He certainly said many irreverent, puncturing things, though he also said things that feed right into the Mythologizing of the Great Macho Writer (who did not care for his first name, by the way, because of the Oscar Wilde title).
Here are a few Hemingway quotes that resonate with me, while wandering the leafy, wide-lawned streets, on my brief ad hoc literary appreciation & walking tour:
--All stories, if continued far enough, end in death, and he is not a true-story teller who would keep that from you.
-- There isn't any symbolism. The sea is the sea. the old man is an old man. The boy is a boy and the fish is a fish. The shark is all sharks, no better and no worse. All the symbolism that people say is shit. What goes beyond is what you see beyond when you know.
-- The most solid advice for a writer is this, I think: Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.
