Taken for AAW: Beautiful Mistake
As I drove into the parking garage at my office, there were two people casting great shadows in the early morning light blasting in here. I pulled over and got my camera out as fast as I could, but not fast enough. You can just barely make out the two people in the shadows to the right. SOOC.

I chose to focus on getting close to my subject and finding patterns. This is a very large painting currently hanging in my apartment and this picture is only a very small portion of it. However, it fully represents what the rest of the painting is like.

This is my 18th photo for an assignment at IADT in my Photography class. I decided to apply the Rule of Thirds to this composition. Also, I worked a lot with the Channel Mixer to create a color scheme that I believe is much more interesting than the original.
Assignment 52: Black & White Photography
Mostly I'm reveling in all the colors of spring after a long grey winter here. But thinking of Weston, Cunningham, Mapplethorpe---why not try to take a white tulip?

Always the way. This morning, still trying to come up with shot, this evening have to narrow it down from over 100! *eye roll* I need to learn to not take so many photos. Now I have to choose...... feel free to nominate you fav :) Cheers!
This one is slightly out of focus I think(or I've had one too many wines), the breeze must have turned it just as I clicked.

In addition to the floor lamp on the right i handheld a gridded SB-28 in my left hand, aimed at Ida's face.
Ashley's assignment on ritual. Peyton and I switched speech patterns. (In the documentation, both Eric and Ashley interrupted us, so please ignore the middle bit).
Active Assignment Weekly: Aug 29-Sep 5 Time
With fall coming upon the northern hemisphere and spring just around the corner for those down south there is a sense of "where has the time gone?" For this assignment you are to capture an image that conveys time. This could be done through a literal approach of a clock, or perhaps something a bit more interpretive such as showing that time has moved by.
Dare: Fill the frame with your subject.
Restriction: Keep the post processing to a minimum.
WIT: Evening stroll along the lakeshore taken during our Labor Day camping trip. Thought that the long time sitting of this rescue boat made a nice subject for the passing of time. Shot at F/2.8, 1/100 sec, ISO 400. CS4 processing included curves for contrast, slight noise reduction, resize, sharpen.
Assignment 52 -- Painting with light
Visions of the Green Fairy were said to come to those who drank quantities. I haven't seen the Fairy yet myself. This light painting was done with the flame of a fireplace lighter.

Tree roots and sedges being lit with an umbrella and a snoot. I deliberately over lit sedge in foreground, just for the exercise
This assignment for my photography class at IADT called for taking pictures of each of the letters of the alphabet wherever I could find them. Then, I was to crop each of them into a 2" square and arrange them on an 11" x 17" document. I thought the assignment was kind of silly at first. But, now I think it came out pretty cool. I might take some of these letters and spell something on another composition when I have time.
As we announced yesterday, our new assignment reflects the work of Vivian Maier. Please post your (new!) photos between Feb 1 - 22 and use the hashtag #vivianmaierassignment.
JUNKYARD TREASURES: Maier was fascinated by what others might consider junk. So its ironic that her work was only discovered when John Maloof bought a box of photos at a flea market auction. Go find that hidden treasure that is usually overlooked - be it at the bottom of a bin, a local flea market or an estate sale.
I’M SORT OF A SPY (x2): Meander through the streets of your hometown and look - really LOOK. What catches your eye? An interesting outfit or posture? A group of people waiting for a bus? A couple holding hands at the street light? The legs of mother and child in a shop? We’re sure you’ll come up with an excellent shot. No wait - make that two! It’s the VM classic, after all.
IN THE NEWS: Vivian Maier was fascinated by the news - especially when they highlighted the folly of humanity. She also horded newspapers. For this assignment, set up a photo that has a newspaper or headline of sorts in it.
MANGLED MANNEQUIN: Next time you go window-shopping ignore the clothes and look at the mannequins. Lop-sided? Disassembled? Naked? You’ve got your shot.
MIRROR MIRROR: The classic VM selfie. Come on, we couldn’t do a Vivian Maier assignment and not have this one in there. Find something shiny and let us see a reflection of you and your camera. Shadow and smile optional.
BONUS ASSIGNMENT: A picture that no one will see: Take it, have it developed, don’t show it to anyone. Stash it away in a box. Post a photo of the box.
Please be kind and respectful when doing street photography. Vivian Maier was not just an exceptional photographer - she has also been described as “imposing and rude”. Don’t be inspired by that.
Remember: Only post new (mobile) photos, and only tag one per assignment. You can tag your outtakes with #vivianmaierassignment_outtake, though.
By the way - We’re not checking if you finish all 6 assignments, so don’t be discouraged if you can’t finish. The main thing is to start playing and have fun!
Assignment: "Homelife: Chores" March 30 - April 13
Checking and making sure the garbage got taken out. We missed it the last two weeks and now it's full of dirty diapers... Eeeww...
Shot for: fotoplayers.blogspot.com/
I asked some people to shoot something for my first assignment but no one had any time so I decided to do it on my own. In my opinion "doing something" doesn't always have to involve a lot of action. Because of this I chose to shoot one of the activities I really used to do pretty often. This is waht a perfect evening would have looked like until recently. Hopefully I will be able to get back into reading again soon.
This shot includes a book cover which might insult some people. For those people I have to say that this is not a book that is glorifying Nazis but it is about how the world would look like if the Nazis would have won WWII (The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick). I really love to read about strongly polarising and controversial topics which you have to think about and I also enjoy a good glass of wine from time to time.
