My 12th photo for an assignment at IADT in my Photography class is supposed to be an evening shot. These shadows belong to Haley and her cousin, Devin.
Master of None
I always find a new interest every few months and I'd say I'm sort of like a jack of all trades, master of none. I've like many different things in my past and although I may no longer like them as much as I used to, they're all still a part of who I am. I think all the interests I've had have contributed to my personality and who I am today.

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.

Active Assignment Weekly:
en•joy•ment
–noun
1. the act of enjoying.
2. the possession, use, or occupancy of anything with satisfaction or pleasure
3. a particular form or source of pleasure
I thought it might be nice to have a reasonably broad assignment this week so let’s all attempt to create a photograph that represents enjoyment. It could be absolutely anything that represents something you personally enjoy (permitted by the terms of the group of course!).
Restriction
The photo should convey something that you personally enjoy. So posting a photo of someone else enjoying an ice cream would be no good if you don’t also enjoy eating ice cream. Posting a photo of a pet or child playing would be fine as we can assume you enjoy playing with them. It might be nice to learn a little something that we may not already know about you from your photograph. :)
Dare
To make some kind of change to the shot during post processing that other members of the group may not be able to easily identify. Please indicate if you have taken on the dare when posting your photo so other members will know if they should try to guess what you have changed.
Examples
Please feel free to add any images which you think might help other members with inspiration.
WIT: There's something completely relaxing and satisfying in developing and printing silver geletin prints for me. That said, I really haven't done much lately. This took about an hour of cleaning out the darkroom and setting up trays and moving the light closer. I set up the tripod and took a few exposures on manual to find the right combination, then placed the photo in the tray and shot it with this combination (F/2.8, 0.5 sec exposure, ISO 800). CS4 curves for contrast which actually took out the timer in the foreground, cloned out a distracting reflection, slight rotation, sharpen, resize.
I did do one other step in post processing that I've been finding I like, though it isn't very obvious in this shot.
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).
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.

Active Assignment Weekly: 26 Feb - 5 Mar 2018: Old Photographs
Assignment: Create an "old" photograph. Subject matter is up to you--portraits, architecture, landscape--whatever you like, as long as the finished product looks like a photo that was taken many years ago. How many years ago is up to you, but let's say anything from the 1970's back to the dawn of photography.
Dare:
Be creative with how you go about aging your photo. If you don't have access to an editing program, or even if you're just feeling adventurous, try some non-computer-based "post processing."
Restriction :
No plain B&W - your photo must somehow include colour ( think sepia, yellowed with age, stains, "re-coloured" etc.) Watch out for things that don't belong; for example, a 1920's portrait where the subject is wearing a digital watch.
WIT: The gardens where I work, used Colour Efex Pro to apply an old camera style which yellowed the photo, and added a border. Looks old to me as it reminds me of the poorer composition skills I had in the 1970's!
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!
