cwd451: Portrait of a Stranger - Walk up to a stranger. Ask them if you can take their picture. This is *not* a candid shot in which the stranger doesn't know you're there. This is a photograph of someone you DO NOT KNOW, taken with their permission.
School girl waiting for the bus. Don't know her, but she was happy to have her photo taken. She even said thank you afterwards! In Sinhala you don't say thank you very often. Course she said it in English so clearly her teacher has provided some culture lessons also on the word's use. The bus came about two seconds after I took this. 1 of 100.
Cheyanne got a Barbie for Christmas and she let Remmy play with her. Barbie is a chef, so they were fighting over who got to play with Barbie and who got to be the "action guy".
cwd1261 ~ Freeze Frame - It's not just a J. Giles Band song...it's a CWD assignment! Capture something that you can't see with your naked eye. Stop motion. Fast shutter speed, baby. No blur!
I have a huge drawer full of cereal packages - (did´nt make an interesting shot...) - we are three in the house and we all like to have different choices for our breakfast... - to give you an example there is Cheerios, Honey Nut, Kellog´s korn flakes, Special K, Bran flakes, Wheetos, regular oatmeal and Müsli... - writing it down makes it sound crazy...
but
never mix sex with cereal!!!
thinking of assignment 1. Cereal. I read an advertisement for a cereal restaurant the other day that said 66% of Americans surveyed said they enjoyed sex, but 94% said they loved cereal! How much do you love cereal? Tag with cwd421
for CWD:
Landscape with a foreground element. The French have a wonderfully obscure term for this technique - repoussoir. It has to do with pushing. Anyway, landscapes can often be a bit boring, putting something in the foreground really helps the viewer get into the image.
I'm thrilled I found something today to work for this assignment. I have a shot with a cool red machine of some sort in it, too, but it sort of overwhelmed the landscape, so I picked this one for the assignment instead.
This was on the grounds of a delightfully abandoned dairy farm I ran across in snohomish, off of highway 9. I'll post the rest of the photos from there today or tomorrow (after I post the rest of the photos from dad's birthday).
Dave told me I should make a gold star mosaic while the number was nice and even, so here you go! ;) Thanks, Dave! Check out Take a Class with Dave and Dave.

cwd2862 ~ Timeless Take a photo that could have been taken at
any point in the history of time, including all the way back to when
the dinosaurs roamed the land. In other words take a photo that shows
no evidence of 'man' whatsoever-- it'll be all natural.
This jungle belongs to whoever owns the old building yard that extends past the bottom of our garden. No humans in here, only birds, insects and the odd fox
Happy Memorial Day Weekend!
Take time to remember!
Take time to reflect!
Take time to enjoy the Freedoms they paid for!

1762 ~ America. What with Memorial Day upon us, there's sure to be some flags flyin' and some generally patriotic stuff going on. Take a cool picture reflecting America. Note: For those outside the States, we're thinking there must be a McDonald's or something nearby. Be creative!
For Take a Class with Dave & Dave. Assignment 1. High key. The "key" of an image describes the nature of the tones presented. In a High key image most of the tones will be brighter than middle gray. Bright background, bright subject, and the dark tones take on a supernatural power to highlight what you want to show.
Thanks to all who assisted with critiques on the images. I appreciate the effort you made to assist me in this project.
The binary numeral system, or base-2 number system, is a numeral system that represents numeric values using two symbols, usually 0 and 1. More specifically, the usual base-2 system is a positional notation with a radix of 2. Owing to its straightforward implementation in electronic circuitry, the binary system is used internally by virtually all modern computers. from Wikipedia
experimenting for cwd181: Technology - It's a huge part of our lives...it's everywhere. But can you make an interesting image based on it? Snapshots of iPods laying on the kitchen table probably don't cut it.
2. Upside Down. I hope I’ve commented before that a photo becomes instantly more interesting when it shows us something the eye cannot normally see. Motion blur, Macro shots, Cutouts, and my personal fave, wide angle. But there’s another way I saw demonstrated at the Met that is often overlooked. Upside Down. The featured picture from the early 20th century showed a view out a third story window of people walking down the street. I became more interesting the instant the artist displayed it upside down. The viewer is disoriented, uneasy. The work succeeds. Create an interesting image by turning the image from your camera upside down. Tag with cwd462.
this beautiful blue thing is one of my favorite objects in the house - now I don´t know if I made it abstract enough to become mysterious... please take a guess though:-)
Assignment #1 - Abstract. From wikipedia: Abstract art is now generally understood to mean art that does not depict objects in the natural world, but instead uses color and form in a non-representational way. You are free to create your abstraction entirely in-camera, in post-processing, or as a combination of the two - cwd141
