For two years I worked on a story about the disappearance of the African-American tobacco farmer. Every time I was at my subjects farm, I spent hours in his barn covered in tobacco dust, coughing and wheezing. I never thought I would long to return, but the days I spent with him and his wife in that barn were some of the most relaxing times I ever got to share with other people. I hope to return one day and follow up the story.
cwd2821 ~ Sand Whether it's on a beach, in a sandbox, or somewhere else entirely, you can take some pretty interesting photos of sand. Go for it.
Today I attended the finals of the 4th Annual Wake Boarder Competition at Freeman Lake in Elizabethtown, Kentucky. What a great time and beautiful weather. I only got to see the Main Event Competition.
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!
The camera was in Sport Mode and the photo stats says the exposure was 1/1000. I know that we usually see the wake boarder flipping but the spray of the water off the board is a blur to the naked eye.
Hope this fits the assignment. If not, you will let me know. But please enjoy it just because of the ability of the wake boarder. I was very impressed of their talent and fearlessness. There are a few more wake board images on my flickr page.
From Civil War Days at the Naperville Settlement in May 2016. (getting caught up on processing some older images)
Auburn Professor Kelly Dunning plans to co-author a scientific study examining governance of chronic wasting disease and how governance varies according to states and regions. (Photo by Terry Kreeger, Wyoming Game and Fish and Chronic Wasting Disease Alliance.)
This is a part of Astana, the capital city of Kazakhstan. Astana is mental. It's built on flat land, and most of it has been pulled out in the last 10-15 years since it became the capital city. As a result, it's very modern but also kind of eerie, with not as many people as you'd expect. There are a few super crazy buildings (see those on the left? They're nothing.) The water is the river Ishym.
cwd1222 ~ Cityscape - Photograph a city. And make it interesting. This is another submission from during my business trip, glad I went to one city that has nothing but "scapes", though unfortunately I had no elevated point to take a full picture from.
cwd // assignment : smoke (this is harder than i thought it would be. i wasn't happy with any of the shots. but at least this one has a fun curly thingy.)
I am leaning towards this for the 'high key' assignment because of the partly 'eaten' up corner of the cup due to over exposure and the slight shadows that can still be seen.
My other attempts here and here.
cwd1051 - Color High Key - We've done high key before, but never (strictly) in color. Many people think of high key as a B&W thing (I know I usually do), but it doesn't have to be. Remember to plan ahead and over-expose the shot -- it'll make your editing life easier!
A CWD 2-8-2 performs a runpast for the cameras somewhere near Shorkott, if my memory serves. 16th February 1988. The cyclist was bribed to stay put.
cwd 221 eyes.
(he's not photoshopped in, either. I wanted to go out and get a horses eye for the assignment, but it ended up not happening, and since I knew I would have trouble keeping a reflection out of my eye I decided I would choose what would be reflected.)
I've had a rough week. So I gathered every bit of inspiration I could gather. Old love letters. Plays, scores, pieces I've written, pieces I've loved. This is a love letter to myself - sometimes playful, sometimes morbid.
A note Ieft out of the frame:
You have every right you have the courage to claim.
cwd201: Text - The subject of the photo must be text (letters and/or numbers in any language). The text must be photographed, not added in post-processing.
For Take a class with Dave and Dave: The natural frame .One of the best techniques for adding interest to an image is to have your subject framed by something on the edge of the image.

Just thought I would upload the rest of the rejects from my CWD photo shoot. I think I have more to edit but I think for now, I won't! Maybe something fun to look into later.
For the Photographer's Choice assignment in the Class With Daves.
I know this is the assignment where everybody pulls out their big guns and shows what they can really do. Me? I shot crap all week. ;-)
But I rarely end up liking the shots I do for the assignments, and I like this one. And yes, I can already see where improvement could happen. Things like this though, I love because of memories- which I can usually only half remember. Like back when I was smaller, playing in the yard during the heat of the summer with a water hose... I'm not sure exactly, but it makes me happy to think about.
Explore.
