On Facebook I am running a 52 week photography project. For Week 02, I asked everyone to provide a "Natural/Natural Light" photo.
Join Us!
Seven weeks since my eye surgery to repair a detached retina. The gas bubble then injected in my eye has finally disappeared, and I ran for the first time in two months.
Going out to dinner with a toddler is definitely an adventure full of unexpected possibilities. This time my older 2 were visiting my mom so we got to venture out with just my son. He learned to blow bubbles in his milk and spent a lot of time flirting with the table behind us.

Seems I can't get a shot at this time of year without his huge tongue.
Week 29/52 -
*Hit "L" to make it big!*
Week 29 adds another new face, this time it's my Dad. My Dad, Mike, is a Mason. He started his own business over 35 years ago and has built hundreds of basements, chimneys and dozens of custom homes. He is a bit of a workaholic. Sure he is getting older now but he is still working really hard on building a new house for my Mom and him.
This shot is down in their new basement that is just about complete. I thought, what a better way to introduce my Dad into the series than to get him where is is most comfortable!
Camera:
Canon 7d
Tamron 17-55(2.8)
1/250@F/2.8
ISO 100
Strobist:
1 - Canon 430EXII, 1/16power, zoomed @105mm, inside Cheetah Qbox 24" softbox, on stand camera left, ~ 2' from subject
*triggered with Meike MK-7*
Objective: (Jeremy speak)
For this shot I had something really specific in mind and this was just about it. I wanted to shoot down one of the basement cinder-block walls towards my Dad. What this does is use the joints in the block work to draw the viewers eyes right into the subject. What also helps is having him lean back against the wall so as your eyes go down the wall they quickly intersect the subject. It adds a great perspective and edgy, hard, work feel to the composition.
For lighting, I used my 24" Cheetah Softbox. I aimed it directly at my Dad and had him look right into it. This is the first time I used this type of pose and lighting direction. I wanted the lighting to be centered right on him and allow it to fall back softly onto the block wall. I feel as though this pose and style of light adds a feeling of 'wonder' or 'curiosity' to the picture. It makes the viewer feel as though my Dad is deep in thought and contemplating maybe what's next.
And I used a shallow depth of field with the lens (2.8) to keep as much out of focus as possible to center the attention on him. I then brought up my shutter speed to 1/250 of a second (the highest sync speed when using flash [without going high speed sync]) so I could drown out as much of the ambient light as possible. This was taken around 8am and the sun is just over the wall above his head so it was shining right towards me. I wanted a darker feel to the picture to give it some punch and contrast.
For post processing I added a bunch of graduated filters (dark) to a few edges and angles for more subject attention and I cranked up the clarity and added a bit of sharpening to my Dad in Photoshop. Thanks Dad!

Little late this week, sorry!
I've been working so hard that I've made myself ill. Which I can't afford to be, as I have so much more work to do...
On Wednesday I took the first part of my kayaking 2 star qualification. I received my grade back for my first assessment of the term: not good enough.
I did have a lovely weekend with my boyfriend. We went to the library and worked all of Saturday, but on Sunday we went to the local Zombie run. Wonderful fun! We sat and talked about the future, and travelling: where we have been and where we want to go. The thought of travelling, of moving away, of the inevitable change that is on the horizon, inspired this set of images. In my hands is my travel diary, what I write in about my adventures abroad.
I'm very excited to be going home this coming weekend to visit my family, go horse riding, and catch up with some friends, so no doubt next weeks image will be inspired by home and family.
Have a good week everyone.

week off from work (woohoo!!) making the most of spending most of my time in my oh so cool jim jams hehe :o)
this was her favorite out of the three shots we took. All three shots she was blurry. But they all can't be perfect, that's just not real life.
Is this too much? Have felt for a while now that there must be a photo here somewhere, but I'm not suer I have found it yet. And I had the urge to experiment a little!
This sweet little gal came all the way from Michigan to Maine to my parents friend, Charlie the day before he almost lost his life along with my parents. I met this sweet little gal last Sunday and she brought tears of joy to everyone she met. Dogs have a way of melting your heart and stitching up wounds. So grateful for puppy love and the joy a dog can bring to lighten the mood in any situation.

Week 11 - 18-25 March 2015
This week was always going to be about the Grand Prix. At this year's Australian Grand Prix, I had the chance to shoot from several points around the track. This is my favourite, mainly because of the sparks spurting out from the back. The next time I'll get a chance to shoot a Formula One car will hopefully be at the night Grand Prix in Singapore later in the year. Vrooom! More next week.
This week has been really rough.
My insomnia is taking control of my entire existence.
I feel like this project has become something that stresses me out, not something I enjoy. I feel badly when I can't get my ideas to real life. LIKE THIS PHOTO! Which came out alright, but nothing fantastic.
I wasn't really prepared for this again, I suppose.

Put it off until the last minute and no good ideas :( This was taken with my iPhone looking down into a bottle of Vitamin D-3.
Since we spent the first week of Olive’s summer holiday on vacation at Mimi and Gaigai’s, this week was the first week of summer in our house. Going into it, I knew I had to have a plan for each day, even if that plan was only a craft or activity I knew for certain we’d do. There are so many activity options that I get easily overwhelmed and stagnated without a plan.
I’d say the week was a success! We both had a lot of fun and it was a good start to a fun summer.
Monday: Gymboree and swimming at a friend’s house
Tuesday: Errands and then lunch at Smash Burger with our playgroup
Wednesday: Park with a friend and Rita’s Italian Ice after. Swim lesson at night
Thursday: Art class at Small Hands Big Art and a trip to a shopping center to play on their splashpad
Friday: A play at ImagineOn and Taste of Charlotte
A few weeks ago, Ryan, Olive and I sat down and wrote a summer bucket list. Some of the things on the list are big and might take up the whole day but some are just small rights of passages. We have 33 items on the list and we keep adding to it when we think of something or Olive brings up something she wants to do. We’ve already knocked a few things of the list, and some of them more that once, like making homemade popsicles.
Ryan, of course, has made a Trello board and is always adding and moving cards. We start soccer next week and we’ll be doing two weeks of summer camp, but it’s nice to have a list of activities for the days when we’re not sure what we’re doing. Already, the summer seems to be zooming by. July Fourth is less than a month away and it always feels like summer is over in a blink of an eye after that holiday.
When school starts in the fall, our days will be filled again. School three days a week and swim and dance lessons on the other two days. It’s hard to fit in a random playdate when everyone is so busy. While I want our weeks to be planned out, I also want to have plenty of room in our schedule this summer for spontaneous get-togethers and adventures. If Olive wants to spend the afternoon playing with her dollhouse and barn and train set, then we’ll rearrange plans to accommodate. If a friend asks us to join for a mid-afternoon frozen yogurt treat, I hope we can drop everything and go.
More than anything, I want Olive’s summer to be filled with swimming pools, adventures, mud and paint. I want her to have long evenings of running back and forth from the backyard to the house to set up picnics. I want long sessions of t-ball where she and Finn fight over who gets to the ball. I want books that spark her imagination. I want friends for her to explore and conspire with.
I want this to be her first great summer.
Week 2 'Square'
Taken 07/01/2014
Taking pictures as a hobby, I was challenged this week as I had never heard of 'Hockney style mosaic' or 'the inverse square law' let alone how it works in terms of light. My attempt at a mosaic using a knitted hat with a square button as my subject.
Week 14 : Memory
No matter how much suffering you went through, you never wanted to let go of those memories
― Haruki Murakami
Students learn about world cultures at "We Are One" as part of International Education Week, presented by VISA club and International Student Services on November 15, 2018 in Orlando, Fla.
For week 2 of the Kpop Academy, students were introduced to the Korean language and Hangul, its writing system. After watching a documentary on Hangul and King Sejong, Dr. Yeon of SOAS kindly gave a lecture on Hangul and its origins.
The Kpop Academy is a course that encourages K-pop fans to learn more about the culture of Korea.
COURSE AIMS:
This course aims to give K-pop fans a firm grounding in the history of the development of the K-pop phenomenon – including an understanding of Korea’s history, culture, language, food, etc. It will also allow K-pop fans to develop an understanding of the dynamic relationship between K-pop music and Korean cultural determinants. Moreover, the ‘K-pop Academy’ will help students understand K-pop as both a Korean and a global phenomenon. It will also encourage a more hands-on approach, where students will participate in various activities – for example, cooking a Korean meal. Finally, this course will give students an understanding of the interconnectedness of K-pop as a form of mass entertainment.
