For my next Photoshop project, we have to create a narrative/theme in a series of 4-6 images. I wanted to use this assignment as an excuse to expand my levitation series. Typically, I make the person floating very apparent through a wide depth of field. With this project, I wanted to go in the polar opposite direction and make the floating person appear part of daily life -- make it ordinary. I wanted to cram the images with people/things in order for you to be overwhelmed by what you were processing and just haphazardly find someone whose feet weren't touching the ground. True, some images are more successful than others, but I feel like this project has made me exercise other options for my levitating theme.
This photo has been added for the DPS assignment: Machinery.
This is some kind of hydraulic machine in the marseille harbour, France.

these are photos from my daughter's $20 disney princess camera that I took at the "assignment houston" meetup at the Houston Museum of Natural Science on Jul. 13
Today I took the camera into Sleaford and visited the National Centre for Craft & Design, formerly known as The Hub.
There is a sign in the entrance which says:'This building was formerly a seed warehouse. It still is'.
They have a wide range of exhibitions that change regularly throughout the year as well as a shop and coffee shop.
They were setting up a new exhibition, in the main gallery - a 2-storey space - which I must go to see when it's finished. It's called Plexus No 10: Materialising the structure of light by Gabriel Dawe.

and several other shots of the building in my Assignment 2 set here:
Take something from around the house; whatever you like.
Have a really good look at it. Visualise a way of photographing the object in an artistic way. The choice is yours as to what you want to say about the object.
Think of the setting, light, brightness, contrast, colour and composition.
Now make the photo you visualised.
Assignment 52 -- Home Town Tourist Attractions -- The Write Inn & Hemmingway's Bistro, Oak Park, IL
Hemingway wrote: "Never go on trips with anyone you do not love," which seems like good advice, if traveling to Oak Park, or anywhere else.
I don't know what he thought about puns, or intentional misspellings, or if he would have wanted to try a flirtini martini. But I know what he wrote about oysters and about wine, so I'm sure he'd at least appreciate Hemmingway's wine list and oyster bar:
-- As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture...I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and to make plans.
--Wine is one of the most civilized things in the world and one of the most natural things of the world that has been brought to the greatest perfection, and it offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than, possibly, any other purely sensory thing.
And I think he must have had an appreciation of comfortable hotels also, as shown in this lovely passage:
--That night at the hotel, in our room with the long empty hall outside and our shoes outside the door, a thick carpet on the floor of the room, outside the windows the rain falling and in the room light and pleasant and cheerful, then the light out and it exciting with smooth sheets and the bed comfortable, feeling that we had come home, feeling no longer alone,waking in the night to find the other one there, and not gone away, all other things were unreal.
Photo shoot we had for our advertising assignment.
The advertisement is to promote Marc Jacob's perfume, Lola.
The ropes were cutting my wrists like so many knives, but all I could think about was that damn bat, coming down on me relentlessly like the rain that had been pounding the city for what seemed like years. I had to find a way out...

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.
Active Assignment Weekly: Capture the season
The Assignment: Capture a shot that represents the season you are NOW experiencing. What best represents the weather for the week of November 7-14? No setup shots or still-lifes. For example, don't show a doll in a bathing suit and say it's summer. These shots should be environmental. It's okay to have people in your photo.
WIT: At this point, we are finishing our raking and waiting for the snow to fly. Increased contrast and saturation.
Active Assignment Weekly 8-15 May 2017: Commemoration.
As a Brit living and working in Zambia, I find that all the commemoration is of the Zambians struggle for independence from the British. This is the Freedom Statue where all the major state occasions are held. The story of the statue and the guy depicted, Zanco Mpundu Mutembo, is here www.facebook.com/ComradeMukubesaMundia/posts/108750655802...
The statue backs onto a rather boring government office block.
WIT: This one I left in colour, with more of the office block visible.

In addition to the floor lamp on the right i handheld a gridded SB-28 in my left hand, aimed at Ida's face.
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.
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.
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: "Dramatic Lighting"
Since this group is all about improvement, I'm submitting this as an improvement over the other one. I think I set this one up a lot better, because I understood the light more.
And like my fury fellow here, I just love attention and comments :>)
Assignment 52 -- On the Street Where You Live
This man's decorative style has kept me entertained for years:

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!
