For my birthday I recently received the book Learning To Love You More by Harrell Fletcher and Miranda July. It is a book of artistic assignments that you can turn to if your creative well has run dry and you would rather someone just tell you what to do. That in itself can be a particularly freeing experience.
The catalyst for this image is Assignment 55: Photograph a Significant Outfit. Although the exact instructions call for you to photograph what you were wearing during a significant moment in your life, I tend to think of these clothes as a time capsule which immediately teleports me back to 1978. Plus learning to do The Hustle just doesn't qualify as a significant moment! ;-)
To complete the ensemble you must visualize a few items that I've lost along the way:
1. Puka shell necklace
2. Brown patent leather boots (you know, the ones that zip up the side)
For those of you who weren't born yet (or still in diapers) in 1978, Jimmy Carter was president, the movie Saturday Night Fever was a box office smash, the Bee Gees dominated the pop air waves and everyone was deceived into thinking that John Travolta was an excellent dancer... I guess a some things never change!
Don't ask me why I still keep these clothes tucked away in the back of my closet. Even if I could lose enough weight to fit into them again, I wouldn't be caught dead wearing them in public. I guess it's just something I bring out every few years to look at when I need a good laugh. Also, the great thing about polyester is that they look just as good today as they day I bought them!
When we disconnect from the source of the conveniences in our lives, whether they are as simple as switching on a light or as complex as bringing food to table, we lose a little bit of our appreciation for the amazing complexity of the world.
Nothing special about this one; I was playing with the 50 mm lens and depth of field.
Assignment - Light : This is the second in a series of assignments that I am working on with my friend Colorblindpicasso. We started a monthly photographic assignment to challenge ourselves to become better photographers, both technically and artistically. In this case, he's got me beat. Not only are his photos for the assignment awesome, he also got them in on time :)

Strobist umbrella specular assignment. Set-up pretty much as the assignment says, except i don't have an umbrella, so the flash is bare. It's about a meter from the background, up and right.
edit: looks like this is going to be the best i manage: final-ed.
The bare flash brings out the sweaty and gnarled complexion this assignment's been causing... The focus is a little off too, but then the assignment has been having that effect as well.

My daughter painted a "weather rock" this week during Spring Break. When we got home this afternoon, it was a little rainy and dreary, and when I saw the rock on our porch, I thought it would be a perfect fit for this assignment.
This girl was sitting on the pavement outside our office all day. Sometimes she took a photo and sometimes she made notes.
Eventually I gave in and asked what was going on. Apparently she is a student at the media studies centre (or whatever the old printers' college at Elephant & Castle is called now) and was on an assignment.
Everyone in the class was given a different location where they had to go and stay for 5 hours "soaking up the atmosphere" and observing. I could not work out exactly what the end result of all this was to be, except possibly lung disease from 5 hours of soaking up exhaust fumes.
So... if anyone else in Lambeth/Southwark spotted a lonely figure hanging around the same spot all day today, it could well have been another media studies student.
Students from all academic levels suffer from hypertension and anxiety for completing their assignments before the submission deadline. With new surroundings in college and increased social interactions, students often procrastinate and postpone assignment writing to the last hour. And to add to the mayhem, many students don’t really know how to write an assignment properly. But knowing how to write an assignment with a logical structure and apt outline of introduction, opinion/s and conclusion; is highly imperative. Be it in college or school, students should be familiar with and have knowledge on how to write an assignment by keeping all specifications in mind. CFS’s guide on How to write an assignment includes many tips and tricks of the trade. To gain helpful tips by CFS, watch the video How To Write An Assignment> Assignment Writing Tips on CFS’s exclusive YouTube channel.

Which road to follow....
Very appropriate considering I'm right in the middle of planning the route for our next trip.
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
Assignment 3 was called "Made to Be Photographed." I decided to use this opportunity to vent my frustration with the current situation in our public education system.

Assignment 52 -- Bokeh -- my first experiment with shaped bokeh
I'd never done anything like this before, & did a lot of fooling around to get the right-sized stencil for my lens opening before anything worked at all. It was interesting to me, though, as it helped me understand more about aperture & light. I think I also made this more challenging for my initial attempt by choosing a complex shape, harder to make come out recognizably.

Active Assignment Weekly Feb. 11 - 18: The Colour of Beauty
WIT: This is my jewelry tree, upon which hangs only a small fraction of my earrings. In order to hang all my earrings up, I would need a jewelry forest, I'm afraid! I set it on one of my favourite scarves, as I was going for an "antique" colour palette. The light came from the window, which reflected well on the white branches of the tree, since there wasn't that much light coming in, as you can see by the darker background. In post, adjusted the colours just a little, and cropped to 8 by 10.
Assignment 52 -- Home Town Tourist Attractions -- World War I Memorial, in Scoville Park, Oak Park, IL, a few blocks south of the Hemingway Birthplace
When this monument was dedicated, in 1925, Hemingway was already in Paris, living the cafe expatriate life, married to his first wife Hadley Richardson, and working on his first novel, The Sun Also Rises, published the following year.
But his war experiences shaped much of his fiction and also his world view. He was hardly out of high school, when he volunteered as an ambulance driver on the Italian front in World War I. After he was severely wounded, he returned to Oak Park to recuperate. And decades later, during the Spanish Civil War and World War II, he worked as a journalist in combat zones.
Here are a few of the things he had to say about war:
--World War I was the most colossal, murderous, mismanaged butchery that had ever taken place on earth. Any writer who said otherwise lied. So the writers either wrote propaganda, or shut up, or fought.
--Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime.
--No catalogue of horrors ever kept man from war. Before the war, you always think that it's not you who will die... In modern war, there is nothing sweet or fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason.

Active Assignment Weekly
For this week's assignment you need to"Frame" your subject with something natural or staged...But..Not with Photoshop or one of those other funky programs.
Restriction: No imported frame.
Dare:Take the assignment literally.
Well I headed out to work on this assignment but my dogs were not cooperating. So I figured I'd make the pups model for me another day and try to combine the weekly and monthly assignments together.
I wanted it to look as though it was a picture hanging up and the glass being broken and liquefying.
WIT: I rotated it 90 degrees in Picasa and adjusted the lighting.
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.
The DREAM Act restores every student's right to finish her/his studies and to continue dreaming.
WRITE YOUR OPINION.
I used an aperture of f/7.1, a shutter speed of 1/125 sec, and an ISO of 200. I used the normal 18-55mm lens and I shot at a 47mm focal length. I used natural lighting with no modifiers. My thoughts when capturing this image was to get the beauty of the subject as well as the beauty of the background. This photo stands out from the crowd because it is a simple portrait, but the color of her clothes and the blurred out trees in the background add to it. My image communicates the beauty of nature.
Assignments from an online class - Gesture Drawing at Schoolism - taught by Pixar Story Artist, Alex Woo.
The first assignment I've received this year in my industrial location class was the architecture assignment.
Basically, we had to go out and find a building that had a majority of the windows lit and photograph it.
Interesting mini story:
Right after I finished photographing this, I fell knee deep into a sewer in downtown Toronto.
All in all, this was a good experience.

Swarali Photo Assignment (November, 2015)

Place:Redmond

File:DSC_7052.jpg
I used Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 to edit my photos for this assignment. I do have some simple editing techniques with editing, but this assignment I went with what I could do best for the photo and just did simple editing to enhance the photos life with color. I just came back from Kauai about 3 days ago, and this was a beautiful water fall that I took a picture of. I felt the photo was too bright, didn't show enough of the blue sky and green that flourished in the plants. I messed and adjusted with the exposure, brightness, temperature, highlights, sharpness, and shadows. I feel bringing the highlights up more made the blue sky pop. The saturation made the color brighter with the sky and greenery. The sharpness helped show the formation of the trees better. The meaning of the photo is to sit back and relax and take in the green atmosphere.
