Bonus Points

Today I discovered my work posted on my photo professor's blog. Two(!) of my photos were listed under her favorites from the semester. I am honored.

As A Reminder

And because my posts have been so sporadic, I would like to say again that I have a tumblr for a semester long assignment. There is an everyday picture from my everyday life. It is incredible what a little grade incentive can do to keep me honest in this project - I haven't missed a day yet. Please check it out and let me know what you think.

B&W

The latest installment to my photo assignments started off extremely stressful. The only guidelines were that the photos had to be black and white. I really had to focus on what it is that I'm attracted to... it took awhile to define that... Turns out it boils down to discarded/abandoned/neglected junk. Not only am I attracted to that stuff, but I like to give it life. I took portraits of junk for this assignment. And I am very proud how it turned out - so much so that I'm posting here before I submit the assignment to class this evening. Enjoy!

And That's the Way It Is, Bub

For the second photo assignment, the class was asked to take portraits and landscapes. I enjoyed taking the portraits, but the landscapes served to be quite the un-enchanting focus. Here are my final selects.





Special shout out to my aunt for allowing me to follow her around for quite a few hours while perusing various Goodwills. I really enjoyed the experience.
