The Project

Alright well the time has come to bring some traffic to my Flickr account. I have decided to start a photo compilation that will initially be populated over the next 9 weeks during my Winter Work Term. The idea here is to track the progress over a given amount of time to see improvements and to have fun! I will be shooting at least once a week over the next 9 weeks. I may continue this on further but I do not know what my commitment level will be like once I am back at school with other things to prioritize.

I would like to get some feedback from whomever views the set, please do so on Flickr. I do not want to just read things like "they look awesome!!!!!!!:)" or "you are the bestest photog ever" because the idea is to improve, be ruthless, well maybe not ruthless, but give some constructive criticism I am looking for it. I wouldn't share these with anyone, if I didn't want to know what you thought. Tell me what you like, what you don't like, what you think would make it better, ideas on things to shoot etc.

I am doing this to occupy my time as well as to improve my skills and make myself more rounded since it seems like everything I am doing these days involves numbers and science, it will be fun to get to use the more abstract creative side of my brain.

So stay tuned the first set is up that I shot last night in Downtown Buffalo right on the water. I will link the set here every time there is an upload and I would appreciate if you would look and maybe even offer up some opinions. The set is called Winter Work Term Photo Project '10.

Week 5

Monday, Monday, Monday! It is week 5 of this little experiment, we are on the downswing at this point and with that I have come to a few conclusions.:

I always seem to find a great photo spot or that elusive shot at the most in opportune moment. I have started carrying my camera with me everywhere like a paparazzi, to try to prevent these light bulb without a room to light moments.

There is a lot out there, you just have to look a bit harder and be creative. The secret to a great shot isn't a secret at all, they are all over sometimes right in front of your eyes.

Practice makes perfect, I am becoming much more proficient with the operation of my camera. Being able to make just about every adjustment without having to reference the manual is SWEET!

I feel like I am rambling at this point but, this is my blog and not many people read it so you are stuck scrolling a bit farther to see the pics this week...

Enjoy!

    I love the colors and shadowing of the sour patch kids photo. These are great. The phone kind of reminds me of a creepy movie shot at a hotel or something. Congrats on working the camera. :)
