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.

Upside Down

After a brief pause in submitting photos for the Gizmodo Shooting Challenge. I am back this week. The challenge was to take a shot upside down. This shot was not premeditated, I went to check out Niagara Falls this weekend and decided that this shot was my gem. I think every time I look at it I see it in a different perspective so give it a couple of views.

There were some other shots that were keepers from the adventure as well and they are posted below. Included is a shot proving I faced my fears and went out onto the observation deck which I don't care to know how high above the river bed it is, all I know is I wasn't thrilled being out there.

Note: Please excuse the imperfections in some of these shots, there was a bit of mist in the air, there is 6 million cubic feet of water going by per minute after all!

    So awesome, Sam. My mind can't seem to wrap itself around the upside down picture. Amazing. I also love the ice covered view finder. (The picture of you is a great one too).
