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.

Summer Wrap Up

Well as it usually seems to happen summer has come and gone all too fast. There is a very big discrepancy between what I wanted to do and what I did this summer. I was, however, able to get out for a good hike with my beloved sister a few weeks ago on Monadnock Mountain in New Hampshire. It was a nice hike that didn't beat around the bush, the ascent is pretty much straight up the fall line. We couldn't have asked for better weather, it was in the high sixties with bluebird skies pockmarked with clouds.

A note to make, for those interested in making this climb. While it is very accessible from the Boston Metro area, it is a challenging climb. I would rate it as a 7 out of 10, with 1 being a meander down Mass Ave, and 10 being a hand over hand scramble up a steep exposed face. The second half of this hike is quite steep over exposed rock, so not for the faint of heart but well worth the view.
My sister and I, who I would like to think are in above average physical condition, put in a decent amount of effort to attain the summit. That being said it is a short hike, we made the round trip in just under 3 hours, so it is a nice hike without ruining your whole day.

Now onto the pictures,

Enjoy.

    These are awesome, Sam. So glad that we got out. We'll have to do more hiking next summer. I love the last photo on the flickr page - the blues are so vibrant.
