Week 3 Assignment Contiuned

Ok, I went to the Southlands Mall today in hopes that people would be out and about because it was such a beautiful day today. There was hardly anyone around. So I got a couple of shots to turn in tomorrow and here they are.

I titled this one "Annoyed"


"Heading back to work"


These people didn't know that I was taking pictures of them, but I have a hard time approaching "strangers" and asking if I can take their picture.

Week 2 Assignment

This week's assignment was to take a picture of light.

These were all fun to take and a fun learning process.

Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography. ~George Eastman

Photo Class

I started my first photo class yesterday and LOVE IT!! It all came rushing back to me from my photo class days over 10 years ago. There were a couple of exceptions in that back then I had a 35mm camera completely manual, and today I have my fancy new digital camera that my wonderful hubby gave me for x-mas! My first assignment or first 4 assignments were so easy to fulfill on day one. But I couldn't stop there, today the light was so good in the house again I HAD to keep going. Here is one of my favorites. Here is to new beginnings just around the corner. First day of Spring is March 20th.



Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. ~Henri Cartier-Bresson
