Photo 365 - On Assignment

Hello There Everyone and Welcome to the Blog

I have three sets of photos here. The first is my photo project (the original page) entitled Photo 365 - On Assignment. It was a spin on a 365 photo project. I love the idea of the 365 project, but I needed a little more structure. I also needed some help getting out of my photographic comfort zone. I decided to take suggestions for monthly themes from the people around me and those who view my photos. I finished the project on January 15th, but please feel free to go back and enjoy my year in pictures.

The second page is dedicated to my favorite photographic subject, nature. Right now that page contains just photos I have taken in Everglades National Park. I just finished updating it, adding more photos, captions, and common and scientific names for all the shots. Please enjoy!

The third page is from the second UM Spring Football game in 2010. This was my first foray into sports photography. I was "working" this event with a friend of mine who blogs for a Hurricane's sports blog. All the shots came from the stands because we didn't have sideline passes, but I still got some decent shots. I hope to update this page with shots from this year's spring game. Go Canes!

Enjoy the blog!

Photo 365 - On Assignment - January (My Choice)

An eye to the future...

I have reached the end of Project 365 and what a long road it has been.  Technically my 365th picture was yesterday, but I wanted to begin and end on my birthday and here we are.  This project has absolutely helped push me to try new types of photography and I feel I have become a better photographer for it.  Incase you are wondering, I have shot over 4,000 pictures for this project and have photographed in four different states.  I do not plan on starting another 365 for this year, but I definitely plan on doing a few smaller projects throughout the year, so please check back often for new updates (I took over 200 pictures in the Everglades this morning...). 

Hope everyone has enjoyed this project!

Cross Country Minifig

350 pictures down and only 15 more to go.  I have 320 up on this blog, this originally started out on Facebook, but I decided to start the blog shortly into the project.  I spent the second half of last January doing pictures of my choice before taking requests in February, and now I finish the first half of this January again doing my choice of picture.  Hope everyone has enjoyed the project, I know I have!

"Some people say a mime is a terrible thing to waste... the Empire disagrees!"  (November:  Minifigs)

November's theme was minifigs and it was definitely the one theme I had the most fun with.  I was able to find some of the Series 2 minifigs while Christmas shopping yesterday and I managed to snag a mime.  The snow troopers and pilot don't like him...
