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 - February (Small Things)

White Goose (Anser sp.)

This white goose was being fed some Burger King french fries from a father and son at AD Barnes. The father and son were up on a raised deck that looks over the lake and tossing down pieces of fries. The goose eyed them from about 100 yards away and bee-lined straight for them. It proceeded to get its fill of fries, it looked very happy. While it was being distracted by the food I worked my way down underneath the deck and got up nice and close. The father and son eventually left after which the goose wasn't all that interested in modeling for me and promptly swam away.
