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 - March (Begins with M)

Meatball

I love meatballs and they start with M!!! So here is a picture of my dinner tonight, before I devoured it. These were actually my first foray into the turkey meatballs and they turned out to be pretty good. Ok, it's been a long weekend so I'm cutting this one short. Let's see what I come up with for this week especially with FCAT all week...

Merlot by 3 Blind Moose

Make-up picture number two - a glass and bottle of Merlot by 3 Blind Moose. I'm gonna count this one as another double M picture since I got Merlot and Moose. I've had this bottle before and completely forgot about it until I was wandering through the merlot section of winn-dixie and saw it - jackpot! I really like this picture because of the reflections in the glass of wine. You can see me..... hmmm...... maybe this should be counted as a triple M picture.

Mangoes

OK, time to make up for Friday and Saturday's lack of pictures... and here we go! Mangoes!! It may not be mango season here in South Florida, but apparently it is in Peru. Here we got some nice mango slices with a couple of whole mangoes behind them. I like the nice red color of the rear mango and the imperfections in its skin. Also I really enjoy getting to eat my subject matter when I'm done with it!!
