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)

Monstrous and Monotone

Above we have one of the many fountains that are scattered throughout the Gables. This one happens to be on the side of the City Hall building. I'm not quite sure why this fountain isn't up and running, but I'm not going to complain because it left me a nice picture. I had the idea for monstrous before I found this fountain but had no idea what to shoot. I stumbled across this one while working another idea (more on that tomorrow). I decided to convert this one to monotone because I love how concrete structures convert into monotone so well.
