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)

Marauders

Third picture of the day and we're back on track. Here we got some mini-marauders invading my patio. These little minifigs are in their two legged walker chilling where my patio wall used to be. I have about 50 shots of these guys and about 45 of them were taken with me holding my camera on the ground, i.e. I wasn't looking through the viewfinder. Some, like this one turned out pretty well. Most of the shots did not work out to well, but hey I got at least a few good ones.

Multitude

And make-up picture number 2, palms, palms, and more palms!! This is the multitude of palms that inhabit one corner of my patio. I like shooting tall subjects from low vantage points, it adds a interesting perspective and sense of scale. Ok, one more pic coming later today.

Meat

So here we have make-up picture number one - Meat. This was the salted meat spread at the post-baptism party this weekend. Soulange and I were having a bit of a "take a picture of random things" seminar and I managed to sneak an "M" picture in there. By the way, this meat was very tasty.
