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)

MacBook

Hey, it's the little magic white thing that makes this blog possible. Not only does it process the pics from my camera but it also gets me on the interwebs!! So far I have posted 23 photos of things that begin with M. All the while I have been using something that starts with M and it never dawned on me. Kind of funny being how much I love my mac. March is quickly coming to an end so send me theme ideas for next month.

Monkeys (of the Woot Variety)

This is actually yesterday's picture, I wasn't home (and awake) long enough at any time yesterday to post. There will be another picture posted later tonight. And on to yesterday's photo...

Sure, I could have gone to Metro Zoo and photographed some monkeys. Even better, I could have gone to Monkey Jungle and photographed any number of monkey species. Heck, I could have even gone to Jungle Island and found a primate or two. But ya know what all these places lack? Woot Monkeys! A very rare species indeed, two individuals inhabit my house and are even on occasion seen outside.
