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 - April (Water)

Two in the hand.... err... pond

I have come to self realization that I really like reflection pictures. I'm not quite sure why this is but they are still nice photos. I like this little guys beady red eyes, he seems a little demonic. I'm being lazy and not looking up the actual name and species of this bird, so I'm just gonna call him the florida devil duck... probably cooler than his real name anyway.

What do you see?

Sorry for posting Saturday's picture on early Sunday morning, been out and about most of the day. About the picture, I can only imagine what this little guy is looking at... I'm going to assume he is eyeballing his dinner. I love the little droplets of water that have beaded up on his back, very cool.
