The world is full of big things, everyone wants to go bigger whether it be buildings or sculptures. In our world, bigger has become better. Imagine a world where even the smallest details mattered. Veins of leaves, the wings of bees, or the smallest creases in the leather of a boot all have a […]
For digital photography I have decided to do a macro photography series for my final project. I am still working on the details of the project, but the general idea will be a series of distinct images that showcase what macro photography can do. I have to complete my project by July 22. I think […]
"Take 50 shots of light, reflections and shadow, select 5"
"Take 36 shots of an object, select 6" "Take an image twice, once centered, and then once in a ‘sweetspot’" "Focus as close as you can to an object" (didn’t do this one to its fullest, just because I didn’t want another stamen shot)
I hate my time-of-day pictures from my project this weekend. I think they are redundant and boring.

Normally this would be a relaxing environment that is pleasant to photo…but this week I need things in motion to make my photography assignment work. The most dynamic and moving […]
I have been waiting for a package to arrive from Orion for the past 8 days, today it arrived. From another place, Adorama, I ordered a part as well, it arrived on Tuesday. I ordered both parts on the same day, believing that the parts were compatible parts that needed each other to function. The […]
