Project 365 - Week 11 "Texture"

Here we are at week 11 and I'm ever so slowly starting to get my schedules all caught up and back to regular. For this weeks them I chose to return to the basics. I decided to work on my photography and artistic basics and this weeks them was texture. Texture can sometimes be tricky as it is very reliant on the lighting to get just right. I started off struggling just to find something to focus on, but as the week moved forward my eyes opened up more, not just to the things around me and all of the different textures, but to ways I could be creative with them.

Now, before you go asking though about the first photo, I did say that I was going to return to the Maricopa County Library at the White Tanks and I followed through. It was a beautiful morning and I was able to get some shots that I was really hoping for. With that said, I do hope that everyone enjoys.

Project 365 - Week 10 "Artistic Support"

Hello again everyone. This past week was a tough one that became a fun project. So Sunday, I went to photograph the new county library at the White Tanks only to be there too late to get any shots that I wanted. I managed to get something of the bike racks however so it wasn't a total bust. Come Monday though, I was running a mental block and couldn't figure on anything to do. That's when it dawned on me to do a series of multiple exposure self portraits. It turned out to be fun and helped fill a gap in the middle of the week so that I was able to get my head screwed back on right.

I have to give thanks to my wife Samantha for helping out and supporting me with my photography struggle.

Project 365 - Week 9

Hey everyone. I know this is a late post for this week, but it has been a very hectic weekend, I was barely able to even get any photos taken. Anyways, this week was another that had no theme. I shot what I could when I got the chance. It was an interesting learning experience as it forced me to poke around the places I found myself at a lot, in order to find things to photograph. Anyways, I hate to keep this one short, but its off to take the photo for today.

Project 365 - Week 8

Hey everyone. I must first apologize for the late posting. For this week's theme I went with a fan recommended idea of "Technology." Initially I had thought to do the usual of photographing different pieces of technology that we have today. However, I delved deeper into the idea and decided to instead look into our history and the technologies that we have attained and advanced. My thought was to capture these technologies in either their basic form or our results from said technologies. It was a bit nerve racking at times trying to figure out what to do. Some of my ideas were a struggle while others simply fell flat. But the results are as follows.

Day 50 - Prometheus' Gift

Day 51 - The Next Generation

Day 52 - The War of Currents

Day 53 - The Gutenburg Bible

Day 54 - Stone Age Transport

Day 55 - The Turbinia

Day 56 - Moore's Law
