homework ('cause christina asked)
the assignment was a simple, artistic shot of something complex. i missed the mark a bit though i love the light in the shot. but there is still time to try again. actually i submitted this shot in black & white (you can see it on my flickr.)
i had missed the previous week when tony was sick and so i didn't hear the lecture - part of why i missed the mark on with this shot. but, it's a good reason why attending classes is so much better than the notes.
this week's assignment will have everyone scrambling..it's creativity...the act of making "something" out of "nothing" which was the first definition of creation......talk about getting your thinking cap going. i have a couple of ideas now, as always, is having the time and the resources to take concepts to reality.
and in other news....my new macro arrived in time for my birthday. so i thought i would share my favorites from last sunday's non-class shots.
Happy Birthday, my friend. So glad your new lens has come. I hope everything feels better now. These water drops are perfect. And I adore the vase.

Ooo, I like. Very nice.
ReplyDeletelove the photos....
ReplyDeletedid you get a 50mm or 100mm....and is that what fell and broke in the first place ?
i got a 60mm f/2.8 to replace my 100mm f/2.8 - i like the shorter lens but it is a pain to sometimes focus it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. Dont' you love the way school/education pushes one to think just a little more, or differently, stretching our thoughts a bit?
ReplyDeletethe dew is amazing! guess i should use our macro more:/
ReplyDeleteLove your new macro. Wow the colors it captures. I also really like those textures of your friends - and of course I love dogs too! How sweet is that.
