Lessons Learned

Photo class wraped up Saturday. Bittersweet. Good to be moving on but I will miss the classmates and guidance of our instructor. Our final assignment was to place together a string of pictures that formed the basis of a story. While I was happy with my final images, I think they were among the weakest. Several images and story lines were really well done. But at the end off the day the process was more important than the results. With time I am confident that I could expand and develop more compelling frames. But in the end my story is there.

It goes like this...

" O why didn't they let me live another century...

...I am lonely!

Greetings from Asbury Park, NJ

Been a small while since I posted.  But things on the photography front have been actually doing well.  Lots more done and with direction, so this blog post although still a newbie, is on a course.  Photography class has me finishing up a project of pictures with a theme.  I am pretty sure mine will be the sights of Asbury here in the winter.  The assignment should yield between 8 - 10 shots which I will add once complete.  My goal is before Christmas.  Also, I have recruited some help with the whole blog format and appearance, so by Spring we should have a whole new look and feel.  Which should better relate to my pictures.

In the mean time here are two pictures of my son.  The background mural is very interesting.  Back in September the artist Shepard Fairey went around the Boardwalk and created a number of very unique murals.  Wait you need to know who Shepard is?  Everyone has seen his work!  His most famous piece was the Barack Obama Hope poster.  Me, I am more of a fan of Andre the Giant has a Posse period,  but too each his own.  While this one is slightly weather and vandal worn, it was a good balance for my son's winter wardrobe. I am a bigger fan of number two.  I can live with out seeing the Vans on his feet.  I think a little more of the mural enhances the image.  It did wonders for a President!
