Action Shots = Priceless

I personally think that action shots are well priceless, when you get real, true, raw human emotion without staging and pretending. So always have your camera out, because you never know when your friend is going to do something funny (which you can photograph and make them regret later)

Tis the Season: Favorite photos

(Left) This is my favorite picture of Christmas.
Christmas is a special time for my family because Christmas Eve (24) is my Grandpa Tim's birthday. Christmas Day of course, then the day after Christmas (26) is my dad's birthday.
Pictured above is Christmas dinner, paella. It is a Spainish dish of rice, chicken, pork, clams, osters, lobsters, and sausage. YUM!

Personality

The best subject to shoot is someone (or something) with personality!

Little Flower

Oh little flower, little flower all alone
Hear me little flower, though my voice is rather drone
Jump up into the sky, for the air is rather sweet
To sway in the wind and land at someone's feet.
So you see little flower, little flower all alone
You will find love, and the love will be your own.

Photography Project:Motion

I had a photography project due today. The project: motion. We had to take a picture of panning, where the subject is blurry, and there is a horizontal blurr in the background.


Then I had to take a picture of stop motion, where the background is clear, and the subject is clear and stopped in motion.

The last form of motion, is when the background is clear, but the subject is blurry.

Sidewalks

Don't you love sidewalks?
I always wonder about all the people who have walked on them.
What were they doing? Where were they going?
Were they good people?
I also always wonder about the land, before the sidewalk was built.
Had the land around it been a farm? Or was it a forest?

A sidewalk is very much like a palimpsest,
if let alone, nature would take over. Weeds would grow through the cracks, and grass would consume the pavement. Within ten years, the cement would be completely hidden under earth and brush.
What a wonderful thing nature is, palimpsest.

Deep in thought,
Kathleen
