Updates

My camera is broken. I accidentally dropped it on the concrete floor at home :( There is a dark spot in the upper left corner of every frame. Also, when I turn on the camera, the display vibrates for a while... odd. My warranty expired last month!! :( So I am taking it to Best Buy tomorrow to have the geek squad look at it.

Also, my friend Angela, who works a volunteer coordinator for Volunteer San Diego, informed me that volunteer photographers are needed to document a border clean up project. This will be my first volunteer photographer gig! I am so exicted!

But first I need to get my camera fixed ASAP!!!

Wish me luck!

These photos were taken at Scripps Pier Seaweed tangle
I like the way I was able to catch an old man and a young boy, who both happen to look similar, doing the same thing... It makes a simple pier shot much more interesting.
I love the sky here... The beach was so foggy, but the light kept struggling to shine through....

The textured concrete of the wall in the foreground is in focus, while the objects further away in the shot are blurred. This is a shallow depth of focus.

Lots of sunlight here, slightly underexposed, but it adds to Keeton's youth... I think...

Soft light and shadow here highlight Blaise's bubbly spirit.

And Zoei K is shadowy and slightly over exposed, but I think that adds a lot her pose... tall, reserved, so young, yet so grown up!

Sisters <3

I love that all these photos ... and the many more I didn't post... will be put into refrigerator magnets ... :D

My apologies for the long vacation I have taken from Fotojornalismo.... It's been a crazy past few weeks... But I am back at it and that's what matters...

These photos are from my trip home for the Labor Day weekend. I chose to use landscapes to work on my composition. None of these photos have been cropped or anything.
River in San Marcos... I like the way the reflection on the water came out. I used the silhouette of the trees to frame the photo.
Also at the river.
Fungus among us... Mushroom is placed in the upper, left 2/3 position... Rule of 1/3s
Dusty dirt road... vanishing point and rule of 1/3s used here too...
Solitude... almost breaking the rules here with the objects almost in the center of the photo... But I liked the composition none the less...
Framing again ... A pond on a farm...
I think this is my fave... and it's safe to say I have the rule of 1/3s down... time to move on... Lot's of work to do.
