Thursday, January 13, 2011: Graffiti in the Rubble


Not sure why I like this photo so much.... Maybe the color and the texture in the rubble juxtaposed against the fence that frames the bottom of the shot

Monday, November 22, 2010: Shooting from the Hip

Shooting from the hip is something done by street photographers and conflict photographers when the photographer does not want the subject to know they are having their picture taken. I try this from time to time, but do not usually come up with much. The downside of shooting from the hip is that you cannot see the view finder from the hip, so I do not use it too often.

Lots of issues with this photo, but that's what makes it such a good "from the hip" shot. First, my lens is still slightly knocked out of place and I unfortunately missed the bike rider's face. Second, why are my fingers in the shot...? Had both these elements been in the shot, it probably would have made an interesting black and white.

This had the potential to be a good shot, but not being able to see the viewfinder really messed me up. More practice :)

Tuesday, September 14, 2010: Scripps Pier

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....
