For Advanced Techniques, an Audio Sideshow.

Found this via my usual perusing of SportsShooter and the like.
"Kids Off The Corners"

What do you think?

I like it. It would not win a Pulitzer, but its fun, it keeps a good pace, my attention, nice mix of the audio and ambient audio, and is a good slice of life.

Favorite Copy Stand Photo 'Lighting How-To'

This photo is posted for educational purposes, it will be removed at the conclusion of my courswork. Image from World Press 2007 Book. I am curious how it was lit, with a single light source or multiple and/or reflectors.

Favorite Copy Stand Photo 'Mood Lighting':


This is an excellent shot with not only a wonderful vantage point that makes the viewer feel as if they are amongst the crowd clashing with the police, but it also has a dark tone and feel to it, almost Apocalyptic.

Carnival

So we had a small carnival in town as part of a fund raiser for the Redondo Cross Country team. It was the first year they have done something like this and I give them a lot of credit for a good event. Went down to grab a few frames for the weekly paper, The Easy Reader, go to see some old friends and make conversation. It was good. Talked with some carnies who were not terribly scary and then wondered aloud what happened to all the Gold Fish who were not won as prizes... may they RIP in the Santa Monica Bay.

Anywhoot.. pictures... this was under a red XC tent.. so yes, it really was that red and not just me being all myspace-astsy



Redondo junior Chloe Curtis paints an octopus on the face of her friend Alex Lowe in order to raise money for the Redondo High School Cross Country team.

Yeah Yeah Yeah.. I know my composition leaves a little something to be desired, but I like the little moment there... something that I find missing not only from my own images at times, but a lot of work I see nowadays... perhaps it is the most important thing I learned to really look for at Mizzou this semester, I was thinking about it today and on Saturday and have come to the conclusion I need more of them.

So anyways, enjoy, thoughts and ramblings or even shameless self promotion [that is your cue Will and Stuart]. See you all back in CoMo for my 20th Birthday :)
