Photo 101 – Day 20: Contrast (Part Two)
In response to today’s assignment of contrast, two models in black and white.
Now that Blogging University – Photo 101 is coming to a close, I offer a thought that we are all triumphant in our endeavor to complete this course. For myself, I’d enjoyed the comments, the photos , the artistic endeavors, imaginations of all the participants. A parting word:
The little dissatisfaction
which every artist feels at the completion of a work
forms the germ of a new work. – Berthold Auerbach
So keep on imaging, keep on clicking, keep on blogging. Enjoy.
Photo 101- Day 20: Triumph (Part One)
Life has meaning only in the struggle.
Triumph or defeat is in the hands of the Gods.
So let us celebrate the struggle! – Stevie Wonder
This little boy didn’t have a basketball so he used a soccer ball instead. Eventually he did get one in. I watched him a for a few minutes until his friends took the soccer ball from him to kick around.
Photo 101 – Day 19: Double & Rotation
This assignment of the Double Mint Gum commercial were everything was like seeing double. So two lotus flowers in bloom.
Policemen patrolling the park. If we see two policemen, then are we doubly protected?
Photo 101 – Day 18: Edge & Alignment
Bird on the edge. I am not sure what the bird is standing on but it appear to be an elaborate piping of a fountain.
Photo 101 – Day 16: Treasure & Close-up
My first camera was a Kodak 110 camera. It was a great camera for a ten year old who just wanted to point and shoot. I really didn’t get serious with photography until I took my first photography class in high school. Even then I always wanted to take pictures of people on the street and I didn’t want want them to know so I didn’t get close to my subject.
Fast forward many decades, my camera has zoom and also I did get a zoom lens with greater capability. Still, I really don’t want to get close to my subject and I really don’t want to take pictures that everybody else is taking. Case in point, like this photo of other people getting close to the baby to take the picture.
However I got over my dislike of getting close to my subject. I just have to go about it differently. Here is a box of lucky money they were selling for Chinese New Year.
Photo 101- Day 17: Glass; Squared
Glass is very interesting. You can see things very differently from glass. Then you can also see things clearly.
Reflections are even more interesting. In response to the assignment today, I give you reflections.
Here is another take on reflection.
On the left side is the actual neon reindeer, while on the right side is the reflection of the same neon reindeer.
Color your World – Red
A kindred spirit in the traditional Chinese red cheongsam also photographing the street. Even her companion is in red.
Photo 101 – Weekend 3
The neighborhood has become an arty place especially for graffiti and murals. Some pieces are permanent and some were painted over. Here are some of my favorites.
These have been painted over. Maybe in a few months they will paint other master pieces.
