I am a bad person 2008-11-30 15:02:00 I must be. How often can you hear a normal, decent person
say they single-handedly reduced to silence a highly frequented forum thread of one hundred and forty-six pages, with one post? I should take note and refrain from having my critique requests unleash further death and destruction upon the world.
Then again, at times, I briefly think to myself that maybe my photos were so inspiring, that
Facing my Nemesis 2008-11-24 17:59:00 I'll start by saying that I've always had somewhat of a phobia of taking portraits, mostly because I was never quite sure what to do with my subject, and I suppose on some level, because I'm also not much of a people person.
But then again, my grandpappy used to say - or someone else's, I forget - that one should try everything at least once. And I, being the good granddaughter that I am, now Read more:Facing
Milestones, statistics and critiques, oh my! 2008-11-23 00:51:00 Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and what a fine morning it is! The sun is shining gleefully in the sky, birds are singing perched up in the trees, and the joyful presence of unique visitor number one hundred was bestowed last night upon my humble little corner of the Internet. Joy to the world, I have an audience! Gosh, I suppose I'd better watch what I say from now on.
And we now return to
Back to school 2008-11-22 05:45:00 Remember when I told you about my epiphany that maybe I could figure out just what makes a good photograph tick, if only I'd start by taking a good long look at each gear? No? Well it may have been something along those lines.
Whatever the case may be, my lesson for today deals with texture. Case in study - small waves on seawater...
As with all others that are going to take their place in
The triumphant return... 2008-11-21 15:49:00 ...Exactly how triumphant we shall see after the exam results are posted.
Yes, my darling audience (do I have such a thing?), I return humble and apologetic after having gone A.W.O.L. for the past few days, due to circumstances beyond my control. Homework and exams, to be precise. Not that I would right now be in the clear, but I reserve myself the luxury of not working on Friday evening.

Photography 101 2008-11-17 18:26:00 I've decided to start a series of so-called studies - photographs that aren't intended as complete works in themselves, but rather bitesized bits of research into isolated aspects of photography. As such, these should be viewed as no more than simple exercises with a distinct objective.
And my self-assigned homework for today is going to be...
...drumroll...
A Study In Tone

Dusting myself off 2008-11-17 01:01:00 For the first time since I've decided to post my work up for critique, this morning (or rather last night) I received some very constructive and "to the point" feedback. Since I have a tendency to forget good advice and keep doing things my own wrong way, I'll include it here for future reference. The critique, by the way, was in regards to "The Street", which I posted a little Read more:myself
The Photographer 2008-11-16 18:31:00 About time or not, I've decided to try my luck with colors this time. Once again, Photoshop stepped forward as my knight in shining pixels. I still get the distinct feeling that so far I've only been exploring the proverbial tip of the iceberg in terms of its capabilities, but I am working on it.
So without further ado, I give you... The Photographer

Alright, so I have to admit the idea
What do we have here? 2008-11-16 03:19:00 I hadn't initially planned on having this type of posts, but just this once I couldn't resist.
This morning I stumbled upon the online gallery of Michael Chelbin. To my shame, I had never heard of this artist before, but I find his work truly inspiring. I just thought I'd share.
From the top, with feeling 2008-11-15 03:16:00 And hello again.
I thought I'd start with - what else - the beginning.
And in the beginning there was... the camera. In my case, and my humble uneducated opinion - a darling little toysie with smarts, named the Olympus SP-560UZ, perfect for the semi-beginner with high aspirations. Or as I have affectionately dubbed it - Wallie. Needless to say, the debate around the name was beautifully surreal.
Welcome to my humble abode... 2008-11-14 17:05:00 I suppose introductions are in order.
I've never been a big fan of shaking hands and forgetting the name five seconds later, but how can I resist the quirkiness of introducing myself to a practically empty room? So by all means, let us proceed.
I'll start with the part where I let you know that you don't actually need to call me Ishmael, or anything else for that matter. I'll settle for being Read more:Welcome
