So a couple of blog entries ago, I mentioned that I had the assignment to purposely create a horrible photo for my Project 52 Pros group. I do that by accident sometimes, so doing it purposely was a bit strange. After letting us stew over it for a week, my mentor came back with the second half of the assignment--after taking the horrible photo, we were to...

Love from My Camera
Let me just start off by saying that I'm not under the illusion that the county fair is anything but small potatoes.
Last year I decided to start entering the photography contests at our county fair--I figured it would be a good way to get my butt in gear and force myself to focus on creating some images that were good enough for competition, and I figur...

Where to even start with this one? My next assignment for my Project 52 Pro group is to produce the "Worst Photograph Ever." I'm not even kidding about this. My mentor has been a bit tight-lipped about his reasons for this assignment, but he has said that as we are taking photos we are often focusing on what not to do (don't crop at the joints, don't let...
Last week I had the opportunity to go flying with an 81-year-old veteran of the US Air Force in his experimental aircraft. Very cool experience. (I thought he was a WWII vet, but it turns out he's a veteran of the Korean and Viet Nam wars.)

My latest assignment for Project 52 Pros was to create a period piece—an authentic-looking image from the era of my choice. Luckily, I know a young woman who collects vintage-inspired clothing, and she also happens to be quite photogenic. You'll have to forgive the inconsistency in processing styles—I experimented A LOT with processing to see what differe...
As I mentioned in this week's mini-challenge, I spent the last three days as a photographer for the media team at FantasyCon 2014 in Salt Lake City, Utah. I've never been to a convention like this before, so I didn't know quite what to expect, but it ended up being fabulous. I'm a bit worn out, but it was worth it. I love cosplayers--they love to be photo...
A month ago I had a Project 52 Pros assignment called "Let's Go on a Picnic," and the brief called for an image to show that older couples could have more energy by taking an herbal supplement, and the shot needed to involve a picnic (image of pills would be inset). I have some neighbors who happen to be into rock climbing and rappelling, and they also ha...
I've mentioned elsewhere on the forum that I had been issued a challenge to shoot a roll of film during the month of May, so I thought I'd share the results.

I'm not on allergy meds anymore and it's not too far past my bedtime, so I don't have any excuses if this post dissolves into incoherency. Crud...
Today I'm thinking about objectivity.
Is it possible to be objective when evaluating your own photos? I tend toward two extremes when it comes to my photos: hypercritical or blissfully ignorant of their flaw...

What do you do when you're in a photography slump?
Am I the only one who has days where I think my photography just sucks the suck out of suck? (And I totally stole that phrase--it's too fitting to this topic not to use it though.)
I've been in one of those phases lately…as I've thought about it, I think it's because I've been trying new things (like li...
