Architecture Assignment



This week we are taking indoor and outdoor architecture photographs. Tony showed images from the web site of Hedrich Blessing, a firm in Chicago that specializes in architectural photography. I got some ideas and inspiration from their work. I got a few fairly decent photos this week.

class I took in the summer of 2010.

Landscape Assignment


This week we're taking landscape photos. For all the thousands of photos I've taken over the years I have very few good landscape images. If there is no barn, windmill, lighthouse, or boat, I usually don't bother taking the picture. Here is one of the better landscape images I've taken on my trips and I put in my book.

Photo Story


This week the assignment for my digital photography class was to take a series of photos that tell a story. I took photos of of two crews widening Olive Street. Keeping out of the way of the workers and standing only in safe areas are real important. It reminded me a lot about how I used to take photos of Texas ranches back in the 70's. Here is a page from the book I wrote about the trips I've made.
