Not Awake Yet

I'm not slacking.But, I just can't get picutres I like these days...

Week 7&8 - Shooting Loose

Last week, I was a little slow. I kind of liked the first one. It's not perfect, but there are two moments happening in one picture... I like shooting loose.

Week 7 - Portrait

Another portrait assignment. They are the inventors of Night Runner, a blinking belt used to protect runners. They are lit by the belt.

Week 6 - Moment, Shape

I shot another feature and liked what I got. Because it's different from what I normally get. I was suggested to see if black&white works better, so I posted both color and black and white.

Week 6 - Rope Swinging

It was from feature hunting. There are quite a few swimming around the Upper Valley, and a lot of kids are jumping into the water. It's too bad that the paper wouldn't publish most of them because those places are considered dangerous... Well, I will use my personal time, then.

Week 5: How Many Different Pictures Can We Get from Graduation?

The paper ran this picture, inside, and pick another ok picture for the front page. I was happy with the layers in the picture, but the paper didn't want to put a smoking picture on its front page anymore. It was my first smoking picture, but it was third one for the paper this year. Graduations tend to be cliché, although there are a lot of stories and moments. I think another way to get a variety of pictures from graduation is to follow someone or a group of people from the beginning. Next time, I should take an initiative and find someone to follow, instead of making a series of cliché pictures or putting someone in an administrative dilemma. But, we ran the picture, at least, so it's ok...
