Up Date On Project 365

Well, I have to be honest with you I haven't been taking pictures everyday. I am still going to keep trying this Project I want to show you some of the things that I have been taking pictures of. I guess i can start from where I left off. The first one after the last time I posted was of my moms cat who finially warmed up to me again. took me being there for almost two weeks but what can I say.

I traveled a lot on in the last couple of weeks. First I made my way from my mother's house to a museum where I saw a show on Ansel Adams. After seeing the show I got to see my very first Super Target. It was so cool never thought I would ever see one. Then I turned around and drove to New Mexico so that I could catch my way back to Arkansas, where I go to school. Adams was just an amazing show.

There is so much I don't know about photography. Adams showed so many different types of ideas behind photography it was like I was discovering it for the first time. It also inspired me to become a photographer with the focus of developing my own works. I think that alone is an art form. I would like to show that its something that will never be lost if we don't let it become extinct.

If you don't know anything about Ansel Adams I could describe him in words but I don't think that would be enough. I could say this Adams has a thing for showing textures that happen in the world. It was like actually seeing things through his eyes. There were things that I also discovered about him is that he also took pictures of flowers, and people. It was so shocking to see. I always saw Adams as a landscape photographer.


But over the last week I have been trying to get in to my old grove. It's really hard for me because I am taking more hours then I have ever done before. But While doing that I took over 240 Pictures in two days. But none where that great but I do have some that are quite interesting but I am only going to post two of them.

Sorry readers its been a while but its been very busy. I hope your new year is going well.

New Meaning to Dear in Head Lights

Well today photo is a moment I don't think I'll ever forget. I took this picture with the flash which is different from me. I normally try and take it with out the flash. So, that you can see the natural colors of things.

I don't have a famous photographer for today. But I do know that there are several of us out there who are trying to become one of those famous photographers. So keep up the good work our time will come.

Project 365

Happy New Year everyone. There are a few things that I have decided to take on one of them is: Project 365 is about taking photograph everyday to see where the year takes you. I think that this would be something good for me too. But I think I want to step it up by also introducing a New Photographer from The Photo Book. Which will help me discover new and creative ideas about photography.

I think I would like to show the last semester of college and then the start of my life after college. I don't know how its going to turn out but I do know one thing. well today is the day.. well here is my first photograph.


This is a photo of my moms living room looking out side. I just love how the lace is and how you can see the sun through it... and the darkness of how the room looks. I just love sharp contrast and how they make things look. Playing with light is one of the key elements in art.

I think the first photographer that I would like to talk about is Horst P. Horst. I think he uses light to develop strong contrast from. the photo I am going to show you is called Mainbocher's Pink Satin Corset and was taken in 1939 using Gelatin silver print. Gelatin silver is a process that was use to develop black and white photography using silver salts in gelatin. More can be read about this process at Wikipedia.

Horst seems to have been talented in using the light around him to create such great photography. He had a good span of sixty years where he became famous for his art. He mostly did fashion photography for places such as French Vogue. He didn't start our as a photographer he ended up going to war before he discovered his passion. He has amazing web sit that shows off a lot of his work and tells you a little more about his work. www.horstphorst.com

I think the Horst is one of my favorite photographers. I really enjoy the process of creating photography in a dark room being able to edit them and make them as big as I can. The whole presses seems to drive my creativity. It took me a long time to realize that, that is the way I want to go with my art. Learning everything I can about art can only help me to develop my eye for a good layout.
