Assignment #2 - Journal Before Shooting

What to say what to say? Okay so I think this assignment could be very cool.. or if could be horrible. If you don't think about it and try cool things, it will be very boring. So thats what I'm going to try to try to do. Try to try new things that is. I don't really like trying new things so Patteson you should feel very special. So for before and after pictures I am not sure what I am going to do. I'm hoping I get some inspiration when I'm with my family. I was thinking if my sister (who is my most willing subject) was going somewhere I could take a picture before and after. But if there isn't a big difference it will be very boring. So maybe if she was going skiing it would be cool.. like at first with a few layers on.. then everything on very excited.. then after with everything or some things off.. with her face looking very tired after skiing. But I'm not sure how cool that will be. And we are kind of having a party on Sunday afternoon.. so I might do some pictures at my house before cleaning everything, then after cleaning, then torn up after the party. Okay on to the close ups... At first I liked this one a lot more.. but then I started thinking about it and realized I had no ideas for this one. So I'm not sure how many of these I will end up taking or liking although I really like the idea. One idea that I like but am not sure how I'm going to execute is of a bunch of people... then one person in the crowd.. then like a ring on their finger or something. But I would need a bunch of people... but I do like that idea if I can make it work. Hopefully I will. And hopefully I will get more ideas!

Assignment #1 - Journal Before Shooting

Okay so I have no idea how this will turn out. I don't really know what I'm doing this weekend, so I'm not sure what my day of shooting will be of. But I think it is kind of a cool idea to just take pictures wherever you are.. its a good skill. But difficult for me. I like to walk around or get in a photo mood or have an idea of where I want to go to get good pictures. So this isn't exactly what I'm used to. Oh well. I think the hardest ones with be right when I wake up and right when I go to bed. Because when I first get up I am definitely not in a photo mood. I am not thinking creatively. And when I go to bed I'm just tired and don't want to think. And, there aren't many good pictures by my bed or in my room. Believe me, I've tried. But I guess trying again can't hurt. I just hope I have an interesting day and go to some different places where I would never normally think so shoot like the grocery store. I think this could give me some other cool ideas on other ideas for other pictures later, because I think these pictures might be different from others I've taken because this might be the first time I'm at a place, and I might have a strange view.. but thats cool. I think it would be great if these photos were strong on their own but even stronger together. If they could show what I basically did during my day, that would be great. But who knows if that will turn out. First though, they have to be very strong on their own with no need for explanation. Then, with the other pictures, the viewer can totally see what is going on. I doubt it will be great like this but I can always hope..

Nothing to Say

So I felt bad because everybody else was posting things and keeping up with the blog.. and I haven't been. Even though I said I was going to. So, from now on I will. Watch me. It will be great. But I don't have anything to say yet..
