Photography isn't just a way of looking at the world; it's a way of experiencing life. As Joe McNally says, remember that all photos are a currency. You can make someone's day or break their world with a photograph, and photographers should remember that what they do is something very raw, emotional, and powerful. It would serve all photographers well to remember the power that we have in our hand with that camera. The best feeling in the world is to give someone a picture of themselves, and see their face light up when they say "wow... that's me???" -- there is no better feeling, and that's what I live for.

Spring Break (Late)
I did a lot of work over spring break! I did some shooting for a local club volleyball team, central's prom, and my brother's boy scout troupe.

Same Subject, different composition
For this blog post, I chose some coins. I thought they were interesting enough to photograph, and I got a few neat results.
I didn't really think a shallow depth of field looked good without the other composition elements, so it was kind of in two pictures, out of the three I have (because I didn't really get shallow depth of field without the other things)

I think the first image is definitely the strongest, because the other two pennies give a nice sense of depth. The third image would have been the strongest if the background were not so textured; that could have been done with more distance between subject and background to blur the table a little bit. I also like the second one, but I think the angle is nearly too dramatic.

Mundane to Marvelous (late)
Putting on a camera strap is about the most boring thing you can do in terms of photography - no longer! Put on a sleek, stylish strap like this, and immediately become a professional photographer.

Friends
Louis is pretty darn interesting, and always has something interesting or odd to say. Hopefully, this expression captures that feeling accurately.
Tessa is certainly one curious lady! She's amazing at art in general, and she is a super hilarious person! I was lucky I could press the shutter release here because I was about on the floor in hysterics. Tessa wins at everything art with me, except for photography! So I'm going to take this opportunity and post this picture of Tessa. Really, though, I don't think this needs any explaining.
