Thoughts

I've really enjoyed this course. It has made me really look at things differently. I notice shadows, light, composition and subject matter more. Now, even when I watch a movie, I notice the cinematographer's vision and the framing of the shot.

It's been great conversing with everyone online and seeing and sharing our work. Thanks so much, especially Prof. Nevins. Have a great summer!

I could only upload 10 photos today on Fotothing.com FYI

One more portrait

Well someone couldn't wait until after this class was over to make her appearance, I guess she wanted to meet all of you. This is my daughter Lucy, born last Friday night, April 30th :)

The first portrait I converted to black and white and the second I just tried to play up the colors and highlights a little bit more.

I see Everything

I see all (Surreal)

I changed this shot to sepia. I love it!

This is a building in Middletown, CT. I enhanced this photo by making it black and white because of the building structure. The black and white along with the structure gave it a vintage look.

Judith is also an actress who has performed on broadway and in Chile.

Portrait of Val

I solicited everyone willing and able for these portraits, I even got our office manager to participate. That's progress!

Portrait of Joy

This is my friend, Joy, who refused to let me photograph her unless it included her favorite stuffed animal. Characters are defintely welcome.

Portrait of Judith

Here is my co-worker, Judith. You can really see the details in this photo.

Portrait of Patrice

This is my friend, Patrice, a broadway singer.

Portrait Replacement

I'm finally getting the hang of the portrait thing.

Helix

Just playing around with the color to see what happens and I came up with this.

Watching you.

Surreal Assignment

This assignment worked my imagination and I loved it! Hope you enjoy!

Grades Due Friday

Hi Everyone....

Class ends this week and since graduation is coming up so quickly, the Registrar has asked that my grades for both ADP and day classes be submitted no later than Friday, May 7th.

Do you best to post all of your wok by then.  I'll be looking at both your posts to this blog as well as the work you posted in your fotothing portfolio.  Your comments on other students work here on the blog and in fotothing also plays in the mix.

Have a great summer.  As always, it was a fun way to offer this class and the excellent results show that it was worthwhile.

Life has an unexpected way of reminding you that every day is a gift and every day should be treasured. A few weeks ago my daughter got sick, no one thought much of it, just a fever and headache - that was until last Saturday when she was found unresponsive in her bed and she was rushed to the ER. She some how contracted a rare strep that oddly traveled into her brain. God was watching over her because she underwent emergency brain surgery at Yale and is now recovering - I am told a few hours later would have been too late. Needless to say, my photography took a back seat until yesterday when my Julia asked to go to the Healing Garden on the roof at Yale - she is above with her dad. While there, she helped me find some other neat photos to take so I could submit them for class and not get an F - LOL - Life is unexpected, live it and love it.

Portraits

A few portrait photos from my nieces Communion on Saturday.

Love in the afternoon

Here we go again! Wow, what an event! Wish you all were there to share the love and joy that permeated throughout this entire day!

Self-portrait of J&J

I love this photo. We had such a wonderful time at our friends wedding this weekend. This picture really captures what we were feeling.
