sinking in the snow

I made it out today, after hours of digging over two days, so I went looking for things to shoot while driving about.

snow

We got over eighteen inches of snow today (maybe close to two feet- 45-60cm). I went out to shovel, and took a break to shoot a little.

I like looking for untouched areas of snow to photograph. They look like miniature worlds.

The view out one of our downstairs windows.

I've been teaching some of my students about value this week (shading and tint, not economics), which has made me look more closely at how light effect my surroundings. I went looking for a variety of values, and patterns to show value. I am starting to see in black and white again. Something I did much more when I shot b&w film.

The original did not have much color, a slight cream color to the ceiling, and a blueish tint to the neighbors house.

lines

I am cutting down the number of images I shoot on a daily basis quite unintentionally (3 today).
I wander about and try to find something that works.

Today this fits my mood...

I like playing with shapes, and contrast, if you haven't noticed. Organic vs Geometric shapes, textures, colors. I noticed that blogger seems to make the images appear flat with less contrast and less saturated. I wonder if anyone else has noticed this. It might be a problem of when it converts from DNG/RAW to jpg, or is it just in my head....

mighty little man...

Does this count as portraiture?

sunset

I was once told by a teacher that the first color photograph of a sunset was taken in 1903, and he didn't wat to see another one.....as an impressionable student, my first reaction was to create a series that was ALL sunsets. Now I just enjoy a nice sunset when I can.
