Final Project

These six photos are what was chosen for my final project:
Self Portrait, Downtown, Water, Light and Shadow, Macro, and Portrait:

Done Downtown

Ok, apparently I'm running about a week behind. Now more downtown shots, soon it will be water images, which are really interesting, so I'll try not to have you on the edge of your seat for too long before they get posted.

Boston

Went to Boston on a Monday, still in line with my "Downtown" assignment. However, made this one fun because I go to meet up with an old friend for dinner.

Pretty Lights

Long exposure on Canal St, I think. This is still part of the series on "Downtown" shots that I did for class last week. This is when I really started to understand what my camera can do. It's not a horribly expensive camera, but it has lots of options to play with, and with patience, I think I can produce some good images.

A business deal on the Merrimack

Kevin (brother), Sarah (his girlfriend), and Brian (my husband, pictured left), agreed to do some modeling for me. I had them dress up nice and go to do weird things in downtown Manchester, on the Merrimack River (literally, they were standing on rocks), on the street, and in the library park.

Sarah was the adventurous one, with wadding in the water, and she also decided that the streets were too dirty and she wanted to vacuum them (or I convinced her, either story works).

Side note...

I have a lot of photos that would go with every post. However, there's a limited amount of space that I had to display them. Eventually, I will be including a link with every post to a photo album with similar pictures.

He was a skater boy

I went to Manchester's skate park a few weeks ago with a friend from my photo class. We had been taking pictures, and I came up with the idea of heading to the park. I didn't know exactly where it was, but I knew it was somewhere downtown. We drove around for a bit, and for the record, it is on Maple St, behind JFK.
It was a gorgeous day out, and about an hour after school had let out. There were a ton of kids, and my friend and I bucked up and asked if we could take pictures. The boys, loving to have a reason to show off, said sure, and started skate boarding, biking, roller blading, and even one kid had a razor (like a skateboard, but with a handle).
