Anyway, I've been especially absent from here lately. It has been over a week since I've posted images. But I have had a lot going on. Most notably, I started a new job last week. All good, but getting oriented to new organization, new people... and more than double the commute. It'll all settle down soon, and the commute will be great in the long run, as they're opening an office quite near my home in a short while. Anyway, I'm sorry for my relative absence, and will try and be better.
So, yesterday (Saturday), I attended the Photopalooza event sponsored by Creve Coeur Camera in St. Louis. They've done this event before, but this was the first time I decided to make the trek to the far side of St. Louis.And even then, I only took part in a small portion of the 2 day event. But it was good. I did attend one seminar, Karen Hutton's See Your World. It was a really good session, and I had a nice conversation with her afterward about equipment.
BUT....
She asked everybody to do a couple of seeing experiments during the session. Things like: take a photo somewhere in the room demonstrating shows, high / low angles, movement, abstract, etc, etc. Quick, just about 2 minutes per exercise. And (of course) I had not brought my camera. But I did have my phone, so that was the best camera I had with me. I decided to focus on the same sublect for each image, which became a little bit of a challenge with each additional topic, but was still interesting. Naturally, while most of the folk were clustering around the set pieces in the front and back of the room, I found a (semi) interesting element back in a dark corner.....
Anyway, here's a few of my images, w/o any effort to remember what image went with what challenge. And I did take the liberty of doing some tweaking....
I won't try to convince you any of these are "good". Or even try to convince myself! But hopefully there's at least a little interesting.
