E150 0 #31 April 23, 2002 Yip, get days like this fairly often. Usually a Monday at work after a good weekend. Everything in my life is just great right now, so I can never understand why I feel so down.Sometimes, I just want to walk out of my job, jump in my car and go somewhere. The week does get better as it goes on tho Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites SkySurfSnow 0 #32 April 23, 2002 Buck-up little camper.Shoot, you live in San Diego and I know that there is a small south pulse in the water...go surfing, fool. That always makes me feel better.

Find out even by accident what you are good at. What kind of fotos are your best. Sports is hard. I did that. Try just sitting around someplace where lots of people go with backgrounds. Shoot some stuff there. Your foto should tell a story. Maybe not the same one to everyone, but something has to be there. You need to find your 'eye'. Or what it is you shoot best. Just a foto. Then you can get into shutter speeds, filters, lens... and the numerous combinations thereof. Ansel Adams got famous with black and white, rocks and shadows and stuff. My friend took a great picture of 2 guys in Jamaica smoking a giant white 'cigar' with smoke going everywhere......... its interesting.... and its black and white with deep shadows... He got it just right with the smoke being clear and the Jamaican mans face also clear. Two different extremes white smoke and a Jamaican man... and then the subject matter was definately something you dont see on every street in the USA. And then the subject matters EYES.... very important with the eyes. His friend is looking at him and he is looking at the camera. You can tell alot about a person from their eyes.... This Dude... wasnt going anywhere, he was pretty relaxed, he likely did not have any pressing engagements that day, He could have been a tour guide - he had road map like eyes.... But then he didnt look too excited about anything, could have been he was off work that day.... maybe he is a musician... could have been some Bob Marley going on somewhere.... he could be a painter waiting around for the next inspriation.... maybe he was waiting for his women to show him ta monney, Mon...You never know what someone will see in a photograph. Take your best stuff crop it, print it and put it on your favorite medium and then have a show. Put them at the dz.... see what people say... The most interesting foto I have was taken by my friend when we both worked at a camera store here in Houston. It is of Grafitti on an old brick wall... its covered with this or that, (again black and white) But what is in foucs and shot from the lower left side, (he had to have sat down and took it) looking up... it says NOISY NEIGHBORS...In a previous lifetime I wanted to work for National Geographic. I once had quite the collection of wildlife photography. Now I have alot of skaters and surfers... And you can pretty much tell I am doing a contortion session on top of the ramp. I got creative - because at first the skaters on the ramps got 10 points for nailing photographers.(Contortion Session - also the name of a Band)Ann ~ www.AirAnn.comAnyone want a Kitten?
