I watch too much television

I saw this commercial on tv the other day an couldn't pass up posting it. There's so many things making this commercial funny for me. Some of them are inside jokes, but funny none the less.

Bridging the Gap


A chainlink from a decaying bridge is wrapped around a steel beam.



I shot my first AP assigment today. I got a call out of the blue and they said they needed a shot of this decaying bridge west of town. I'm really interested to see what the full story is about. The best part about the assigment was I was in the mood to shoot detail shots. I have one shot from volleyball the other night I'll post later, but for now I'll leave you with you a few of these. The chain links one is my favorite.

I really liked the way the spray paint textured with the rusted steel looked. I could probably come up with some really artsy/political name for this photo, but I'll spare all of you.

It's hard to believe that in exactly one month from today I'll be married. I'll just be happy to have Stephanie down here. It's not fun being here by myself all the time.

Detailing


Amish buggy wheel.


I've decided I'm going to try and shoot a detail shots from almost everything I can and take this blog in a slightly new direction. I'll have minor updates on what's going on in my life, but I want to try and get as creative with detail shots as I can think. This wasn't the most creative shot in the world, but I only had a few minutes to shoot it, so I just cropped it a little differently. The crop creates tension in my opinion because most people would have left wheel centered. I'm not sure if it works on anyone, but it's a start.
