Senior Profolio Sign Dancers Project

Sign Dancers. 

The idea behind this project was to capture the sign dancers of Jacksonville. I stopped as soon as I saw any sign dancers. At first it was intimidating going up to a complete stranger and asking if i could photograph them . Most people were very kind and had no problem with it as I let them know it was for a school project. It was a very interesting project and definitely in many ways challenged me to come out of my comfort zone. 

So when I went up to this guy and asked to take his photo
he had absolutely no problem with this idea. Although as soon as
shot a image. The owner of this tax place came out and asked me what
I was doing and asked to see the picture. I went into the tax office where a

Macro Mode Flowers and Such..

Today I took the Camera out of my lunch break and used my Macro lens to snap a few photos. This is behind the Granary Whole Foods in Orange Park near a off the grid building.

Here is a dragon fly that would not let me take its picture until I gained patience and waited for a good 10 mins.

Some flowers ect...

My goal for tomorrow is to capture a few images using my Macro lense of a couple different flowers, herbs and veggies. Using different depths ect. Taking a few hints from this little article on staying up close and personal with the flowers.

Day Uno of blogging

So, I am going to try to keep a blog and update it every day to help inspire me to try to figure out how my camera works again. (Thanks to Frenchy I am dedicating time every night to do this) Which isnt going to happpen, but it is worth a shot . Any who here is a picture from 2003 When I traveled the coast of Cali with the parental units. This was just a typical digital camera nothing special..to be honest I am not sure I even knew the difference between my camera at the time and a DSLR .
