Journal Entry for 11/25

What makes today’s photographer of the day’s work so uniquely American?

What is unique about each of these pictures? Do you feel tranported to the places where the pictures take place?

Any Thanksgiving related photography planned? Close-ups of turkey’s, close up of mouth wide open with the reflection of the  flicker of the Detroit Lions on the TV opposite?

Photographer of the day: Jake Stangel

At this time of year, the post election/just before thanksgiving, so close you can smell the corn pudding, how it cakes around the plump edges,with a baked cheese, egg corn combination that just dances right on the palate, anyway, the photography of Jake Stangel is as American as you can get, and on two different cycling tours, he criss-crossed across the backstreets of the smaller towns that make up the backbone of these United States. Enjoy a little slice of hometown life as you ponder the preponderance that is being an American. Enjoy every mouthful of mashed potatoes ‘yall.

Could it be true?

That this guy

is thirty six today??!!

It’s all true….

Journal Entry 11/24

Do you think today’s photographer of the day does an accurate job of how it feels to be a young person in this country?  Please do explain thoroughly, as if ink ran from your veins, like blood.

Photo Challenge: CD Cover Art

Back in the day they were called ‘albums’, now it can be called CD Cover Art, Album Cover Art, or just Cover Art.

Either Way, your task is to design an album cover with at least one original photograph, text and effects. Don’t forget about Blending Options when you right click on a layer.

photographer of the day 11/24: Jennifer Loeber

To capture not just the look of youth, but the feel of youth, of being young, even if the photographer isn’t, that is why I love these photos from Jennifer Loeber

So what is ISO (tell me in your own words, not just copy/paste) and in what situation would you want to use ISO?

What was the most striking image of the week? Maybe not a photographer of the day, or a classmate’s, but any picture that you saw this week?
