Still Life

It's been a while since I posted a still life, one of my favorite things to photograph, so here's a new one.

Bugs and stuff

More from when Rusty and Jim came to visit.

Pics with Rusty and Stutz

Last week Rusty came up to visit and almost killed himself! So in honor of Jim, his birthday, parking violations and pubes in sundaes... here's a few pictures I took when we went out.

DISCLAIMER: Jim took the picture of Stutz getting his diploma er ticket, I think Jim was more interested in the girl wearing the black bra than the actual transaction taking place :D

Weekend Homework

Here's one I took of my niece at Thanksgiving last year. She was sitting in the sink to get cleaned up after dinner but she wasn't done yet. You can't see it in this picture but in the other hand was a drumstick as big as her leg :)

I love this one.

totally didn't notice the bug on the left when i took this picture.

Well for our new "homework" I thought I would share some of my favorite shots from the summer:

HomeWORK YAY!

Back from a lengthy Hiatus, the weekly homework has been revived using ancient glyphs and dirt from Transylvania! Just don't let it bite you. Due before Monday lets do any picture you took that you really like, and hopefully we can find an element or principle of art in there. We'll get back on that bandwagon next week so make sure you check back to find out what next weeks is!

Portrait

thoughts.....

This is a picure that I go back and forth on....Some days i like it...others...not so much...What do you guys think?

SHAPE

Shape

Well here is my post for the week on SHAPE.

For those who didn't know...the St Louis Arch was fabricated and built in Warren, PA at PDM (Pittsburgh-Des Moines) and it was shipped by rail to St Louis in 8' tri-angular sections.

So there is a lil history lesson...

This is just one of the Many pictures I took from atop of the St Louis Arch. You can get some pretty amazing pictures from 630 feet in the air. I have more that I will post later

By my estimation we have done 6 of the 15 Elements & Principles of art, so 9 more to go. What say we go for SHAPE next week?!

1. form
2. line
3. shape
4. color
5. texture
6. space
7. value
8. emphasis
9. balance
10. harmony
11. variety
12. movement
13. rhythm
14. proportion
15. unity
