Another week in the photo taking adventure. I had 3 photographers for “PEOPLE” last week. Not to bad at all. Today at noon I let the generator pick and I almost did a redo. I asked Chris to verify before I posted it to make sure I shouldn’t redo it.  He replied “I say go with it.  What is the point of being random if you second guess it?” He does have have a very valid point. The idea is total random and done in a week. So be it, like it or not, this week is:

“PLANTS”

It will be interesting to see how one photographs plants when they are all covered in snow.

3 photographers this week. It is growing !!! this week was all about “PEOPLE” I actually found my flash drive, the dog didn’t eat it. Here are the photos:

 Photo By: Christopher D. Bennett. Go check out his website www.photography139.com for many other good photos.  Now this is a photo of PEOPLE.

 Photo By: Jesse Howard. Go check out his website Mayor Goldie. Nothing like some Axe Droppin. 10x caffeine and 100x rock!

Photo By Me: Fun photo. Picture of people talking to people who are probably talking to more people. Who knows how many people are actually involved in this photo?

I was stuck at home today. The last couple days have been slick with freezing fog and now rain with ice. I tried to get the car out three times and all three ended in failure. There was just too much Ice. As I blog it continues to sleet out. it should make an interesting Moring. Below is a couple photos from the last two days. Check out this gallery to see more.

I originally had a soothing photo of candles in mind and the lose of my flash drive just didn’t help…

It is still Monday. Late but not forgotten. Inspired by Chris’s photo I stepped outside and took a new photo. It is what it is, but I keep looking at it so it must be soothing.

Another week and I already had a bump in the road. I couldn’t seem to find my flash drive and so my Image for last week is delayed. But another week and another photo to pick.. With Chris as a witness I ran the generator and this week it is :

“PEOPLE”

This could be easy or hard… as a side note Chris thinks the generator needs some music… I agree some nice jeopardy type music would add to it.

I hope to get some other photographers joining in.

Every Monday at noon I pick a new photo at random to take. This photo must be photographed that week. You have until the following Monday(give or take a lot) to get that photo turned in. Whatever the magic generator tells us to photograph is left up to your interpretation. You do not have to have an expensive camera to take these photos. Just get out there and take them.

I have my photo for last weeks “Soothing”, but, I left my flash drive with the photo at home. so later tonight the photo will show up…

Christopher D. Bennett, has turned in his photo.  Go check out his website www.photography139.com for many other good photos. It is similar to an idea that I wanted to do for mine but never had the time. Enjoy.

Jesse should be joining us soon with his photos. Can’t wait to see them.

Another photographer, Christopher D. Bennett, has turned in a photo for “Use of Space”.  Go check out his website www.photography139.com for many other good photos. This is a very interesting photo, I like the light effect in the space. Thanks for sending me the photo.

Second week, My photo for last week is up. it’s odd. This weeks choice for a photo is………

“Soothing”

Allllllrighty then. This should be entertaining.

This is my first photo of the 52 week photo blog. “Use of Space” was harder than expected to come up with a photo for.  Just my photo this week. The other photographers didn’t get their photos done.  This is a photo of Matt peeking through some blinds with a red filter. It has a bit of a peeping tom meets red-light district. I’ll leave it up to you.

Exercising my rights as the owner of the photos, here are the photos that “Wally World” decided I wasn’t the owner of.

Here are a couple other photos of Steph.

I had an interesting experience at a local “Wally World”. I took the digital versions of my daughters senior photos, which I took, to be done in 1 hour because she has to turn them in on Tuesday. When I went to pick them up I wasn’t allowed to because I didn’t have a singed notice from the copyright owner.  When I explained that I had taken the photographs, I was informed the photos were taken in a professional studio and again informed that those photos where the property of that studio and unless I had a release form from the studio, they couldn’t give me the photos.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>After a 20 minute argument I had to fill out a form saying I was a photographer and the copyright owner of the photos. “In the future”, I’m supposed to inform them that I’m the copyright owner and I have a copyright form on file.  Being the owner of my studio and the fact I am the one who took the photos. I guess I’ll apply my right and post them here tomorrow.

1st week and I’m already running behind. The program is done and 1st week photo to shoot is picked. it is:

“Use of Space”

I have no clue what to photograph.  Spacing, white space, negative space or just space. It was hard to come up with 52 things that anybody with a camera should be able to photograph and that could be interpreted many different ways. I did get other photographers to join in so with permission I’ll post their pictures.

This year I have decided that I’m going to make an effort to blog something at least once a week or more if I can find enough to make a blog. This will include more on my twitter.

Time for an update to the site while I’m at it. soon I’ll be adding videos and my programming(loosely translated) and a private site for stuff not necessarily public.

I’m also working on a 52 week photo blog. Once a week on Monday I’ll pick photo by random generated mood, concept or idea. This should keep it interesting to see what I get.  As a tinkering geek I redid my “What?” program for use to pick the type of photo.  I’m hoping to get a few other photographers to participate.
