The Cliche Shot

You know, cliches exist for a reason. Its because they are classic, they are good. I mean look at this shot, you cannot deny that there is nothing special about the setup, but it is still a gorgeous photo.

Because I can.

Art Final Project

I AM FREE!!!

Finished my art class today. It was one rough class. I think it says something when all the classes I take for fun end up being painful in one way or another.

I think the professor guy liked my stuff this semester. He said the thing he liked the most and thinks stands out the most is that all of my works seemed bipolar. He talked about how they are all complex, and have two or more personalities in it. And stuff like that. Maybe when i get his last critique email I'll be able to write down what he means.

Well, here is what I presented as my final project in that art class.

Le Bridge

I know French! "Le" means "The" in France. Or so I have heard.

I know I know, you guys (All two of you) are probably getting tired of seeing pictures of flowers and wanting me to post something different. So I will stop posting pictures of flowers*.

This shot was taken today actually. I took it at this park here in Tulsa called Woodward Park. I really like this park, it is small but there are a lot of things in it. Plus a lot of people go there. Around this time of year it becomes even more popular because all the bushes that are in the park are a kind of flowering bush called Azalea. What this means is every photographer, professional, hobbiest, or parent comes out of the woodworks to come here. Or there are your normal people who just like going there because it is nice. However azaleas have kind of a bad smell.....But hey, they are pretty as you are about to see.

Ah yes, if you like this bridge and other random bits of architecture, you should check out my occasional partner [read as: "minion"] in crime Jeremy Jewell Photography. He lives in the O.C. where he apparently works. I personally doubt this heavily. I mean we have all seen the commercials with Schwarzenegger and other random Californians saying they don't actually work.




*maybe.

The duo

This picture was taken back during the Memorial Day weekend. Or is it Labor Day? It was taken in whichever of those two "holidays" is in the Autumn. I digress. This is a photo of my cousin who is taking a picture of something or another. I mean really? That's a pretty odd angle he is at!

And yes, that is a golf course behind him, Wichita State University has a golf course on their campus, I am jealous.

I keep telling him that we need to do some kind of joint work, even if it is him taking a shot of something and me screwing with it in photoshop. But he is too smug about his work to do something like that. Or it might have something to do with that time I took his facebook picture and made him look like a girl....

Anyway, check out his photoblog, he does some amazing landscape photography. Not to mention his occasional pictures of random stuff, like a road divider or factory, are actually nice to look at! http://jeremyjewellphotography.blogspot.com/
