I took this photo the other day in class when e were messing around with camera raw.  I liked it and decided to put it up here, which I can do because this is my photoblog.

Conceptually Yours

This is a reworked Conceptual portrait I did for my Photojournalism class the other week. Well, I just reworked it tonight, but I submitted the initial idea the other week.

Anyways, the only difference between this one and the version that will appear in my portfolio is that the background will be white instead of gray. It is gray here to illustrate the effect I was going for when it appears in my portfolio, you can’t tell where the picture ends and the rest of the page begins.

If you are reading the RSS for this, click here to see it on the actual page so it makes sense.

The other month I went out searching for standalones for The Red & Black. While looking through my shoot earlier tonight I noticed that at some point during the shoot I had gone to the top of the UGA library and taken some shots.

Here is a nice little sequence I did. Nothing amazing here, but it shows a nice range of focal lengths going from very wide (17mm) to very narrow (200mm).

University of Georgia vs. Elon (Men’s Basketball)

November 21, 2007 in Associated Press, Me, Sports | No comments

Last night I shot the UGA vs. Elon basketball game. I submitted 5 photos to the wire, but the one I figured should definitely be put on the wire didn’t make it.

Billy Humphrey was definitely the focal point of the game scoring more points than anyone on the team in his first game back after a suspension last week.

After noting he was doing pretty well in the first half and this background information, I made sure to include a photo of him when I transmitted at halftime, but the photo never made it to the wire. Kind of a bad decision since the AP story that went with the photos made note of what I just said about Humphrey.

Anyways, I get paid whether the photos get published or not, so whatever.

Also, Rashaad Singleton makes the best faces of all the people on Georgia’s basketball team, see below.

To see the rest of the photos that made it to the wire, click here or “Continue Reading” below the photo.
