Just thought this looked cool because the ear makes it look like a unicorn a bit:

I don't know why I like this picture so much but I do. Outside my house with the "Aged Newspaper" effect, the orignal is cool too:


Waterfall in Ithaca, NY


I love this shot due to the action of my friend in contrast to the sign:

Seriously: photo mission thread once a month a la the ICOOT cook offs?

I have no idea how to take photos. I am going to try Private Joker's suggestion about the 9 boxes and see what happens.

I think this is an excellent idea.

Since there seems to be a genuine interest in photography I figure I'll extend the offer of feilding any questions you guys might have. Photography was my study in school as well as my current profession. I'm well versed in anything digital or technical as well as color and printing and can answer almost anything you'd want to know. I don't want to hijack this thread but if there is enough interest I will be more than happy to start an "ask me" thread.

I agree. Great idea!

[KingMedicine]

yes, id love to see an "ask me" thread - this thread takes forever to load on my connections, but i do have some questions about photography. diablo approve?

[El Diablo]

All,

You've inspired me to head out with my camera and do some real work.

A lot of talent here, love what I'm seeing.

I've posted most of the pictures I've taken that I was happy with in other threads.

What's the first assignment?

Does anyone have any good photography book recommendations for people with experience, but no advanced training or education?

Is there a style or type of technique you're looking for? There are a lot of books out there.
