New assignment - Two
Sorry to Frank, I’m always impressed by how you manage to get a submission up. I’m gonna put up a late submission and post up the next assignment.
Since right now the blog is pretty much just the two of us, I’m making the theme for the next assignment “2”, to be interpreted however you want.
Due two weeks from now on September 26, 2010!

Rebirth - New Assignment
Ok everyone, I know it’s been a while since we did this, but with work finally settling down after my move home, I think it’s time to try to get some much needed creativity back into my life.
Our first assignment back has to do with something you interact with every single day (if you live in California anyway). Post a picture of your car, wide angle or macro, literal or abstract,...

New Assignment! Due the 17th.
New assignment is working with TEXTURE.
I’m not saying take a picture of grass cuz it’s texture. Let’s do something a little more.. interesting. Work on a photo creating texture rather than OF a texture. Enjoy!

New Assignment - Happy Holidays
New Assignment - Happy Holidays
Hey guys, this is technically supposed to be Sylvia’s assignment, but as she hasn’t posted one up in the past few days I’m assuming she’s pretty busy. Also it’s almost Christmas and I know you guys are gonna be busy with family and other stuff.
So here’s the deal, take any pic over the Christmas/New Year’s holiday festivities (content is wide open), and post it...

New Assignment: Still life(?)
Hey guys, we went from a flawless participation record last week, to absolute 0 this week. Blame the busy schedules, Thanksgiving, and the difficulty of the assignment, but one way or another we didn’t get any entries last time around. =(
This week should be a lot simpler. When I first got into photography every picture I took was a desktop wallpaper. Pic of flower on the ground, pic of...

New Assignment - Backlighting
Hey everyone, I had a really hard time coming up with an assignment this time for some reason. So… backlight something. Portrait, piece of paper, action figure, whatever it is just use backlighting in your shot.
Due Sunday November 8, 2009!
Assignment closed! Post thoughts/comments
And going with our rotating theme, I will come up with the new assignment within the next day or so before we rotate back to Frank. Tell me if you guys know anyone else that’d want to join in!

New Assignment: Minimalism
After going to art school, I decided I’m obsessed with minimalism.. from sculpture to interior design to, of course, photography.
I’m not holding you guys necessarily to the correct definition of minimalism (most people define what minimalism is with a skewed version) so just do whatever it means to you.
Just do something minimalistic because it makes me happy. :) I think it’ll...
A quick note...
While we wait for our next assignment. Since Frank agreed to the idea we will now be rotating assignments on a weekly basis. While we won’t be voting anymore I think to promote feedback I’d still like people to pick a post they liked in particular and tell why, just to avoid a continuous posting with no feedback loop.
Also I’m testing out a couple different themes, let me know...
Assignment closed and a question
Ok assignment closed! And here’s a question for everyone. Before we had some voting and winning and next assignment choosing, but things are a little diff this time around, and there’s only three of us here. All 3 of us are doing photography for some extent to earn money, and I was think of getting away from the vote/win situation and just take turns making assignments. This way we...

New Assignment - Life
Hey everyone, new assignment this week. There’s been a lot going on in my head recently, and I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about life, mostly about where mine is going, and some of the things I’m starting to have to face, such as aging relatives, trips to the hospital, and various other things you didn’t really think that much about when you were younger.
So this...
Assignment Closed for real this time
Ok, it’s been another week and I’m pretty sure nothing new is going up. Assignment closed for good this time! Vote away!
Assignment Closed - Vote!
This is kind of a formality since Frank is the only one with original content but what the hey!
*Edit* The deadline has been extended one week to Sunday, September 20th! by decree of Frank and Sylvia. I too will try to get something up by then!
New Assignment : LOST
LOST, as in “I can’t find my keys”
LOST, as in “I don’t know where to go”
and I am sure the word ‘lost’ can be used in other ways too.
Take a photo that represent the ‘lost’ part of your life. I thoguht of this because of the on going wild fire that is still threatening and have already taken so many things from people.
Due date...
First Missed Assignment, First Winner
Well, two firsts this time around, the first first being the conclusion of our first assignment, and the first winner for FF, Frank!
The bad side being that this is my first missed assignment. Sorry guys I got a 102-103 degree fever and was completely incapacitated for a week.
Frank you know the drill from before, the new assignment is all yours. I promise I’ll get something turned in this...

First Assignment! - "First ___"
To kick off the blog’s first assignment, I’ve settled on a theme of “Firsts.” This blog is just getting off its feet, and seeing as this is our kick off assignment, I figured it was only fitting.
There are a number of firsts in our lives, first job, first kiss, (first marriage?). Take a picture that represents one of the many “firsts” that occur in our...
The Tremendously Lazy Rule of Thirds
http://jakegarn.com/the-rule-of-thirds/
I found this article to be something I never paid attention to but was something that was in the back of my head unsaid (and something that is very true!).
I think this is especially helpful for making interesting and compelling compositions in a much more aware manner.
Let me know what you think!
