I can’t believe it’s December already.  The past 45 days have gone by in a blur.  At this point I am looking forward to relaxing (relatively, I still have to feed myself and keep the net and lights on) and preparing for the next semester.  Oh yeah, and the stretch run of the NFL season (GO TEXANS!!  9-3 as of Week 13).  The semester for UH is over for me and next week I have 2 final exams at Lonestar.  This should prove to by my last semester at Lonestar (unless I choose to complete an AA degree, but that probably won’t be necessary).

I do have some final project images to share.  I think with this entry I will show you my Fundamentals of Digital Photography photos, since I kinda held back on showing those outside of class this semester.  I put this together as if a child was telling a story with pictures.  Honestly, the group was rather eclectic and I needed a unifying theme.  Click on each individual picture to embiggen:

This is a story I made with my camera.

This is me. I’m fat.

This is my wife. She’s pretty :-).

We met in a parking lot in San Antonio. That’s in Texas.

We now live in Houston. That’s also in Texas.

This is us together. She’s shorter than me.

Sometimes we like to go to concerts. This is when we saw Judas Priest.

I’m currently in school learning how to make nice pictures.

This is my friend Skip. He plays the saxophone and likes to tell interesting stories.

Sometimes when we go to the park, I see this scultpure and imagine that it is a powerful monster.

And that was my final project for my photography class.  The individual pictures were to be taken from the best of our work over the semester.  While the professor didn’t set any rules as to how it should be presented, I did want a theme.  I should be getting grades back any day so I will keep you posted on that.

This class, honestly, was a great experience.  I wasn’t sure how much I was going to learn given it was fundamentals course.  When the instructor introduced us to a book called “The Photographer’s Eye,” things changed rather quickly and a new dimension was added into my thinking when looking through the viewfinder.  I can see my growth through the semester, and I hope you can as well.
Comment at will.
