Super Busy!

Ok, sorry for not posting for nearly a month, but I’ve been busy trying to re-do my website and set up a new YouTube account, trying to get more translation done on the Grand Lenormand, and of course the regular day-to-day stuff, like work 😛 Anyways, I hope to have this blog moved over to my permanent domain/website sometime this week, and shortly after that I should have my next segment in the Grand Lenormand translation completed (the first four cards from the suit of Hearts). I’ve also been very … Continue reading

Photographic Seeing

This is just a note to myself to capture the photographic subjects that were assigned many (MANY) years ago when I took an architectural “Photographic Seeing” course at the University of Utah back in the early 1990s. Rule of Thirds, Point of View,  & Framing – artistic composition Lines: Rectilinear/Curvilinear, Actual/Implied Shallow vs. Deep Depth of Field (f-stops) Short vs. Long Exposure (no flash – shutter speed) Monotone & Chromatic Light (no flash) – Front, Back, Side, Warm/Cold, Diffuse/Harsh Texture (Smooth vs. Rough) Flash Photography Photo Essay consisting of 12 related photos (Final … Continue reading
