back to my photography homework. My favorite subject is of course my son Trace (yah think?). So my homework for tomorrow nights class is a traditional portrait (see yesterdays blog entry) an environmental portrait, photos of photographers I admire, photos of where I currently am in my photography, a portrait of an inanimate object (I must personify the object) and an environmental photograph of me at work. So the last two I'm stuck on...I don't really want to take a picture of myself, blah and then there's the fact that I was sent home today so I don't infect everyone in my office. And the whole inanimate object thing, yeah i am just not that creative...see today's photo...
I personally like this photo, it has a hint of brooding, slightly mischievous and a little quirky, but in reality it was simply my son's way of asking for another clementine. But I can also critic it pretty harshly too, the light/exposure is off, the table horizon is a little slanted, the photo crops half of my sons head off, the contrast is drastic...but I can't help but be drawn to this photo...so this is the one I will be using for my environmental portrait...
I tried a couple of other scenario's but they all failed miserably, I thought of doing an environmental of my son in the grocery store with the aisle of canned and boxed goods surrounding him while he pitched a fit in the cart (because he hates sitting in the cart these days). But it's so not ideal to take a screaming crying babe into the grocery store and subject all the other customers to his tantrum while I seize the moment and take photos of his hissy fit...
