We switched sections today in one of my architecture courses. I used to do more technically-focused work (plans, elevations, sections, the usual), but now I'm in a more abstract design focused section, which means a bunch of
goofy educational art projects! Our first assignment is to take a bunch of pictures of two buildings, focusing one on different
shape compositions, and one on
line compositions. As a flood of sophomores engulfed the graduate architecture building and business facility, here's some of the pictures I came up with (one of which is the wallpaper of this blog!). Of
course they're black and white, so I can hide the fact that I'm not really a great photographer...

Hi Mike,
ReplyDeleteBeing a great photographer starts with developing your eye and finding a way to frame the shot. I don't think I am a good photographer but I get compliments all the time and several of my photos have been picked up for use in online magazines. Find other photographers that you like and try and figure out why you like their pictures - you'll be amazed at how fast things start to change for you.

Thanks Bob! I actually just read that post about a week ago, and really enjoyed it. I like photography a lot, but usually don't practice that often. I'm hoping to get into the habit more often!
