The chances for photography outside of the normal happy snaps with my pocket camera have been few. I have a few ideas floating around in my head but it is the matter of finding time between college and work to shoot photos.

I did how ever enter one of my waterfall shots [link] into the NC State Fair Photography Contest and didn't get any awards, along with other a handful talented contestants who honestly had much better pics than myself. The type of pics that won this year at the fair either had a child or wildlife in the frame, but in the end this just proves you do not know what the judges are looking for; that is the toughest part. On the bright side my photo was chosen for exhibition at the fair amongst the 2,100 entries they claimed to have in which they only chose half of to exhibit. Also, speaking of the NC Fair I did take some night shots of the fair environment; which was very interesting to shoot in and was a great creative challenge.

Lately I have been in a state of mind of a grease monkey to where I want to shoot stuff that is automotive related, especially older garages and gasoline stations. I have even been looking for old cars on the side of the road or in a field to shoot that great rust texture that we all have a soft spot for. As far as other projects, I have been needing to shoot my friend Christian in his SteamPunk attire around a old farm setting but getting our schedules to meet in the middle is always the constant challenge. Lastly, I have been meaning to do a night shoot at the Raleigh Durham International Airport, shooting long and multiple exposures. As a side note, I did have a local print sale of a 18x24 [link] in a 22x28 frame for a nice sale.

Wish Me Luck!
