good god, this is gonna be a tough choice. I'm envious of the photography skills in here.

on a side note, have a lot of the regular contestants taken photo classes?

so far i have done all my learning through books, internet and through trial and error. but i recently went for a interview/tour at the Hallmark institute of photography and plan on scedualling a formal interview. it is a very intense,10 month program, 8am-5pm and someone i talked to who went there said she was at the school till 9-10pm using the resorces for photo shoots, projects, computers, and stuff like that, and they teach mostly hands on plus 40% of the program is "the buisness of photography".
you learn:
DSLR
medium format (with a mamiya film/w digital back {a $20,000 camera} and you get your own to bring home and keep for the 10 months!!)
large format
and more

im so exited, yey

Amor fati what is the school your going to like?

 

[AmorRoark]

^ She'll be able to expand way more than I but that school has a great reputation. Georgia O'Keeffe, Thomas Hart Benton, Claes Oldenburg, and Orson Welles are just a few of their extensive and impressive alumni. We have multiple School of the Art Institute of Chicago students here on bluelight. That's pretty neat, IMO.

a lot of SF natives HAIGHT () this wall but i love it.

 

[cletus]

^"Slash - The Acid Years" LOL

That is a cool wall. If the Frisco natives had boring, faceless, 1970's British local council architecture, they would totally adore that wall.

Very sweet.

 

[tribal girl]

^^Gen, I've admired that on your myspace for ages now. Never realised you actually took it :D

I wanna go to San Fran

 

[tambourine-man]

frizz: that's a great-looking photo!

Totally posed, but no less well composed.

Angles are just right. Right down to the positioning of the wheels. Well done, man.

 

[tribal girl]

Oh what the hell, just for the diversity.

 

[atri]

go bucs!

 

[~*geNeRaTiOn E*~]

TG, it was a one-off shot too; the ONLY photo i took of that wall because after seeing it, i was completely satisfied. the bum, IMO, made the shot 100x better.

 

[MazDan]

TG that is aweso,me, it looks like a painting....how do you do that?
