Feeding My Passion

I did my first assignment for my photojournalism class while I was up in Sacramento on Tuesday. On Monday, I missed an interesting one in Merced in a park near the library. A little girl wanted to get up on these pull-up bars that were much too high for her, she kept jumping up and down. Her father came over and lifted her up so she could grab the bars and she tried to do a pull up. And then he lowered her to the ground. Simple. Good illustration of a sequence. Good subject. No camera. It was in the car of course.

Anyway, I’m happy with what I did get, a man and a woman building a fence at an organic farm in Sacramento.

And I’ve created a page just for my photoj assignments.

I’ve also decided to make pictures for a couple of hours a day. Lamotte’s feeling that a writer (or creative professional of any sort) needs to sit down and work, no matter what, for a few hours a day, so you break the mind’s resistance to working, and give your muse a regular window of opportunity to come out and play. So I’m going to work on a couple more sequences just for the heck of it. And post them of course.
