Assignment Four

To those of you who were expecting sea creatures in New Orleans per my last post, apologies -- you will have to wait. There has been some clamor for the photo session during which I fell into a hole, skinned my elbow and knee, scratched up my camera, and was asked by a homeless guy, "Are you ok?!"

So here it is. We were told to "experiment with viewpoint, angle, and space."

Here are my feet above the hole...after I got out and dusted myself off.

    Hmmmmm you fell into a pit? Is this life imitating art? Should we expect to see you featured in one of BroMo's upcoming episodes?

    These are some of my favorite photos you've ever taken!!! I don't know quite why I'm so smitten by super urban photos. Maybe because I'm a gangsta at heart.

    Great photos.

    I once completely fell on a street in downtown SF; a homeless guy came rushing over (with his cart!) to ask if I was okay. I think it's the mark of a true city girl. :)

    those are great shots!

    i'm amused at the sign in the first one, considering what happened during this shoot.

    Those pictures are great! And that isn't a hole...it truly is a pit. WTH...why didn't they cover that up?! Glad you were ok.

    wow, super-nice, i'm thinking about taking a class next semester.

    keep it up.

    don't worry about Taste of the Nation, just one of the many food events that take place fairly frequently in lovely L.A.

    see you in the next one for sure :)

    Amazing shots! Love the urban focus.

    What kind of camera are you using? They're so sharp and saturated with color!

    I'm sorry, I really shouldn't laugh about you falling into a hole, but when I saw the pic of your PF shoes, I couldn't help it. Hope you're ok. AMAZING photos. Serious. M loves urban photos and graffiti art - I'm going to forward this to him too.

    Good stuff! I especially like the photo of the homeless man and the "loading only" sign. Mainly because of your use of DOF.

    I can tell by your shots that you experimented with angles, it looks like you may have done some kneeling and squatting....I hope you get an A!

    I loved your pictures from last week. So cool!

    I'm struggling with the assignment for this week. Stupid sun is so not cooperating. :/
