Photography
Tuesday, January 5th, 2010It’s a Modest Mouse kinda night. Although I just downloaded a song by The Magic Numbers from Music Glue, and I kinda want to find more of their stuff.
Muneeb and I both bought cameras on Boxing Day. His is to document his adventures in NYC; mine to document my travels in Europe next summer (a little early, I know, but I want to learn how to use the camera now so I’m not fooling around when I’m travelling. And it was a super good deal!).
At the ArtSci get-together on the 28th, one of us suggested that we start photoblogs. Since I have a thoroughly underused blog just sitting on some webspace, I figured where better to post my pictures? I need to learn how to use it before I head off to Europe next summer, so starting today I’m going to try to post one picture per day. I’ll try to provide some context along with the photo (i.e. what it is, why I took it, what I learned from the shot, what I’d like to improve) so y’all aren’t just staring at Cary’s Random Photoblog (we’ll see if this promise lasts as long as my pledge to write something everyday. Hah!). Since it’s mostly dark by the time I get home from work, I’m going to start bringing my camera to work, so I can go outside at lunchtime and take pictures of downtown Hamilton.
I’ve had the camera since the 26th, so I figure that’s 10 pictures that I owe the blog. I’ve taken around 300 shots so far, so here are the ones I like the most (in mostly chronological order). Pictures after the jump.
