This is my shot of downtown New Haven I had the camera at my waist in the midst of taking a picture and this lady walks right up to me handing me flyers for Subway this was so hilarious I just thought I would post this picture for laughter.

This is such a peaceful setting located in the courtyard of Maplewoods Assisted Living Facility in Hamden, Ct. I Love to just sit there and enjoy the scenery

Beautiful flowers

Shadows/Light, Town

This picture is from the Monks Crossroads park in New Haven, at the corner of Cedar Street and Amistad Street.
This is the main entrance to the Sterling Hall of Medicine at Yale University's School of Medicine.
This is my front living room curtain w/ a soft sunset coming through.
I am in the process of moving so I have various things scattered across my apartment; this was a reflection off of a lamp I had in my dining room from the sun coming through a window.
This is a DVD spindle with a lamp light coming through the back.

I have not been able to upload pictures until just recently, these are a few from my Shadows & Light and Town sets. You can see more at my fotothing page:

Hi Class,

I hope that everyone is well. I am good, I am crazy busy at work and have not gotten a chance to post in awhile but here are my postings.

Surrealism

I really enjoyed this assignment. It was a nice change of pace and fun to complete. I showed the site to my children and they had a good time creating their own art.

I got a lot more out of the class than I thought I would at the beginning. I am much more comfortable with using my camera and now look forward to taking many more pictures.

Surrealism

Hi Class,

Attached are a few of the surreal images that I created. These two are my favorite , I've also posted others on my fotothing

This assignment was so much fun, I literally could have stayed and played around on the site creating images for hours on end. ..lol

Jerry, this class has been a joy and I have learned so many tips and ideas that I will use in photography for years to come... Thank you for all the feedback and encouragement.

To everyone, I wish you much success and happiness.

Regards,

Cathy

How to save your "Surreal" pictures....

Hi everyone,

Stephanie asked in an email how to save the picture you create on the Ateneum site... here is the rundown... after creating and saving it on the Museum site,  you need to hit the "print screen" button on your keyboard.... next open Paint or Photoshop Start>Accessories>Paint and select Edit>paste.... now select the area of your picture with the rectangle select tool... now Edit>Copy, then file new, don't save the first file... now select File>New and your selected area will appear... now, this is important, save this as a jpg file for posting to fotothing and the blog...

Seems complicated but when you do it once, you will see how easy it is....

Portrait

Hello Everyone,

Okay this was a very difficult assignment. While i realize we all can't be Ansel Adams, this assignment really fustrated me in trying to obtain light on a dismal weekend...

This is my fiance Christine and boy is she a trooper for putting up with me...

I hope I used the tools in Picassa 3 correctly?

Enjoy

The Digital Portrait

I found this weeks assignment to be the hardest so far. I felt it was much easier to take pictures and find ideas for the other topics. I was questioning the work I was doing and found it hard to select pictures that I liked.
