Some Old Photos

One thing I used to do is take photos. I was fair at it – one of my college photography teachers said that I had good “stock photo” eye. I think he was saying my style was too commercial or something. I don’t know; when I asked what he meant, he didn’t answer me straight. I took another photography class – photographic lighting – and that professor said that I had a good eye for color, but just needed to work a bit on composition. At least it was useful feedback!

You know these photos were taken a long time ago, because they were all taken in Portland, and I haven’t lived there in years. I’ll refrain from commenting on the images, except to say that I enjoyed taking them, and look forward to getting out and taking more.
