Jeremy > May 20, 2008; Day 18. This idea has been stuck in my head since March. I took a class on the "art of seeing" and our last assignment was conceptual photography. We were given a list of words and were asked to pick 3 of them and locate representative subjects. The trick: No people or animals.

This was my idea for the word "Loss". But back then, there were no cherries in the store. Now that I've shot it, I must admit, the lone cherry doesn't look very sad about losing his twin. Conceptual photography is tough.

In the class I had mixed success with the words I had picked: Access, Abandonment, and Risk. (Risk should have been disqualified since I put a person in it.)

Anyway, even if your ideas end up being only so-so, you've got to shoot them, or you'll never get them out of your head! Since I came up with ideas for all the words, expect more conceptual photography in the months ahead.

Jeremy > May 8, 2008: Day 6. I was browsing through the Strobist site and found a remarkable gallery of watch photography by Ming Thein. Impressive. Inspiring.

With only an hour of free time tonight, I concocted this setup in my lightbox (thanks Oliver) and fired away. I applied slight saturation and contrast bumps. I have a long way to go before I've got the light down like Ming does, but I enjoyed working this subject. I sure love how much flexibility the D80's commander mode gives me.
