" photowalks and the art of daily glee "

---

tonight i participated in a special edition photowalk, with the incoming students of the Masters of Digital Photography @ SVA. a big ups to my alma mater, and chair katrin eismann.

big ups to those students and good luck in your burgeoning next year of your life/education.

if you go on a photowalk every day, you'll start to see the world differently. you noticed in your photographic infancy, that you began to see shapes in the shadows. you started to notice how the light falls on certain buildings, or on grasses, or faces and people in different ways, dependent on the time of day or seasons.

when you were in your photographic adolescence, you started to apply the concepts you learned, whether on your own or in an arena of instruction. you balanced out the formula of shutter speed, ISO, and f-stop, then messed with it to accord with your personal vision.

you started to dabble in still life portraiture, nudes, time lapse, pinhole, medium format. you started to expand.

you started to evolve and hone your sensibility.

and now you're here. in the present moment, filled with all of the experience and experiences you've accumulated to this point. and how does it feel?

hopefully hungry for more, and good for you.

tonight's homework:

explore the area immediately in the 5 block radius of your home or work. take a photo of all the objects that are red or blue or yellow. when you get all of your photos back, see which ones catch your fancy, and think about why. is it the color of the object? the shape? the way the light falls on it?

email to me [bay(at)cbaymilin(dot)com] your favorite photo of this assignment, and 1-3 sentences of why.
