I will be starting 2012 with a project to make a photographic catalog of Deer Flat Wildlife refuge. My goal is to photograph it through all the seasons, as time permits. I hope that it will turn into a fairly comprehensive collection of the scenery and wildlife that populates an area that is so interesting and so close to those of us in Caldwell and Nampa. It really is a local treasure. A few pictures to get the ball rolling. I will be adding more throughout the year.
Photo Projects
With the completion of school I am looking forward to turning my camera to more artisitc endeavors. Not that I don't like portraiture. I love it, but I am looking forward to doing some camera work for my own interests as well as others.
Starting the New Year with Deer Flat
Transcending Stereotypes
This was one of my last school projects. The assignment was to make a series of three images that transcend a stereotype. I chose to address the issue of gender. While we had several weeks to complete the project, due to ‘artist block’ and various other time conflicts, I didn’t start the mechanics of the project until the night before it was due, and many of the concepts involved came along in the process. I feel really good about the final result.
