The Next Challenge

Well well well, the 30 day challenge has ended now it's time for a new one. Although this challenge will not have an actual updates, unless of course I land a job. So I just gave away my challenge which is to get my first design job. I've printed out a few flyers just to test how well they work, if I don't get any response from this first small batch, I will redesign the flyer and run another test until I nail the one that gets the most attention. I have ordered business cards from Vista Print ( I know that's kind of lame but I'm broke) the really bad thing is my wife was convinced I didn't need a backside to my cards. Okay she doesn't get it! (I'm a designer with a janky business card) But what am I going to do it is her money that I'm buying these things with. I will say this, as soon as I do get a few paying jobs, I will order some proper business cards!

That's all I have for now its not much I realize that, but to the few people who may read this, I thank you! Stick in there with me, and one day I will have some better news, I'd love to share my experience's and projects, I just have to figure out how to get the ball rolling.

B&W Photo Challenge Day #30 - Finally I Need a Drink

I Need A Drink

So this is it #30 in the 30 day black and white photo challenge, it only took me about 2 months to complete ( thank you Mother Nature!) I took this photo with my cellphone, and I thought this would be a good ending photo for this little experiment. I have learned somethings, mainly that I am not a dog and I need some color in my life! I do love love B&W photos but I know that I would go crazy if it was the only pictures I could take (good thing it's 2014) I struggled to complete this task and I didn't get to use all the cameras I planned on using, although I did post pictures that were taken by some of my old cameras, so I guess it evened its self out in the end. Anyways I don't know what I'm going to next but I do know that it will be something in color!

B&W Photo Challenge Day #29 - Outside the Palace

Outside the Palace

This a shot of one of the statues outside of Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. I took this photo with my cellphone. Vegas is an awesome place not because of the reasons most people give, but for the fantasy it makes you feel like you're in.

B&W Photo Challenge Day #28 - 2 Bones

2 Bones

These two dolls were at my friends wedding, and I thought they were pretty cool so I took a pic of them. While searching for a pic to use for this challenge I thought " Bones are white, and the groom has on a black suit, that should work!"

B&W Photo Challenge Day #27 - Hot Wheels

Hot Wheels

This photo was taken at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway a few years ago using My Sony DSC-HX1.
There is not a whole lot that I can say about this picture except that life sized Hot Wheels are pretty awesome!

B&W Photo Challenge Day #26 - Tornado Damage 2 The Rebirth of Coney Island

The Rebirth of Coney Island

This is the 2nd picture from the tornado damage that hit my city back in November 2013. This is really great to see, because this my friends is one of the greatest places to eat in the entire country. The business Louie's Coney Island has been in my city for decades, and they are famous for their BAKES, look it up to see what I'm talking about, or just click this link here. And  here is another and while I was looking for these links, I saw that the business has been here since 1937. I love it and can't wait until it is open again here is a pic of the reconstruction, taken with my Nikon D5100. By the way I took this while at the red light.


B&W Photo Challenge Day#25 - Tornado Damage 1

Tornado Damage

Back on November 17, 2013 an F2 tornado ripped through my city here is a picture of one of the buildings that got damaged. I'll post a link here for a little more info on the damage if you're interested.
Pretty crazy stuff, but one of the most amazing things is that nobody died, so that is always a good thing. I shot this photo a few days ago with my D5100. My next photo will be of another business that was damaged and now they are rebuilding.
