Photographic Evidence of Ignorance

Here I write, publicly, my admittance of ignorance. I do not pay too much attention to detail when gallivanting around with my camera or in general for that matter. I have taken a few college photography courses but still don't tune my eyes in to the things around me worthy of photographing.

The photo above is my evidence. I shot this with my Canon Rebel XTi using a 70-200mm F/4 telephoto lens while standing on the Stone Arch Bridge. I did not see the fancy graffiti on the wall until I showed my BIL the photo set on his 23" monitor. AND to make matters worse, I have walked by and driven by this building enough times where I should have seen this before.

On this same day, I was shooting a street sweeper and a construction cone. Three shots to be exact before my BIL walked up and started laughing at the construction cone. On top of the cone, totally not in my peripheral, was an empty mini bottle of Patron. I screamed ignorance at that moment, took a picture of it, and then stomped away.

I need help training my eyes. Any tips? Pleeeeaaassseee? Something to make me pay attention?

Wrong Way?

My open letter to Rhodes --

Dear Delicious Instant Bun Makers,

Why must you advertise every other minute on my frequently listened to radio stations? I don't believe the hip hop, bee bop, doo wop crowd is the best demographic for advertising your delish buns. It strikes me as awkward to hear the traffic report being brought to me by your hot buns. I thought maybe you moved to Minnesota and wanted to strike it rich with our Minnesota Nice, but it looks like you are in Utah. Not so close to us.

At any rate, keep making those yum yum buns and reconsider where you place your ads.

Your devoted bun licking fan,
Sarah

Downtown Shoot with J & A Part One

Photo shot from the lawn on the south side of the Hennepin County Government Center.

A couple of weeks ago I went on a photo safari downtown Minneapolis with an arsenal of Canon lenses courtesy of my fab BIL, Johnny and his fab GF, Ang. Me, oh my! I had so much fun AND fell in love with this baby -- FISH EYE!

We were shut down several times by security guards in a handful of towers. All we wanted was a good view! No way Jose, not without paying! I follow several local photo bloggers and knew what kind of trouble we could have gotten into. I played the dumb card, but daintily played dumb. Not the lock-you-up-with-the-big-dogs kind of trouble I was looking for. We played for hours and hours on end and landed at Rock Bottom Brewery. Very good food, service and I hear the beer is the best too!

I am better at taking his picture when he isn't paying attention...
