Big Tree, Small Space

Assignment: Old and new.
We went to the Old Pueblo Grand Prix bicycle race held in Tucson on 17 April, and the men’s cat 1/2 race had a wheel pit where the riders could store new wheels for when they had flats. This is a photo of an old wheel being replaced by a new one.

Assignment: Public Restrooms. (nothing gross.) This is a restroom along the Rillito River walk in Tucson. It’s actually a pretty interesting building, much more interesting than some of the more recent ones they’ve added.

Week 12: Everyday objects, in an unusual way.
This one was harder than I expected, mostly because I had to try to come up with something that was interesting and artistic, not just unusual.

Assignment: Take a picture that represents a line in a song…or even the whole song. It doesn’t have to be a well known song.
In my case:
Artist: R.E.M.
Song: Stand
Line: “Stand in the place where you are!”

Assignment: Self portrait.
I liked the reflections from our ceiling fan.

Assignment: Street photography… in black and white. This isn’t really ideal, but it’s the best I could do this week. Life was just too hectic to get out to the best parts of town to get really good street photography. Oh well… something to try again.

Assigment: “a bug’s perspective… from a bug that lives on the ground”.
This is a view of a dead prickly pear cactus in Saguaro National Park.

Assignment: broken
The Mervyn’s store went out of business a couple of years ago. I thought the broken sign coupled with the obviously empty store commented on our broken economy, thus taking the assignment a little deeper.

Week 6 assignment: vehicles. This is my friends’ scooter. Out of all of the photos I took, I thought this was the best for a more “arty” photo.

Assignment: Self-portrait.
Taken after Picacho Peak century bike ride.
I know the helmet is a little over exposed, but I still liked the photo better than most of the others I took.
