I am recommitting to this blog! My "for me" photography got slapped on the back burner for the most part due to starting a job in September, sick kiddos, a sick doggie, the holidays...blah, blah, blah. I've taken a bazillion pictures of the boys, but that unique, creative spark in me is burning once again! My New Year's resolution is to take a picture a week and blog about it! I can't wait to start! I'm taking some new photog classes this year and am excited to be exploring my photography once again. More to come...

Experience Builder - Train Yard
Our second class meeting was held at a local train repair yard with our focus being on photographing the details...not necessarily what has the best colors, but more about shooting textures, shadows, and composition. To make something simple look complex and intricate! We were encouraged to convert to black and white photos to really emphasize the objects. It was a really fun assignment and kinda creepy to be in a train yard at night! Here are some of my faves from the evening...

Experience Builder - Architecture Focus...
I'm taking another class with Indy Photo Coach this month...the Experience Builder course. In this class, we have a different focus each week. This week the focus was architecture, so we met downtown at the courthouse to shoot it's beautiful shape and detail! We also got to go across the street to a parking garage and shoot the courthouse from the 4th floor (directly across) and from the 10th floor (from above) as dusk/night settled in. Such an awesome experience!
The courthouse is all lit up at night...gorgeous!
Right down the street...Monument Circle.
Parking garage...courthouse...new construction
Dark out now...street view. We were really high up!

A cool alley across the street!

Such a majestic building!

State Fair Photo Contest...
A couple of weeks ago, I participated in a social photo shoot and photography contest through Indy Photo Coach at the State Fair! This was the first photography competition I've ever participated in and I had such a fun time finding interesting things to shoot...there are so many people and colors and a lot of action at the fair! There were 4 categories you could enter photos in to for the contest and below are my entries for each category. About 40ish people participated in the shoot...my corndogs tied for 3rd place points-wise in the food and drink category and my shot of Ky and Hay took 4th place in the people category!
Category - Food and Drink
Category - People 
Category - Action
