Photography Best-of Collection
Friday, April 22nd, 2005
I’ve selected and uploaded 100 of my best photographs ever. I thought I’d only come up with 20 or 30 or so worthy of putting in this collection, and while I admit that maybe they’re not all the best, I’d consider it a pretty good overview of my photographic experience thus far.
I’m highly critical of others and not critical enough of myself, so I appreciate comments of all kinds. My thoughts are that I’m obsessed with three things in general: skies, reflections, and shadows. I always try to frame a shot in some interesting way rather than just point my camera straight at the subject.
I know you can’t see it with the small images, but the truth is, my camera (a Casio Exilim 2MP) isn’t good. The quality of the CCD is horrible. All images turn out grainy and pixelated, and that can only be fixed by resizing down. So prints are bad. It also has no possibility of macro. But the good thing is that it’s really really small, so I always have a camera. Many of the photos in this collection were taken with borrowed friends’ cameras, including a 5MP Sony Cybershot, my dad’s 2MP Canon, and my brother’s 3MP Nikon, all of which have great optics and macro modes.
Anyway, take a look at the photos and give me comments! I won’t blame you if you don’t look at them all. I went a little overboard.
