I had been waiting to meet our next lecturer. From what i had been told this "Sean" guy seemed like a bit of a cool dude, one i might find a lot of similarities with.
Meeting him today and hearing him speak and getting an insight on his approach to photography certainly gave me a bunch of positive vibes. I like the way he thinks, i like his enthusiasm and positive attitude and hope other see this as well.
I feel he is the kind of bloke i need to help boost my already intense level of passion for photography to another level. So i look forward to further classes.
Another great thing i took away from Sean's class today was to get out and enjoy simple cameras again and feel proud of my unique eye on the world - then get out there and take photos naturally without letting it feel like work.
Great day :)
Notes from today's class:
Reference - www.americansuburbx.com (use this as reference for next weeks class).
To do.
- Find 3 samples of reference material on someone on the above website that i find interesting and take inspiration from.
- Come up with a few creative concepts for my folio of images.
- Bring in a few photographic PRINTS for next weeks class.
I thoughts up a handful of conceptual ideas whilst in class today. They include, but are not limited to the following:
Olympus Trip - Around Canberra
A series of photographs shot on B&W film on the 35mm Olympus Trip (i inherited from my father 2 years ago) of all the things i find wonderful about Canberra to help demonstrate to people all the reasons i chose to move my life here.
How great we really aren't.
A series of shots of all the things i dispose about today's society. We go on and on about how great we all are, but are we really. I see a lot of room for improvement. Things like waste, greed, ignorance, disrespect and plain stupidity.
Bikes of Canberra
Since moving to Canberra, i am constantly amazed by the number of people here who ride bikes. It is great to see and there appears to be an abundant variety. I would like to photograph the diverse style of bike and the character's who ride them.
(corcs - cbd - around the lake - mountain trails - bike shops - the front gallery etc)
Shadows
I have always liked looking at shadows. They are the simplest form of identity and they give off different interest from different angles of view - like when looking down from an elevated position during low afternoon sunlight - as one example.
