ehh

This is the first week I really started playing around with the camera (actually it was my friends camera...before I got mine). However, I felt a little lost and frustrated. The camera wasn't mine...so it's hard to explain...but I didn't feel "settled" in some way, I felt like I couldn't really take off the way that I wanted to. Also, I'm in the film photography mindset...black and white, and so color is a whole new world for me. I kind of kept my distance from people this week. Just observed the little things around me and took a view close ups. I eventually want to delve into photographing more people, specifically portraits that stare right through you. I'm trying to start out small, and understand the basics of photoshop before I move on (which is not as easy as it seems). I'm never completely sure how far to go with the color.

the colors got a little messed up when I uploaded this one...

I loved the effect of the light through this underpass, and the shape of the shadows.

Ripped up newspaper in the middle of Red Square. I stood there for awhile trying to get the right picture of it. People kept walking by and staring at me, but hey, I guess thats just how it is when you're a photographer...sometimes you have to look a little ridiculous for the sake of a good photo.
