Tiny Details

It is so good to have more time to do some blogging now that summer is here. I so enjoy visiting other people's blogs as well as posting my own entries.



I recently purchase the Sigma 105mm macro lens. Now I am enjoying the process of learning how to use this lens. First, I have learned that a photographer needs plenty of light in order to take a decent macro photos. And using a tripod definately helps!



Macro photography is challenging because it forces the photographer to really see tiny details that others might miss. It just amazes me how close I can get to an object with a macro lens!

International Center of Photography

It has been a very busy June. The end of the school year always brings so many task, meetings and events, and this year was no different. But I will have more time to do some blogging now!

I wanted to post some information about the International Center of Photography. My friend Mary and I had the opportunity to visit this fantastic place during our New York City trip in May. (Here is the link to their website: http://www.icp.org/ )

The four very inspirationsl photography-related exhibits included African-American Portraits, the Photography of Stephen Shore (every day images), Amelia Earhart, and David Seymour photography. I was struck by the different types of images because they all seem to capture very different moments in time, from the stuggles of African-Americans, the adventures of Amelia, to everyday life during the 1970's.

My friend Mary isn't that interested in photography, but she really appreciated this photography museum. She liked the fact that she could learn more about history by viewing this photos.

I have posted an "artistic" photo I took just outside of the musuem.
