Photo Date #4

For this photo date I decided to get a little more personal, and I photographed some family. My Uncle Chuck is not as capable as he used to be when he was younger. His health conditions restrain him from doing certain activities and even chores. I found out that he was getting a new roof put on his house, and it is a major task that he could not do alone. His sons and grandsons, my cousins, all came out to help put up his new roof. It has occurred to me that in great times of need family is always there to help no matter what the situation, good or bad. Family does not leave you behind.

Photo Date #3

For the third Photo Date assignment, I was at Cedar Point. What I came up with was an idea to photograph rides that people ride that they show fear to, yet they still continue to ride. It is as if that ride give them a rush of adrenalin, and they momentarily forget that they fear this thing, this ride that they have chosen to get on. I choose the Ferris wheel because as a rider it is not a continues ride but a ride that slowly takes you higher and higher and then stops. So as the rider you are up high, and most people are afraid of heights.

Photo Date #2

For my second photo date I decided to photograph Semi Trucks. Why, you might ask, well because my father has been a truck driver for the past 18 years; ever since he got out of the Army. Semi Trucks are transportation for all sorts of goods. They transport food, clothes, and many more things that we use everywhere in the United States. Trucks provide a service that many people today take for granted because they do not know the life of a truck driver or their truck. The drivers could be over the road drivers where they are only home for maybe a week our of every month or even less, or they could be week to week truckers where they are home on weekends and our the rest of the week. Semi Trucks are our nations means of transporting goods that provide the necessities of our everyday existence.

Advanced Photo "Photo Date"

For this assignment, we had to make a photo date with ourselves and just go out and take photos. The idea behind the project is to create work to help keep me focused on photography. It is also to help keep the creative juices flowing so as not to become blocked when working on a project. Out of this photo date I have photographed around my new home, at the fair and in Columbiana. These are the images that I got mainly around my house, so these two images represent things that are lost, and forgotten. There have not been any children around the house in quite some time, yet there is still reminisce of them being here.
