Coffee

I needed a coffee break, so I met a person who had a coffee break on Thursday afternoon.

the first sequence assiginment

In order to make a good sequence, what do I need? It was the first question popped up from my head after watching some photos by Elliot Erwitt. The first step was to bring a good idea. This was the hardest part for me, so it took a forever to kick off real shooting.

Recently, I am getting interested in playing with a video, so I want to make something new like a mixture of a still photography and a video. Professor David showed MPW in 71 seconds which were made for 2008 Missouri Photo Workshop. I was inspired by this work, so I decided to try this type of sequence.

I got an idea from a Missourian newsroom. Since I was a reporter less than one month ago, I don’t feel being an alien in a newsroom. Actually, I feel like I need to go to a budget meeting every morning. While I was working on a newsroom, there was a sad new that Sunday Missourian won’t be printed out anymore because of a budget matter since this February. I was predicting that it will happen soon, but I still don’t want to accept this fact.

I think it warns me again that this is a time to capture the moment how a newsroom goes through in 2009. So, I made a theme, ‘25 hours in a newsroom of 2009.’

I still need to shoot more photos to make a perfect sequence because I mostly focused on a movement of images rather than taking an emotion shot. Here’s some photos I got. I’m welcomed to have any opinion from you guys.

the last day of January

I am not sure whether you can't figure out this image or not. It may seems two light bulbs in a dark studio. I am trying to look at the sky at least once a day, but usually I miss it. Anyway, it was a pretty bright night. I found a beautiful crescent and a following star or may be a satellite in the sky. It sounds stupid, but I still wish for the moon.


Today, I wish I won't wait tomorrow's sky without looking at today's sky.
