Tennis, Anyone?

August 26, 2008


out of bounds lights net can topper

I’ve taken to shooting random inanimate objects lately, and walking through McKennan Park the other morning gave me cause to try to capture the essence of the empty tennis courts. I’ve always loved the stark, clean lines and colors on a new tennis court.

More pictures are in this set.

Much More Sure archives

August 21, 2008


In the effort of keeping the archives clean and more archival, I’ll be taking many of these first posts - all of which are of previous photo sets - and editing the date. So if you’re wondering how a photoblog that’s been open for one day can have two months’ worth of posts, that’s why.

Sorry for the confusion.

Introduction

August 21, 2008


“I hate cameras. They’re just so much more sure than I am about everything.” -John Steinbeck.

Nothing captures the essence of an instant like a photograph. It’s the truest form of art, literally, a exact replica of life as it was at 1/100th of a second. It’s every emotion, every color, every detail. It’s hard to run away from. It’s truth.

For me, photography is a hobby. An amateurish, bastardization of a hobby, one where I spit in the face of true skill by relying on computers and high-class cameras to take good pictures for me.

However, it’s a hobby all the same, and no one can learn without making some mistakes. It just so happens that, like many photobloggers before me, I’m showing my mistakes to the world.

I sincerely hope you enjoy this blog. There’s not a lot of skill yet, but there’s a whole ton of desire and enthusiasm. I’m learning. And without a doubt, the camera is so much more sure of what’s going on in the world than I am.

Welcome to Much More Sure.

This statue was just put up on the corner of McKennan Park. Odd, but a good subject to take still life images of. The rest of the series is here.
