Day 96 - 4/6/2011

skateboarding

My photographic creativity and motivation has wained a bit during the past week or so.  Perhaps it's because I haven't been any place new to take pictures.  Most of the flowers on the campus are gone, but then, I have probably exhausted my viewers with flower photos (especially since I can't really play around too much with the dof on my camera).

Luckily, I had my camera out as I was walking across campus and happened to see a student take off on his skateboard.  Unfortunately, I was a little too far away with my point-and-shoot to get a really good shot, so I had to crop quite a bit to get a decent shot and then the photo isn't as clear as it should be.  However, the picture came out with a bit of a textured look as if it were painted on canvas.  So, I said to myself, this will do considering my limitations (and the fact that I only took two other pics today).

I have been really busy with my job, which is causing me to work some late hours.  By the time I get home and take care of some other business, I haven't had much time to visit your blogs.  I really miss that, but I hope to catch up with you soon.  Please know that I haven't forgotten you and I hope to catch up this weekend.  See you all soon!
