Kearny Photo Geeks: Self Portrait and Open assignments

Coral was the first to send in his assignments so I will post his now and add to the post as I get everyone's photos. I shot my open assignment today, I will work on it and post it with my self portrait some tomorrow or Saturday. I am very impressed with Coral's self portrait, we were talking about it the other day and he told me something that is really important for everyone to know. He admitted that he got the idea from the internet. I want you guys to know that finding ideas on the internet is a great idea. I frequently turn to other photographers work for inspiration. The chances of your photos or my photos coming out just like the one you saw online is slim. Take and idea and make it your own! The more photos you look at the better photographer you will become. My process usually involves doing an image search for what I am doing, finding a handful of ideas that I like, writing down the ideas and mulling over them for a day or two until I have something solid pictured to go off of.
