Hi guys, unfortunately we have to cancel the field trip this weekend because the museum is outdoor and will be super muddy. We will find a new date at our photo club meeting on Monday. Have a wonderful weekend!

Ricardo's First Post Since Joining The Club..

Hey guys it's Ricardo, here's some photos i took for the "Familiar and Unfamiliar" assignment.
One mornig I just caught my mom doing some laundry and she was hanging some clothes on a broom to get them sun dry, and I immediately tought of the assingment..lol

Club starts back up tomorrow!

This is a quick reminder that Photo Club starts back up again tomorrow after school. We will finally be going over photoshop, so come ready to do some computer work!

I also want to touch on our attendance issue before tomorrow. I know that all of us were really busy at the end of 2009 with the holidays and the end of the semester, but the last few meetings we had only drew 3-5 photo geeks. If attendance does not improve the first couple of months in 2010 then Mr. Chapel and I will be canceling the club. Please realize that we do not get paid to come to Kearny and run the club, we do it for you guys. I am giving up about 3 hours of my day to drive down to Kearny, run the club and drive home in traffic. Mr. Chapel goes into work 2 hours early on Monday mornings (6am) so that he can leave early to be at photo club. We are sacrificing our free time to come and be with you guys, if you want to be a part of the club, please show up for meetings. Now that my busy season is over I will have extra time to devout to the club so that we can get things running smoothly.

Spread the word that club starts back up again and hopefully see you tomorrow.

The red notebook goes with the green grass and the blue iPod goes with the what is suppossed to be yellow leaves.

Black and White in Color

So yeah... This is what I thought of for the black and white in color. The writing is not significant to anything (I don't think). It's just a bunch of random stuff I wrote done real quick :P

Ruins in Mexico.

Here are some photographs that I have been holding onto for a while.

And haven't posted.

But here they are.

They call themselves the Guardians of their Ancestors.

They're purpose is to teach the dance of the Gods to new

generations so that their cultures won't be forgotten.

This is the pyramid of the Sun.

I ask them for a photograph and this is

the pose he did for me. This is my favorite one.
