Local Talent

This past Friday I went to an art exhibit in Bellport, NY. It featured different forms of art including photography by local artists. I really enjoyed interpreting what the artist was looking for and what they were trying to express.

Hi,

I have to say I am truly enjoying this class and my fellow classmates and of course our professor Mr. Keener. As some have said this is a task which we would choose maybe not to participate in, but as time goes on I see the need to support each other for our future success. As I develop the craft we are all strive to achieve, I will post some of my pictures and would relish your opinion.

Looking forward to seeing you all on thursday.

Regards,

Susanne

Light

Taking this class has made me look at light differently as the sun moves through the sky from sunrise to sunset. The shadows change what we see and how we perceive the object or even a person. Light can often soften one's hard worn face or make a weed look stunning and out shadow the prettiest of flowers.

Happy to be here!

When I chose photography as my major, my sister suggested shadowing another photographer to learn the craft. I thought about it. All the time spent in school and the cost. The easy way out. Obviously I chose school. I wanted to learn the art/history /mechanics/and the craft of photography. I am so thankful in such a short time at Suffolk for the vast amount of knowledge I have learned and the understanding of the depth of the craft. Do not get me wrong, shadowing a professional is important either in the process of getting my degree or afterwards. With the elective classes I took last semester "Introduction to Literature" and "Developing Creative Imagination in the Arts" it made me realize how all classes including Math, etc.... can help you complete and develop your skills in your chosen field. I am still trying to figure out how gym fits in with photography? Being more mobile?
