Thursday, June 2, 2011 – So the first thing I want to do is say hallelujah I’m feeling better!! After being sick for over a week and a half it is good to a) get out of the house and b) workout. I can’t say that my workout was rigorous or intense but I got to do 10 minutes on the elliptical and man how I missed my active lifestyle. Anyway a funny tidbit of information that I would like to share with all of you before getting into personal projects. So I went to my allergist to get tested for food allergens and guess what I found out. I am allergic to rice!! Can you believe that?…I said to Dr. Christine who was also asian “How is it that an asian is allergic to rice?” and her reply is that she is allergic as well. Of all things. Unbelievable.
I still can’t get over that. Well in regards to personal projects and in reference to a post where I was referring to projects that are coming up I have read that personal projects are important to keep yourself continually interested in photography. Here is a link to the post. Now what I have been thinking is to create technical and aesthetic assignments for myself but what I realized is that the art of photography is both technical and aesthetic at the same time. With that being said the assignments that I am looking to work on is to understand the functions of my camera/flash better (by going through the manual and finding a way to test the functions I am not familiar with) and to acquire new techniques in photoshop that will help me to develop a style that is both unique and awesome. I will be posting pictures in the upcoming days.
