Alright, guys. You did so well in the first monthly photo contest that we’re doing another one!

As before, you can shoot this on any camera, phone or image capture device you want! The photo is important, but mostly as a tool for communicating. Again, your comments on each other’s images will be a big factor in the judging. The contest starts tomorrow, February 3, 2010 at 12 noon and ends on March 3, 2010 at noon. You have an entire month to enter, but early participation is better than late. This is meant to be a self-assignment, so I’ll shoot an image specifically with the contest in mind (and I hope you do, too).

Lines

As the picture below illustrates, you can use drama line, family lines, straight or curvy lines, or any other lines you can think of. Last month you guys wowed me with your creativity, and I’m sure you’ll do it again. Ready? Go!

(Oh, yeah, you can submit your photos on Facebook at http://bit.ly/aLZ0zl. If that’s not working for you, let me know and we can figure out another way.)

So it’s no secret that we have a few favorite musical artists at Shinn Photo, and one of them is Travis Oberg. I played a few times with Travis back in college, before he got all big-time. We were lucky enough to have Travis play at the grand opening of our new studio space, and we always keep a few of his CDs around to give as gifts. Here are a few photos he and I made one Friday back in September.

Shinn Photo may be about pictures, but making visual art also allows me to push into other directions, too. This is a dead French guy + 1950’s symbols + a little modern art styling. Think of it as a motivational poster, but without the pictures and the cliche 80s-inspired layout.

In other news, our Shinn Photo Art on a Shoestring Budget sale is almost over.  Tomorrow is the last day to reserve a print of your choice at a price of your choice! Call us at 559-643-2072 and tell us which print you’d like and how much you want to pay for it!  We can probably arrange a print of the image below at our normal print prices, if you’d rather have that.

Making the world a little better by making it a little more beautiful,

Andrew
