My Honors Photography Final

My project goal was to create a photography book. However, I took nearly 2000 photographs while exploring this semester and found it nearly impossible to pack that into one book. Well, after planning out roughly three books and actually creating the first book, my teacher was impressed enough with it that it’s enough for my final. First time I’ve ever completed a final A WEEK EARLY.

& Yes. My first abandoned book is complete. :)

I Favorited this photograph in late January. Never knowing I would end up seeing the beauty of this abandonment myself in March. So in love!

Reasons why this is a rare photo: I used a tripod, I used the self timer, I took a photograph of myself, I took a photo of myself smiling, I took a shot with someone, I am insanely happy with how this came out. I hope you enjoy it :)
(& Yes, the lady on the right is yours truly.)

Got through airport security with no problems. Thanks for the help guys :)

New York area explorers, what’s up?

Does anyone have experience bringing a tripod on a plane?

I called the airline, and they are ~frowned upon~ or whatever///could end up having a hard time carrying it on. BUT it doesn’t fit in my luggage. (Plus I hate putting my camera things under the plane)

So… anyone ever travel with a tripod? What did you do?

Thanks in advanced, and happy March fellow explorers! It’s getting nice out, go do something awesome!

The day of crappy camera luck and total happiness.
(Still one of my favorite days of 2012 so far)

The first time I stepped inside your overwhelming beauty was February 13, 2010. It was love at first sight, and I haven’t been the same since. (Who knew you could fall in love with buildings?!)
