Part One of The Nenana Project

Photographs were needed to seek donations for the town's hockey field. Since I had this most impressive gadget called a "digital camera" I was asked to take the photographs. These and the next two groups down, Part One and Part Two of the Nenana Project, are what I came up with. I printed the photographs on photographic paper (the first time ever) making them 8x11.
Thanks to this class I would never have had the opportunity for this project.

Even though the floor of this field is very well done you can see how the water puddles that it still needs leveling out. There are gaps under certain sections of the wall around the field that need to be worked on. The fence will be painted as well as the wire fence that will be on top of this one using the teams colors. The little cabin is in dire need of sand blasting and the porch is in poor condition.





This photograph I couldn't resist. It doesn't have anything to do with the Nenana Project but was across the street from the hockey field. I plan on having fun with this photograph.

Why I take photographs.

Why Do I Take Photographs?

Ever since my aunt gave me and my sister her old Brownie camera in the 50’s I’ve had and interest in taking photographs. I like to capture nature mostly. It changes minute by minute and is never the same. I am impressed by all the different colors, angles, textures, and sounds.


Photographs I Imagine Taking When I Buy My Camera!

When I buy my camera I want to take photographs of my land. Every year the land changes. The vegetation grows each year which causes less sunshine which, in turn, creates a change in the lower level vegetation. Also, I want a camera that films movies with sound so I can pick up the sound of rain falling or the wind blowing.
