Because I could not go to exotic locations to take great pictures, I embarked on a little project, namely every time I run some errands, I would take my camera and try to get one well-composed (not necessarily interesting) picture. The last in the series is shown below. The rest can be found on my pbase site, http://www.pbase.com/jcassatt/out_and_around.
Since I got into the habit of carrying around my camera, I am also posting some pictures I took before and after class on Tuesday.
Finally a couple of pictures I took while "Mall Walking" at Tysons Wednesday evening
Barbara also asked as part of our homework assignment to post a link. I always enjoy this one, David Brommer's video entitled "Beyond the Rule of Thirds", https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtcD84l9eUw
Another video is one made on Diane Arbus a year after her death, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_0sQI90kYI

You seem a natural blogger or diarist. I find your intermingling of b+w and color interesting - we are so much more used to viewing them segregated, either / or. Since you are entering a new phase of your life, you might find this book, which I only learned about yesterday, an interesting companion:

Now that I know about it, I will be recommending it and playing with it myself. Please let me know if you find it helpful. Thanks for sharing the links - thoughts about either of these anyone?
