The Perils Of Photography School

.
Bob Run Over

As mentioned, some more stuff from Maine until I get new local material. Actually, these are photos others took of me last week.

I was disoriented at the beginning of the workshop. Days of sleep deficit and way too much new technical info to absorb. Our teaching assistant took the picture above on the central street of Camden, Maine, in imminent danger of being run over. Photographers better pay attention to more than their exposure or the f may stop then and there.

Below, me fascinated with a beer bottle. The beer brand was Andrew, my son's name, and it was made right there in Nobleboro, Maine. Below, a picture of me on the pier in the town of Belfast. It was taken by Pierre, a photographer from Montreal, who was out shooting at the same location. He took my picture, I took his.

    So photographing is as dangerous as texting and phoning, huh? :-)

    Very nice full size portrait, beautiful place too.

    Thanks for your visit. Looks like you had a great experience in Maine with David Wells and did some great work. Loved your pictures of Fenway and meeting with Birdman.

    I like cieldequimper's comment. Some truth there.

    Hopefully you might be able to catch your breath for five minutes now Bob! I was trying to pull the middle shot in close enough to see what lens you were using, no luck.

    Looks like you were loaded down on the dock in Belfast.

    Finally the photographer gets his due! Don't you just hate to have your photo taken? I surely do. Love these of you B. I'll get to take some myself very soon. I just had an idea for a photo shoot here. I'm getting on it right now.
