Texas and the 50mm: Safari in the Heights

Posted by Ivy

My friend David moved to the Heights a few months ago, which is a part of Houston I know nothing about (considering I lived in Houston for four years I know alarmingly little about the city, because I didn’t have a car when I was there). David said the neighborhood was ripe for photo safari-ing, so we went roaming around at magic light time.

I’m not very good at taking scenic shots (coincidentally, I have another friend named David who IS very good at this, and you should look at his work), so it was nice to practice without worrying about whether there was an actual assignment riding on the photos.

SOMEBODY hasn’t posted his pictures yet (ahem), but whenever they’re up they’ll be at http://djance.blogspot.com.

 

 

Texas and the 50mm: En Route

Posted by Ivy

I’m a month behind on these posts. Better late than never!

I celebrated my 6-month anniversary with the Gazette by taking a vacation (isn’t that always the way of things?).

The main reason for the vacation was to attend my college roommate’s wedding in Waco, but it’s hard for me to go to Texas and not, well, visit everybody else I know there, so I made a couple of other stops along the way (Houston and Austin).

I brought one lens with me: my 50mm. Push comes to shove, I’d have picked the 20mm over the 50 any day, but that lens is still broken.

Logan Airport, surprisingly empty for a Friday afternoon…

 

 

Some Fall Sports

Posted by Ivy

I’m about ten posts behind on blogging, and am hoping to catch up this weekend (now that I have Internet in my apartment!), but in the meantime, here are a couple of photos from the past couple days of high school sports:

Each of them thought the other had won after they crossed the finish line.

This one isn’t anything special, but I liked it anyway. I love when players run right towards the camera:
