Framing is the subject of our week 45 pet photography project. From our book The Visual Toolbox, the author DuChemin says the orientation or framing of the image should have nothing to do with the subject matter but everything to do with what you are trying to say with each photograph. 

This week our theme is Cinematic or Think Cinematically. Our assignment in our book The Visual Toolbox said this and I'll paraphrase: "Find something you care about. Pick something. Now photograph it. Tell the story. Show me where it happens. Show me the highlights of what happens, and give me a great shot of the climax. Show me real emotion. Now pick you 8-10 best shots. Put them in sequence. Make them work together."

This week we are taking a break from our book and we have a freestyle topic: spooky. I'm going to take a little different approach to this as I spent the weekend photographing a dock diving event. I was only photographing for fun and experience (and for my personal entertainment.)

This week I was rescued by a big lug of a dog named Baxter. Here is the back story.

Our week 52 project this week is on juxtaposition. Juxtaposition is putting together elements that contrast with one another conceptually. The example in our book is a photo of a man reading the Koran with a cell phone in his lap.
