‘Vida Taquería’
Photographing people makes me uncomfortable. Not a skill I have in my wheelhouse. Point. Click. Get Away. Don’t stop to think about composition, lighting, or anything else. Sometimes, that is the best approach for an overthinker.

Part of the analog photography class is to produce a portfolio of 12 images in a theme. Still life and old buildings are my front runners so far.

When you’re a student at 59 yo and you’ve always been a school geek, then you spend your Spring Break doing photography homework.

It has been a full morning of photography field work at Roma (that’s Texas y’all). I’m taking a bit of time out for lunch before heading back to take more photos.

Black and white photograph of a metal spoon resting on a mirror. The spoon is reflected in 2 other mirrors placed alongside the first mirror resulting in multiple views of the spoon.
I discovered the work of Florence Henri (1893-1982) when gathering photography still life images for inspiration. This is my 1st try at digesting her aesthetic. #utrgvartstudent #utrgvphotographyclass #bwphoto #stilllifephotography

Another couple of days for scouting locations for my analog photography class at UTRGV. #utrgvartstudent #utrgvphotographyclass #blackandwhitephotograohy #bwphoto
Photograph of two black and white photographs laid on a light green tabletop. Behind the photographs are a gray sketch pad and a green spiral notebook.
These are the fist set of prints from my analog photography class at UTRGV. These are working prints (ie no burning, no dodging, single exposure time, #2 density filter). Later in class we will do a fine art print.

Photograph of twelve heads drawn with graphite pencil. The heads are drawn in different views from full frontal to side profile and from different viewing angles. On the left side of the photo is a page with the original drawn heads which are the basis for the drawing assignment. On top if this page are a pencil and an eraser.
Sundays are for homework. Actually as a 59 year old art student, it seems everyday is for homework just to keep up. I am very much enjoying it all, but then again, I’ve always been a school geek. #utrgvartstudent #utrgvdrawingclass
