Should we go back with better details about the photo etc.? I was thinking about mine and how I’m happy it was as close to square and framed as I was about laying in the sand (while trying to avoid laying in the sand) and I learned first hand how touchy the shutter was. All the sudden it was pressed and I was done, was kinda odd… Anyway better stories to go with the images will carry the images a lot further IMO.

I totally encourage that! Let me know what you want it to read. You can pm me if you want and I will make the edit. I’d like this all set before I create a photo book w the captions.
I chose this because it’s a newer Portland icon.
The donuts are small and a dozen equals about three regular donuts.
I like the symmetry of the building and how the sign is prominent.
I tried to capture the busy intersection and fortunately, there was a pedestrian.

would you like to give some context for your photo?
At the expense of embarrassing myself, sure.
That photo was taken at about 11:30 PM on New Year’s. It was a house party with about 40 to 50 people there—wonderful community of people that have known each other for years. People were chatting and swaying. The room was lit low but quite nicely and cinematically. In my mind, I had the vision of capturing silhouettes with slight motion blur running horizontally across the frame with stringed lights above.
In actuality, I’ve never tried something like that on film, could have been a bit more sober, and I actually don’t even know how, but I had some motion blur, even though I stabilized the camera by bracing it on the stair and firing while stabilizing it with my other hand like I often do without an issue.
Sorry I botched the frame— I thought I would be capturing something a little different than most on the roll. And I wasn’t wrong, but I didn’t get it right.

You didn’t botch the frame but gave us a moment in motion. Film is often more about conveying the spirit of the scene, even if’s not technically perfect. Thanks for the context.
Maybe I should have driven to your side of town for the real Original Pip’s!

I don’t think anything was botched, I dig the motion blur.

Honestly, yours was one of my favorites. The camera motion works great with the framing and setting, like looking through someone's eyes who has had a few drinks. That's the cool thing about film, you might not get what you expected, but often it's great anyway
You guys are all too kind--I did want some blur, but the people, not the overhead lights! But you are right--film is fun like that You are totally correct on that one @OregonSun
We were actually throwing it down in inner SE @madNbad
Always lovely to see your photos Brad. And Huss, on the next go around, I'd love to be involved, and what about a fun cheap mid-iso color film?

Agreed.
It’s what differentiates artsy fartsy snaps from artisan fartisan images.
Congrats to all on your photo project. From planned and executed outcomes to mistakes and accidental successes, as a reflection of life its one shot (*) and done, usually. Warts and all its art. not even digital will give you perfection
Just IMHO one off makes it special, unlike repeating challenges. Fresh blood, different perspectives.
Originally, just wanted to comment not only about rscheffler's amazing from the hip/waist framing, but of the snapshot (and) commentary effecting all communities ((struggling) businesses, (indifferent) passerby, (shadow) person, and not captured the observer/witness)
17 is mine. It was literally my first analog shot in a very long time so I had no idea what I was doing! As you can tell. My dog is often game for a photo until I am just about to focus...
