Day 36: Meh?
Meh? Galway City’s coach terminal, located at the Fairgreen. This is good, but it could stand to be so much better. In hindsight I wish I had done more to capture the periphery of the building so that I wouldn’t have to crop so closely.
Day 35: Then On.^3
Laziness manifests itself. I have created a ‘corrected’ version of an image from yesterday. This version has been properly stitched, sharpened and cropped. My ultimate intent is to have this stitch printed in a floor-to-ceiling format (an eye-popping 27×64 inches!) and mounted in my hallway. When I have a hallway.
Day 32: Gratuitous Contrast Week begins now!
I missed yesterday. I was at the bottom of a pit of depression and self-loathing, so the photography had to wait. A serious pit of depression and self-loathing. I was on the teetering verge of cutting myself out of an effort to feel something. #mang
Okay. Well, welcome to Gratuitous Contrast Week, a week of contrast taken to gratuitous levels! My opener is the underground car park at Galway City’s docks complex, behind the Harbour Hotel.
Day 29: Exposure win!
Can I say ‘win!’? Yeah, I can. I’m ordinarily humble about my photographs. I see them in terms of their flaws; softness, blown highlights, uneven horizon, blur and underexposure are what leap out of me when I review them. Recently I have been working on the ‘exposure’ part of matters by trying to nail down correct exposures in difficult situations, such as catching the sunset through a grove of trees.
In this instance I’m happy to say that I believe I’ve nailed it.
That new year's shine

Well hi there, readers. It falls to me to harken the arrival of 2010 on January 3rd. 2009, for all its darkness, ended on an upbeat and optimistic note that continues to resonate in the first few days of 2010. I’ve taken on a project for 2010: 365 days of photos, of which I am onto day #3. The photos have so been posted to my personal site, but beginning tonight or tomorrow I will begin to migrate those posts back to newworldphotos.net.
Thank you to everyone who visited newworldphotos.net in 2009 and to all who may come in 2010. :)
