Craig Street Bum
by mav • • 18 Comments
Assignment: "The Street" in B&W – Your portrayal of life on the street. Photos must be black & white.
This is the Craig Street Bum. He is what I can best term, a professional homeless man. In one month, I will have lived in Pittsburgh for 15 years. For this entire time, this man has been stationed on Craig Street between Forbes and Fifth Avenue. He sometimes moves from one side of the street to the other. He is never there at night. But every day, rain or shine, whenever I am on Craig Street he is there, perched on his milk crate, with a cup in front of him begging for change. I have often wondered if he is really homeless or not. Not to be callous, but you’d think after 15 years he’d either be back on his feet or would have died. I don’t very often see people giving him change (I think most passers by are aware that he is simply there every day) but he clearly changes his clothes from time to time, despite having "the homeless look." If you pay close attention you’ll even notice that his Nikes are newer than mine.
Maybe I should give the panhandling thing a try.

Red Light District: Safe Sex
by mav • • 30 Comments
An idea Shiima originally had based on some other picture he’d seen was just to have a leg draped over his shoulder and kind of the implication of oral sex. I modified the poses a bit and kind of got Mallory more into the shot as well. One of the racier things that I’ve shot, at least recently, but I think it turned out pretty well.

bar mirror
by mav • • 3 Comments
This mirror was my addition to bar. It probably doesn’t seem like a big thing, but for some reason part of me just can’t seem to change the bar itself, but I wanted to add something to it. You can’t see it in this picture, but his name is on the mirror in decals. It adds a nice since of "barness" to it and it makes me happy to look at it it. I’m sure he would have approved.
Assignment 2. Mirror/Reflection. A great, though challenging, compositional element is the mirror. Use reflections to complement your subject. Anyone doing a self-portrait in a mirror will be tagged “phoned in.” All other reflections are fair game.

Assignment 1. Frozen Time. We’ve played with motion blur, but there is another very powerful way to convey energy, freeze motion in a way that can’t possibly just exist. High shutter speed in plenty of light will give a nice sharp image no matter how fast your subject may be moving. Images will be judged on sharpness.
