Uncomfortable and alone on the playground

That's how I used to most of my roll of film today for my first Photojournalism assignment. I will post pictures tomorrow night (probably), after I pick up the CD from Stellhorn Photo. I hope it doesn't cost a million dollars. Anyway, our assignment was to shoot as many different circles as possible, at F/16 and at F/2.8 for each circle, just so we could familiarize ourselves with our cameras.

I took photos of:
  • Play train tires on the playground; I also messed with the depth of field
  • Train steering wheels and speedometers
  • Round monkey bar things at another playground
  • The inside of a slide
  • Crazy '70s mosaic in our kitchen
  • Pegboard in our laundry room
  • '70s electric heat knob in our bathroom
It took almost 2 hours because I am a wuss and I couldn't stand the freezing cold for more than 15 or so minutes. I kept having to get back into my warm car, warm up while driving to a new location, and then continuing. I know, I'm pathetic! I feel so bad for anyone who has to be outside for such a long time in weather like this.
