Robby, day#7: nike shoes

hey again! I hope you don't mind if my photos aren't taken daily but they come from my recent travels. Sorry for this but I don't have time to shoot daily and most of the photos for the newspaper I work for are about current events like politics, press conferences, car crashes, sometimes dead people... so I think it would be more interesting showing you something else. today's pic comes from my travel in USA; a warm morning of last august I was walking in Amsterdam Avenue, going to B&H (biggest photography shop I've ever seen) and I saw a pair of nike shoes abandoned under a traffic light... I just loved them, I had the same ones when I was teenager, so I felt them a bit mine too. I like the background, people, cars, high buildings... it is so "NY-style", you know, for a guy used to live in a small city where the highest building is like 2 floors, NY is so... wow. I think this is one of the last picture taken with my old Canon camera...

pic's EXIF: Canon 350D + Sigma 17/70 2.8-4.5 DC Macro @ 17mm - 100 iso - f5.0 - 1/100sec

You know, Robby ... any New Yorker probably would never have noticed those shoes sitting there. And even if they did, they certainly wouldn't have thought to photograph them.

Well done. I like it. The whole thing just screams "NYC!"

Contact:

If you would like to receive newletters and updates from the 365 Photography Project, of if you would like to contact the site administrator with questions or comments, feel free to email Alison at 365photographyproject@gmail.com .

Summary:

According to the history I've been able to find, the 365 Photography Project started several years ago. You can read about it here and here. The premise is to take one photograph every day for an entire year. The end result is a varying portfolio of 365 (or more) photographs documenting a year's worth of life.

This photo collaborative blog is designed to enable varying skill level photographers to mingle with one another, share the common interest of taking a photo a day, exchange trade secrets, and share bits of their lives and their cultures with other photographers from around the world.

We aim to make this a positive learning and sharing environment where we, as amateur photographers, can further develop our knowledge of this field over the year.

As time goes on, we will be able to look back at our posts and see our talents, perspectives, and photography habits change. We will share our experiences and our knowledge of photography with one another and, as a result, we will all learn and grow.

Guidelines:

Adding a photo:
1. Formating the subject:
Photographer name: Day # ____. Name of photo (if any).

This will make searching much easier. You may add tags if you like.

2. Please include a summary of the photo, why it inspired you, any editing you did. Also, if you're willing to accept critiques/ suggestions, please note this in the summary. The photos will not be open for critique otherwise.

3. The blog has not been flagged for adult content, however it easily can be. We are all adults, if a participating photographer wishes to post what could be viewed as adult content, we will notify Blogger and have the status changed. This is not an negative thing, just fair warning for any potential viewer who may come across our photo-blog via a web search. Please notify me if you're posting potentially adult content.

Commenting:
As noted, this blog is not a photo critiquing site. If a photographer welcomes photo critiques, he/she will express that following the summary.

Positive comments are always welcome, however any negativity will be deleted upon viewing unless photographer has opened him/herself up for critique.

Mat Ryan wrote his bio so well I didn't have the heart to change the perspective. So... without further adieu, here it is: "So I'm Mat Ryan. If the name sounds familiar it's because I share the same name as a football player, a musician, and a Mexican that graduated with me, except they all spelled the first name with 2 t's and I use one. I was born on February 18, 1985. I'm a full time mechanic, I work part time at a restoration shop, and when I have the money and get sick of work I disappear for a month at a time between driving across the U.S. or hopping trains and sleeping with strangers (as in, couchsurfing) in Europe. I see the world a little differently than most, at least from what my experience has been, and I hope that shows in some of my photography. I also accept criticism, both positive or negative.
