Benalla Camera Club - July 2011 competition

This month the competition themes are Photojournalism (EDPI) and Black & White Open for the mounted print section.

I love black and white photography, and would love the opportunity to do more work in this area. Unfortunately it also means more time in photoshop refining those skills. Here is what I came up with for this month.

I love photojournalism, (but I don't think I'm very good at it) and this is an area that I would like to work on. I love the concept of photographing the 'ordinary' in peoples lives, and I need to be more confident in approaching people and just asking if I can take the photo.

When the floods were in Benalla last year, there were some boys riding their bikes throught the waters. I overheard them say that they were hungry and wanted some chips, so I offered to buy them some hot chips in return for them being photographed. This is what I got....

and my last photo is of my gorgeous cat, Sassy. I've wanted to enter this picture for some time now, and this seems to be an appropriate catagory. Of course I'm biased, she's mine, she's cute and she's clever.
