52 Week Project: Week 4

By Alan Olson | Published January 25, 2010

One cool thing (for me anyway) is that at Christmas, my parents break out this cool nightlight (which reminds me I need to get one). I took a few pictures of it for fun.

52 Week Project: Week 2

By Alan Olson | Published January 11, 2010

I’ve been to the Air Force Academy several times in my life and it remains one of my favorite buildings to view and visit. Out of all the pictures I’ve taken, this one of the entrance I took in August 2008 is still one of my favorites.

52 Week Project: Week 1: Seven Falls

By Alan Olson | Published January 4, 2010

As part of my 2010 goals, I’m committing myself to posting a minimum of one picture a week. I’m not going to throw up a picture just to ensure I have a post up but rather display what I think are my better images in order to garner feedback. I look at too many of my images of 2009 and go “what was I thinking?”

I took this in August of 2008 while on a family vacation in Colorado at Seven Falls. Ironically, the actual pictures I took of the falls are pretty unremarkable so you get rocks and sky instead. I boosted the saturation of the sky with LR2.
