FW7 - Aga’s Work

Posted in Photography on February 9th, 2009 // 2 comments on this entry // Share on Facebook

Friend and fellow photographer Aga posted her images from the Golden Gloves event. Check them out here. I think my favorite is the referee holding up the boxer’s hand. The shot from under the table with the tape is a close second.

Aga took this one of me. A wise man once said, “If your photographs aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough.” This though is TOO close. I think my camera is on his back.

The resulting photograph.

FW7

I returned today from the Foundation Workshop. It’s the best photography workshop out there! Under the instruction of some of the best wedding photojournalists and former newspaper photographers in the country, students work independently for two days covering a photo story within the community. During the evenings every photograph is critiqued in a small group setting. It’s painful at first but it’s been the best way I’ve grown as a photographer.

This was my second year to do the workshop. Also returning was New York photographer Aga of Aga Images. Together we were assigned the annual Golden Gloves Tournament held at the Hella Shriner’s Temple in Garland Texas. Here are some of my photos. Let me know what you think.
