What an amazing book! I got it for Christmas and can hardly put it down.
I definately like candid shots...and shots that tell a bigger story. I also like black and white photography. When I look at old black and white photos, I feel a sense of wonder and mystery about the past and the people in the picture. I also think black and white drowns out unnecessary distractions in the photo...like if you have a great shot of your subject but a cluttered background. Finally, I like feet, fingers, hands, ears, eyes...so beautiful.
Here's my attempt to capture my style. In the first picture, I think it might be a little off with regard to how it's framed. In the 2nd picture, I'm trying to capture the loving relationship between my daughter and her dog. I played with the saturation settings on the camera to get the coloring.

Yay! I'm so glad someone else is joining me on here! I got the book for Christmas too, and I love it so far.
Your pictures are really fun! What kind of camera do you have?

Thanks! I have a Canon Rebel xSi. It's a fun camera, but I have to confess it has more functions than I know what to do with yet!

I have a Canon 40D, so I think our controls are pretty similar. Maybe we can learn together!

Thanks for your kind words. Regarding the B & W images, I have a setting on my camera that allows me to shoot in monochrome. I find the black and whites turn out a lot better when I make the adjustment on my camera vs. in a photo editing program.

I ADORE the one with the dog! great composition, I love how the dog is looking right at me, and I think maybe b & w would make it more dramatic as well. But I love it as is too!
