2023_CLondon52_September: Exploring Genres

From the C.London website: "This month, let's dive into exploring different photography genres. From landscapes to wildlife, documentary to sports, we're about to broaden our skills and capture amazing stories. Who knows, maybe you’ll find a new passion. Or whatever the opposite of passion is."

1.  Landscape

Nature provides all sorts of visual illusions.  This rock face is no exception.

What Do You See?

2.  Documentary/Photojournalism

Former Allstate Insurance Corporate Campus

Northbrook, IL

I photographed this scene on 8/31/23, the day the September prompts were released to Patreon members.  Turns out it foreshadowed an article  published on September 3rd in the Chicago Tribune that discussed the replacement of corporate campuses with logistics and data centers.

Out With The Old...

3.  Wildlife

I had to travel 1,000 miles for this photo.  Was hoping for something more exotic, but the deadline was approaching.

Crushed It!

52Frames - Week 27 - Negative Space

18th Hole

Fox Lake Country Club

Fox Lake, IL

Captured my buddy's best drive of the day on the finishing hole. He was crushing them all day.

Admittedly, not a great negative space shot, but the best one I was able to make this week for the challenge.

Inches Away

52Frames - Week 4 - Minimalist

Par 3, 13th hole at Desert Willow Mountain View course.  Unfortunately, this was not my drive. Minimalism and my scores are mutually exclusive!

Three Jeffs and a Gene

CLondon52w42: Alike

From the C.London website: Open For Interpretation

As soon as I arranged this golf game, I knew this was going to be the shot.  We got it out of the way early, so thinking about it wouldn't screw up my game.  Didn't work; game was screwed up anyway.

The four of us worked together for many years before Gene and this Jeff retired.

Social Distance Golf

52 Frames - Week 19 - Roll of Film (Alternate)

I was able to play some socially distanced golf early the week of this challenge and used a few of my 24 frames of digital film to ensure I had a shot to submit.

Sunset

52Frames - Week 8 - Pairs

Celebrating the sunset of my PMA career with a group of colleagues/friends who've had a great influence our success. I cannot thank them enough.
