52 WoA: Week 44 - Animals

As a photographer, sometime you need to work on things outside of your normal purview and this project is going to help us (and you) challenge, grow and creatively develop your photography as a whole. Weekly for the next year, we will be sharing our images with you here!

For those of you interested in participating, PLEASE join us! The more the merrier! You definitely do not need to be a professional photographer, this is something you can easily do with your point and shoot, cell phone, ipad2, etc. You can comment with a link to your image here on our blog or on our La Brisa fan page or you can tag La Brisa Photography in your image on your own FB page or use the hashtag #52WoA on twitter that way we can share your efforts with everyone else! If you are interested in joining our La Brisa Aspiring Photographer Workshop group on FB, please request to join as we will also be sharing our images there too.

Next Thursday, June 7th, Week 45: “Music” will be due. The image must be created between today and June 7th. Good luck!

Here are our Week 44 – “Animals” images!

after many years of searching, our team's dreams have finally come to fruition. the rare sighting of a silas in its natural habitat has helped complete all of our lifelong aspirations.

see him as he consumes his daily intake of gumdrops as they are his primary source of nourishment (and so he would sit still for us).

he warily watches his onlookers as they study his every move. it will be a long time until he will seen by society again. enjoy it while you can.

Happy to introduce you to Sierra. She is a beautiful 6 year old and she’s visiting New Orleans with her human parents for the weekend!
