A. Schmitz Photography

Typology Ideas:

Rough Draft.

 Photographing while at a Rodeo. Capturing the expressions of the Cowboys before, during, or after they have performed their Bull Riding Expertise.

Going off of the previous idea… Taking pictures of the Cowboys attire while at the rodeo. Or getting everyday Cowboys in their daily attire while visiting Old Fort Worth, Texas. Images of an everyday Texas Wrangler or…

Photographing A Stranger… Test One

Metho: Over the shoulder in stealth mode while attempting to blend in at the grocery store and pretending to shop.

Focus: Practicing being able to hold and keep camera horizontal and capturing interesting images without being able to look thru the lens. As well as not checking the outcome of images until Test complete. While maintaining anonymity.

Right now, I think I am going to personify that of a private detective, watching, following, observing its subject from afar. Not directly interacting with the subject.

I’ve chosen my own mother as my stranger. She is someone I am not close with and I would like to know what she does during the day.

The subject may change, either by choice or by force. But I do want to become a private detective.…

Emulation of Lee Friedlander.

If I’m in a crowd, if I’m alone

on the street or in my home,

I’m going to live the life I sing about

in my song.
