Sophomore Class Field Trip

Last Friday, I went on my sopho­more class field trip to the Struthof Nazi con­cen­tra­tion camp in France. It was pretty cool, and a great place to take pic­tures. The camp is split up into three parts. The first part is the main building/museum, with exhibits and movies show­ing. The second part is the actual camp itself, with bar­racks, a scaf­fold, and the crematorium.

The bar­racks has been turned into an exhi­bi­tion of life in the camps, with draw­ings, pic­tures, and arti­facts on dis­play. In the cre­ma­to­rium, we weren’t allowed to take pic­tures, but there was an oven, a few prison cells, and an exe­cu­tion room.

After that, we went down the hill a ways and came to the gas cham­ber. It was a small build­ing with a smoke stack coming out of the side, fairly non-​discreet. Inside, it only had about three rooms, two of them with stor­age freez­ers to hold bodies and body parts for experimentation.

It was a very sober­ing, yet good experience.

See the pic­tures here (all pic­tures are full res­o­lu­tion 3008x2000px.).

More Photos (Overdue)

I finally got my pic­tures from the Christ­mas Ban­quet and from Decem­ber up on the gallery. There are still some that were taken on the last days of school that I’ll need to get, so they might be a while.

Enjoy!

Thankgiving Pictures

Yeah, so what if we had it on the 13th? Since I hadn’t posted these yet, I fig­ured today would be as good as any to put them up. Taken with a D70 with a 18-50mm f/2.8, the same one I took these shots with.

Sunrise/set

During our long three day week­end on the 14th, I got a D70 with an 18-50mm f/2.8 lens for taking pic­tures of Thanks­giv­ing dinner (I know, worng time, but that’s when we did it). I used it to get the shots I’ve been dieing to get for a while. I feel like I suc­ceeded in that respect.

Note: I uploaded the full size pic­tures (3008×2000px.) this time. You can get the high res ver­sions by click­ing on the medium size picture.

Vieil Armand

Last Friday, our fresh­men class went on a field trip to the WWI trenches on a hill in Haut-​Rhin, near where my par­ents live. The weather was hor­ri­ble. It was cold and rainy, and my socks were damp. Was pretty depress­ing. But, I got to bring along one of the yearbook’s cam­eras; their old Nikon D1x with a 50mm f/1.8 prime on it. It really sucks bat­tery life and two of the three bat­ter­ies that I brought didn’t work, so I couldn’t shoot at the end of the trip. There were times when I wished I had a longer focal length, but in gen­eral, the prime sat­is­fied my needs. I’ll get the pic­tures up in the gallery even­tu­ally. EDIT: They are now up.

Updates

More por­trait photos in the gallery, and I’ve updated the About page that you can click to on the sidebar.

Rain

For the last two days, It’s been really rain­ing. Sort of depresing.

Photos from BFA are now up on the gallery. I’ll be upload­ing more that I took during the Chillin’ ‘n Grillin’ on the first Friday, but there’s about 224MB of photos and I’m not sure how I’m sup­posed to upload them all with this lim­ited inter­net con­nec­tion we have at the dorm. I got to use a Nikon D300 with a 80-200mm f/2.8 lens, so I was pretty exited :)

I’ll get them up eventually…

’nother gallery update

The Vine­yard pics are now named and I’ve put up pics from our 2008 school carnival.
