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.).

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!
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.
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.
Enjoy!
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.
