Think We Can Swim Across?

Today I decided to play around with Aperture Priority mode on my camera. After explaining how to adjust the aperture to little miss spy's Dad, I thought that I should experiment with it myself. Little miss spy's Mom gave me these knights in shining armor, because I worked with arms and armor at The Wallace Collection during my semester abroad. Using my extensive knowledge of staging (I got an "A" in Theater 100 at UMass), I've created a dynamic scene of two soldiers arguing, while their comrades look on. By changing the aperture, I threw the background out of focus, isolated the arguing pair, and thus heightened the already immense tension of the scene.

The soldiers, of course, would be a lot more intimidating if they were bigger than a bottle cap.

Hi Ms. May: I can't believe how busy you've been with this blog. I feel like an intruder reading through it, but I was cleaning out my inbox and I came across a message from you telling me about your new blog...Objects of Communication. I have to say, I love this blog! The creativity, photography and well, little blogs by you are priceless! I should be correcting papers right now but I am too busy being enthralled by your blog!
