Spring Break 2009!!!

I decided to go head down to Panama City Beach last week to work on a project that had been on my mind for quite some time.  This quickly became by far the hardest thing I had ever photographed.  Socially, I felt very out of place and it was difficult for me to connect with the people I was photographing.  After I was able to get over myself though, and start making images, I really enjoyed the work.  Making these images taught me a lot about myself and who I want to be as a photographer and regardless of the quality of the final product, i feel the production of it helped me immensely in both my photographic and personal development.  Unrelated to that, I’m still trying to come up with a title for this work, any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey Phil,

    You’ve got some nice images in there. I hear what you are saying about feeling out of your element – sometimes it takes a little time to get out of my own head too. I always find it a little daunting to make interesting pictures out of something I think of as mundane. Definitely revisit this subject though – I think you have the beginnings of a good project there. -Mike

    Hey I just saw these images on sportsshooter and I though they were great. Im about to write a blog post on your images on my site mingo-pe.blogspot.com. I was wondering if you wouldnt mind if I used one of your images to start of the post. Ill link back to your site and make sure you get credit. Again, great work.
