Welcome to Photography by Joshua Garner.
Here, I will be posting my latest images and projects for you to preview and enjoy. For up to date information, be sure to become a follower. I am currently enrolled in the BFA, Photography and Digital Imaging program at Paier College of Art. For years I have been experimenting with photography, and find myself consistently amazed by its lack of limitations.

Insomnia 4/29/11

    The weather is often a large factor in my shooting, and this last week has been no exception. I was glad to welcome the warmth of the new Spring season, but somehow I overlooked the fact that it comes with an abundance of rain.
    Because of the interchangeable lenses and numerous moving parts, to my knowledge, there isn't any company currently making waterproof DSLR's. In order to protect my investments I devised a system to keep them dry. I covered my camera and lens with a plastic bag from the grocery store. It was simple, it was cheap, and it worked.
    I remembered to bring my recently upgraded camera bag, tripod, and umbrella. However, by the end of the night my Nike sneakers were soaked through to the sock.  I was standing in puddles and walking across fields of tall dew soaked grass. On my list of things that bother me, a wet sock is number two, but a missed opportunity is number one.
