Pete’s Photowalk: The Rebuilding Center

The first photowalk of the holiday season. We ended up on Mississippi Avenue at The Rebuilding Center, one of the coolest, most eclectic home remodeling stores I’ve ever seen.

I’d called Chris at the Rebuilding Center the day before — I know they’re sensitive about class-type things going on in the place, and wanted to make sure there were no hard feelings about shooting on a crowded Saturday. No problem. Downright appreciative that I’d called first, in fact.

We were focusing specifically on camera function this time. With so many people carrying professionally capable DSLRs around their necks, sporting inequitable skill in using them, I thought it a good opportunity to look at the top 3-4 things to do with your camera that can improve your photos and your confidence when working quickly and taking advantage of natural light.

So many wonderful trinkets and bobbles and textures make for a great photographic playground. If you’ve never been, take the time to stop into this treasure of other peoples’ trash and soak it in. I’ve posted the full gallery here and, as always, comments are appreciated!
