Changes

I've decided to switch gears for this blog and how it is going to be set up and run. I will use this location as my mindless/pointless banter about life and everything it contains; my photoblog can be found here
The title of this blog I changed from Ryan Shellenberger Photography to Headwind, as I see life as a headwind in that everything you encounter in your day-to-day is a struggle in some sense just a headwind creates a struggle in various modes of transportation and travel. These struggles that we all encounter are in no sense all bad and everything that we encounter can and should be taken as a learning experience. Just as a forest is grown to be strong by the force of wind forcing trees to grow stronger our experiences in life force us to grow stronger emotionally, intellectually, and physically. I hope you enjoy the change of pace.

LIFE

So its been a while since I've been on this thing, not that that matters since I'm the only one here, anywho I clicked the button for google books this morning and much to my surprise I found that they have four full issues of LIFE Magazine on display for all to view, further investigation revealed to me that google partnered with TIME-LIFE back in 08 and the full archive from 1936-1972 is available for your viewing pleasure. LIFE as you all (no one) know was an influential magazine published to showcase American life in the form of photoessays. It could be claimed that LIFE invented the photoessay. All that aside its a pretty sweet collection of yesteryear, check out the adverts in them hillarity ensues. Click Here to see the collection of full view issues of LIFE on Google Books.

Liacorus Walk

These pictures were of a set of 65 I took for my 3401 Photography class. They are of Temple University's Liacorus Walk.

Soon to come

I will be posting some of my work shortly, once I am able to get things organized I hope to have this as a regular reflection of my work.
