Portraits

This is my one of my good friends, Jeremy. Him and I were hanging out and I asked him if I could photograph him for this project. He agreed and he made all these weird faces and that matches his personality. We did this on some weekend because we were both bored and it was rainy and no fun to go outside.

Web assignment 11/13/12

      Self portraits that am thinking about is sporting, such as basketball or football poses. like me hanging on a basketball rim, or palming a basketball, or throwing a football stance. Another idea I have is me just being lazy. Maybe me just taking pictures of me laying on the couch, on my bed, or on the floor. Another idea is a silhouette of me standing infront of a light source, such as the sun or something that is bright enough to silhouette me. Another idea is putting my camera on the floor and taking a picture of me standing over the camera so the viewer can just see an extension of my leg or legs up to my face. I would also alter these photos a little bit using photoshop by making them black and white or cross processing them.

1) One of Andy Gilmores photos, that is made of lines that come together to make a nice optical photograph. I like it because you can see many different things in this picture. If you choose to, you can see spotlights on a stage, or maybe a kind of airplane, or maybe just and interesting collection of lines.
 2) This is one of Daniel Seung Lee's photographs of binoculars over Niagara falls. I like this photograph because the binoculars look like people just standing around looking at something. It is curious to know what they are looking at.

3) This is an abstract photo by Diana Wong of New York city of the Empire state building. The reason I like this photo is because the lights seem to be scratched onto the photo, and is not a completely natural photo.

Web assignment #5

Beauty

Beauty in photography is what people think is attractive and relatable to their minds eye (and their real eyes) The characteristics of photographic beauty is lighting, color, shading, angle, what is actually happening. Something that is considered "ugly" is not really ugly, every person has their own opinion about everything, What is beautiful to some may be ugly to others. For an example, my friend doesn't think that the Mona Lisa is good at all, he thinks it is just another portrait, but some people believe that it is a magical and mind blowing.

1. Alfred Stieglitz is known for his many photos he took in the years of 1892-1946.

I like this picture because he looks very... Sinister... I don't know why but he just looks like he means business.

2. He was married to Georgia O'Keeffe in December, 11 1924. O'Keeffe was a famous painter.

MACRO Photos

This is a leaf that I took on a tree, facing toward the sky.

This little bugger was on the sidewalk, about to crawl into the road.

This is another leaf that was on the brick walkway.
Another leaf that was on the cement. 

This is a picture of a wolf paw I found on some flyer.

This is a cherry starburst wrapper on the grass.

A water bottle cap that was in the dirt.

A really big spider that I took a picture of while I was in California.



Pinhole Photographs


The negative version of my pinhole picture. It looks like I'm a ghost and there is a strange world behind me.











This is a positive version of the pinhole picture. It looks I had my picture taken by a very low quality camera... Which I was... But im still surprised that it came out okay.

Sun Glare Photos

This is the sun shining through leaves. This tree was in front of the school.

The walk way in the south lot of the school with the sun shining down.

Not as sun glared as the other tree one, but was interesting.
