My Final Project

My final project was themed after the seven deadly sins. I thought it would be fun. The tree and grapes were photographed from DVC, the tree is right outside of the lab and the grapes are from the garden at DVC. Most other images were found online and the text were made and altered in photoshop. This took a long time and many trial and error with the context and composition but here it is in all it's evil glory!

capturing lights in unexpected places

This was captured in the sensory room where I work. In this photo you can see why this tool is useful in calming and stimulating the mind.

July 4th

I thought this would be a great opportunity to practice using my camera. I played around with shutter speed for most of the fireworks show. My favorite images came out of a 4 second shutter speed. Some of these photos will show you why I should use a tripod, but also you can capture a lot of great looking accidents!

Assignment2

This assignment was not as fun as the first. I like art a million times more than craft. boring. I'm not even sure If i did it correctly. I had to return the borrowed camera and buy a new one(thanks mom, first payment in next week!) a few days later. I needed some time to figure out the light meter and how the camera functions. At least I now have my own camera. This assignment sucks but I know it's useful, I think I need to take English class again because I used the word suck in a school related blog. This is the contact sheet of assignment 2.

Just for Fun

I took this photo of sunflowers that my workgroup collected last week in the Adaptive Horticulture Class at DVC. I thought they looked beautiful so I captured them in photo before they withered away.
If you'd like to see where these plants are grown, they are in the garden between the tennis courts and the baseball field.

My first assignment- 48 in 24, 48 shots in 24 hours of my life

The night this was assigned I started with photos of my roommate's cat, my fish and whatever I saw, sooo boring!
I wasn't supposed to take the borrowed camera to work but I decided that my job was a big part of my life. It involves many people and plenty of fantastic photo opportunities. A few moments were left to the imagination because I did not want the camera damaged due to tantrums and water fights, so I left my shot time up to the more quiet and relaxed moments. My favorite shot involved a man who was very willing to be photographed doing whatever he felt like doing (as is). no posing just BEING.

Money Tree where are you?

A camera I want is $572 and I am without tree of sweet ripened dollar bills to pick from. I guess I'll borrow my mother's Canon, which isn't the best type for this summer class but it's better than nothing. My years of experience working with Photoshop will be a HUGE help this semester. Good Luck to me and my non-exsistant tree. Oh well, this "tree thing" seems like a good idea for a future project!
