nana revisited

for my final project i ended up combining photographs from my nana's house and fulkerson hardware with old receipts, photographs, sheet music, newspaper clippings, and recipes (for those of you who know nana, i used a copy of her famous toffee recipe. yumm).  i put them all in a box that i had taken apart and covered with fabric from an old floral jacket and lined.  the end result (hopefully) looked like a box of old memories that you would find in your grandmother's closet.

portraits

our latest assignment for class was to take portraits and ask what makes a portrait a portrait rather than a picture of a person.

here are my final three:

marielle

ari

i almost turned this one in instead.

andy

self portraits are next...i may or may not be posting them.

scavenger hunt

i haven't posted for awhile and it's primarily due to school.  i'm currently taking a photography course for non-majors and our first assignment was this scavenger hunt.  all of the photos had to be in black  and white, hence the lack of color, and some were last minute so they're pure crap or complete bullshit.

no judgement por favor.

also we have an ad campaign due in a week or two, so look for photos of that assignment soon.

bird's eye view

snake's point of view

where the camera is moving

something blurred

something panned

vertical for a reason

horizontal for a reason 

where three people form a triangle

a photograph within a photograph

of yourself

abstract forms

that is suprising

of moving water (so you can't really tell that it's moving, just know that it is...)

that demonstrates the rule of thirds

with direct light

with indirect light

with diffused light

where the middle is empty

that combine words and image

about cultural relationships

about truth (human waste)

about your greatest fear

about myth (unicorns!)

about sexuality

that you've always wanted to make (bullshit but i liked the texture)

with conflicting messages

that tells a story

from a dream

of yourself as an animal (spirit animals were acceptable)

of something insignificant

that reminds you of a movie (garden state)
