The Spring Revival

This picture was taken for a role on sandwiching negatives. I sandwiched a photo of a Dogwood bloom and a bird cage that serves as a flower pot. The flowers in the bird cage are dead, which represents a conflict between winter and spring. 

Sandwiching Species

This photo was taken fior a role on sandwiching negatives, like a double exposure. I called it "Sandwiching Species" because of the two frogs and how different they are. 

Silhouetting Nature

This photo was for a role on silhouettes. I increased the brightness so that the silhouette is more pronounced. 

Senior Art Show

This is a poster I made for the Senior Art Show at the end of the year. This piece required many different layers: the black background that acts as a border around/between photos, each individual photo with the blue halftone pattern (meant to look like a Lichtenstein), each individual text box, along with the text in them. The desired effect of the series with the edits was the look of a comic book strip--hence why I went for the Lichtenstein look and the Comic Sans font. 

Fish Eye

This is a photo of my best friend, Liz, taken with my fish eye lens. We decided to take advantage with the hidden, disintegrating walls and the numerous, unexplained grafitis that exist on the downtown mall. 

Elizabeth

I took this photo with a 35mm fish eye lens camera. The picture was very grainy, due to some function of the camera I presume, so I sharpened the image. I added the lens flare, increased the brightness and contrast, and changed the color balance to add a blue/cyan tint. 

Ansel Adams

Photograph by Ansel Adams. Techniques and composition: leading lines--edge of dune, lines in sand; texture of sand and clouds; contrast, shadows on dune; good tonal range. Personal response: I chose this photo because it really embodies Adams' work. This speaks to me because it shows the many faces of nature and how it can change so easily.
