1 of 2 pictures for my independent project for photo class. My friend wore a wedding dress and we sort of messed around until I got a nice image out of it. I edited it a bit so it was more earthy in tone and so she stood out in the brilliant, almost blinding white.
Anonymous asked: are you planning to go see 'the beatles: the lost concert' film?
HA I hope this isn’t spam
I honestly just looked it up. It seems like it could be interesting if it’s not all about making another dollar off the band. I’m a pretty loyal fan, but I might wait to see it on DVD
Mother’s Day
My mom doesn’t believe in mother’s day, which I get because it’s sort of an American holiday and we should appreciate our parents every day, etc etc. But today my siblings and I went out and picked flowers from our garden and made a pretty little bouquet for her. I’m happy when we can all show her how much she means to us, whatever day of the year it might be
This project was “Pile of Stuff”, in which we had to take three separate pictures of the same pile of items. Naturally each picture had to be different in some way or else it wouldn’t be interesting, so I decided to take pictures of the different stages an egg goes through when you cook it. I ended up taking four pictures instead of three, and I’m really really proud of how it turned out :)
People are people
Today my family was cleaning out the garage, and I found this cardboard box with an old briefcase inside. It turns out it belonged to my father’s father, an Irishman who died of cancer some years ago. The briefcase contained letters and pamphlets, and even his PhD thesis on the proteins of two molecules (I assume they were molecules…they had very long names and I’m useless at chemistry). It was one of those moments where you think about how the adults around you all had an almost entire other life before you knew them as a middle- or old-aged individual.
Finding his briefcase made me think about my grandpa. I’m happy I got to know him, but also sad that he passed before I could really talk with him. As a kid you only see one side of your relatives, teachers, etc. Today I saw a different side to my grandfather, a side that I hope I get to see more of soon.
Project for my photo class, the assignment was to make an everyday object more interesting. I’m kind of happy with how it turned out, could’ve been better but ehhh
My sister and I at the Children’s Museum in Indy. I loved this place when I was younger…even though the House of Mirrors sort of scared me ><
My brother with some bubbles :) I used a bubble machine that my friends got me for my birthday, and I had him wear a rainbow shirt so it would match the reflections of light off the bubbles. Shot in my garden; I’m quite pleased with them. These are just a few of my favorites.
Was experimenting with depth of field. Kind of cliched, but I like them. The star one was just for fun (it’s a fairy wand I made in art class…yes, I know I’m cool.)
