Week 4 (July 1-8)
This week has been fairly depressing, my great grandmother had passed away on June 29th, so I decided to focus my work on lifeless things. Dying things. The beauty I photographed last week had died, and the inspiration hadn't. My grandmother inspired me to grasp beauty and treasure it, now that she's gone, it's almost as if the beauty in almost everything had died.
Week 5 (July 9-16)
I haven't had really much time on my hands for taking pictures, my summer hasn't been that eventful; other than making a bunch of money and investing in a REAL camera. I'm very excited to purchase a new camera that actually has amazing quality. For next week, I really want to get out of the house and photograph the beauty in this small town. I'm excited, but I'm nervous, just because I'm hoping one of the two days that I have off will be nice outside. Well, anyways.. I'm rambling. So, this week I sort of focused on editing a lot, and myself. :p ew. BUT! it looks nothing like me, so it's okay!

| I took this picture earlier in the summer, right before school ended, and I just really liked it because of the facial expression and I decided to edit it black and white and darken specific areas. |
 |
| I LOVE this picture because for one: I love my fish! and two: the colors are just mysterious and out there. |
 |
| I like this picture for the softness and the editing actually makes the photo look beautiful. |
 |
| I like this picture because of the angelic editing, and the brightness in the photo . |
 |
| I like this picture because I LOVE these things in my ice creaaam! SOOOO GOOD. |
 |
| And again, they're just amazing and I thought that the texture would be great to photograph. |
 |
| Threw the lid in the photo more. |
 |
| There's this one cluster on my table that just bothers me, and is so random. I decided photographing it would be a good idea because all of the colors just come together. |
 |
| I love photographing close ups of almost everything, and I got these letters from Carroll College about my ACT and Scholarships that I'm eligible for, so I decided that photographing their professionalism would just flow well. |
death can be beautiful...there is dignity and truth in death and it is another phase that living things go through in the cycle that is life...it is good to pause and honor the woman your great grandmother was.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good thing that I actually had someone in my life for once, before she died, that inspired me. I was always clueless on what to do but now that I had her to inspire me with her intellect it's almost as if I'm a new person myself. It's almost like I can do anything now, it's like I finally have confidence because of her.
ReplyDeleteI really like the fish photo partially because I love those fish for being so elegant looking and because it has a sort of abstract feel to it. There is a off balance of light and dark and the fish being active in the light can have a conceptual side to it. The patterns help lead you from the brightness and the subject to the dark waters.
