Alphabet Assignment

We were assigned to collect pictures of things that resemble the letters of the alphabet, that is when we were given a curve ball and were told to make a phrase out of the jumbled collection. After much though, and help from the internet of course, I made the phrase "Hold On' out of the mess of letters/shapes. I picked this phrase to help convey the outlook I keep on life.

Old & New New York

This photo caught my eye because of the variety of shades of black, many shaded of white, grey, and black help highlight the environment as well as cause emphasis on the buildings.

This painting of hers was very eye-catching due to the vibrant colors and the mysterious shape

Macro Project

For this Macro Project I decided to use my Art Seminar class as inspiration, though some are not necessarily from that class, most are. I played with the sparkle, the light, and the vast colors to help edit the picture. Using photoshop and playing with the saturation, hue, brightness, vibrance, and contrast I used what the pictures already had and made what was needed to be seen to stand out.

                 
                                      

Negative vs. Positive

 
 


I noticed that the image became very clear once switched to positive, it is a good way to learn the how negatives and positives work in our "digital darkroom"
