final series for intermediate photo II.
i chose to do a series of a typical day through shadows.
wake up. shower. eat. work. exercise.

in dreams, we enter a world that’s entirely our own.

how dirty boys get clean.

nails for breakfast.

working for the weekend.

exercise to keep curves tight.

panorama.
create a panorama that is seamless or not.
i LOVED david hillard’s work.
so looked at him as inspiration.

haiku.
we had to create a 3 line poem using 3 pictures.
we had to not find obvious connections, but unexpected associations.
i used a medium format camera.

each picture contains lines of different direction.
vertical. horizontal. diagonal.

final series.
(our choice.)
i chose to take portraits of my family in their natural environment.
i got a new diana+ camera and wanted to try it out.

dad takes care of the family.

mom does the cooking.

paige likes to decorate.

megan sometimes needs time to relax.

…and i am nervous about the future.
(i wanted my picture to be different. i’m graduating December 17, 2007. As excited as I am about graduation, it’s scary. I’m going to be in the real world. Get a real job. I like the fact that the picture in the polaroid isn’t quite in focus either because I’ll be one of the many out there after graduation. One of the many that’s looking for a job. Trying to get recognized. It’s a big world out there. And I will soon be jumping into it.)

experimentation.
the choice was up to us.
destroy. burn. scratch. cut&paste. etc.

1. i burned the negative with a lighter.
2. put the paper under glass.
3. splashed water on the glass.

all hands on deck.

1. i scratched the negative by stepping on it.
2. printed it.
3. then splashed the paper with developer.

i got my sunglasses and the radio on.

childhood memories.
when i was younger my mom would make us eat our peas before we could get dessert.
my sister and i hated them.
one night at dinner we realized there was a vent between our chairs.
so, yes.
bye bye peas! hello dessert!

eww. peas.

and of course i couldn’t go anywhere without my cabbage patch, nancy.
she went anywhere and everywhere with me.
i’ve had her since age 2.
and she still sleeps with me.

sense of place .
we had to take pictures of a place that meant something to us.
since i moved downtown recently, i moved into a new apartment.

all work. no play.

what’s for dinner tonight?

who’s the fairest of them all?

read between the lines.

here’s a few things from my darkroom photo class.
i haven’t had time to scan a lot.
more to come.

portraits.

self portrait.

or so she thought.

here’s the collection so far.
i’m taking more pictures soon.
so, things will be added and maybe removed.
let me know any suggestions. comments. questions.
thanks.

beauty school drop-out.

hello tomorrow.

sorry, no vacancy.

tag, you’re it.

perfect day.

sky fell over me.

road work ahead.

rough around the edges.

pay at the pump.

rollin’ on dubs.

paper or plastic?

life’s a dump.

read between the lines.

shut the window. keep the world outside.

sift through the junk that was left here.

Hey guys.
It’s about time I show some of my work online.
I’m working on a series for my advanced photo class.
After living in a smaller town my whole life, I finally moved downtown.
Sometimes, things aren’t always nice and pretty. Some are overlooked. And some are just odd.
It’s entitled “Home, Sweet Home”.
Hope you enjoy!
