Scanner Art

No, I was not just fooling around during class. Yes, this was an actual assignment. That doesn't, however, mean that I had no fun with it (because I most definitely did!) Observe:

Smile!

Frown!

The sliiiide!

Sleeping.

The eye stretch.

The mouth stretch.

Angry Man!

Big-eyed.

More big eyes

My favorite...

The (failed) nose stretch.

Arguments.

Trapped behind glass

Intimidation.

Yes. A fun time was had by all today.

Intimate Portraits

I took many of my photos while in Ashland with the thespians, which provided great photo opportunities. My take on this project was that I could get the most intimate shots by catching people in their natural positions. That's why I could be heard throughout the trip yelling "Stop! Don't move!" *click!* "Okay, you can move now!"

The rest I took in my neighborhood when we actually got some sunshine. I captured the looks of pure joy on my young neighbors' faces.

Mosaics!

I'm not sure how well these will show up. They were such large files I couldn't get them to upload, so I took screenshots of them and uploaded those. Resourcefulness, I tell you!

This one is my friend Christie!

This is the bridge at Tualatin Park!

Street Photography

The street photography project was a bit of a step outside my comfort zone because it required me to be around lots of strangers, which is one of the scariest things to me.

 

I think there's something very neat about taking pictures of someone taking pictures.

When I saw how much fun this little boy was having jumping over the picnic tables, I knew I had to get a shot. This was the only one I got because he stopped right after I captured it. To me, this photo really captures the simple joys of childhood.

That thing scares me.

That would scare me too. I don't know what they were thinking.

How sweet is that?

Architecture Prints

These are my prints from the architecture project. These are not digital like the first ones.

For this project, my dad took me into Portland one sunny afternoon. I had a ton of fun with this project and it has made me look at buildings in a whole new way. Now whenever I'm in Portland, I look at them and say to myself "that would make a great photo." It has definitely made me look at the city in a different light.

Architecture Warm-up (In Class)

Today was a great day! My photo teacher instructed us to wander around school and take pictures of the architecture. This isn't exactly architecture, but it's one of my favorite shots.
