Words > Image

For this assignment we are dealing with homophones. Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings and are spelled different ways. For this homophone assignment I will be making a diptic of the two words that sound the same way. The words I am using for this assignment are "Wax" and "Whacks". I will be doing this digitally so I can see the color. For my image of "wax", I will have someone hold a candle and let it melt on their hands. I will also just drip wax on their hands to watch it dry in cool patterns, then take the picture up close with the background blurred so its just focused on the hands. For "whacks", I will be taking a picture of someone with a baseball bat or tennis racket running up behind someone who is just standing, asking like they are going to hit them from behind. I am going to try and make this as realistic as possible and make the persons facial expression look like their really going to hit them hard. I will then put the two images next to each other to create a diptic.

Independent Project

Multiple Perspectives

Independent Project: Object

For my independent project this quarter I am doing "Object". The object I chose is different colored leaves changing because of the seasons. So basically natural things representational of fall. I've taken pictures of dead trees, changing leave colors and flowers - several things.
 

 

    I looked up online some photos to get some ideas and further my grasp of this and these are what I found. 

Robert Glenn Ketchum is a famous natural landscape photographer that I found when I was researching on this. I looked up some of his photos and he had a collection specifically during the fall season. I thought his pictures were incredible and the colors were just AMAZING.

Growing Up

When I was a kid I used to be pretty shy. Kadie was always the more outgoing one and Tasha was just on a whole different level. I don't know why I was like that but the only person that could bring me out of my shell was Kadie. In the photograph of me with the bunny face you can see I'm a little bit awkward. I'm tugging at my bathing suit and I'm smiling with my mouth closed. In the picture of Kadie and I, I'm crawling on the counters, wearing my grandpas glasses and have huge smile. But if you look at Kadie, she's making an even funnier face than I am. Even though I was a bit shy as a child, I can honestly say they were some of the best years of my life. I was so carefree as a child and different have to worry about judgement or anything stressful in life. Everything was just fun.

  

Growing older I began to realize who I wanted to be. Middle school I would say was my awkward stage but in high school I think I grew out of my shell. I no longer needed Kadie to pull me out and be myself. I am now a much more confident girl who is just happy to be myself. I want to laugh and enjoy the things I do. I NEVER take myself to seriously because there's really no point. I love to make fun of myself and just laugh. You don't always need to be smiling in a picture and trying to look pretty and you don't always need to impress people. I've learned to just be myself, and I can honestly say I'm loving it.
