Week 2

Assignment: 25 old (Lincoln era)
25 new (my era)

Craft: How did you do it? (find, shoot, and print)
-I went online and searched for many Abraham Lincoln pictures. I also googled many images during the civil war and that era. Then I took my camera with me where ever I went throughout the day and found the most interesting things to take pictures of. I went around and took many pictures of my room and the atmosphere around me. I also used some great pictures that I have taken in the past which are some of my favorites and created many memories.

Composition: Why did you choose these photos as your best (or like them the most)?

The reason I choose the one of Abraham Lincoln is because of his crazy hair in this picture. This picture is very unique and stands out because his hair is spiky and has a happy grin on his face.
The reason I choose the palm tree picture as my favorite is because I love palm trees and they were beautiful in Hawaii. I have always loved palm trees and think they are so pretty! I also like the scene in the background with the different color blue in the sky and water.
Concept: Which of your photos might you mix together and why? (2 photos new and old)

The reason that I choose these two pictures is because I think they both resemble each other in way. They are both very handsome and standing with their hands behind their back. My boyfriend looks a little bit more happier than Abe does in this picture but I think they will mix good together.

week 1



Assignment- set up blog

Craft-process; logged in and set up my account

Composition- 1. why this photo? why this template?

I picked this photo because it describes what kind of person I am in many ways. I am an anthlete that is passionate about basketball and is proud to now play for Saint Xavier University. This is also one of my senior pictures that was taken last year.

Concept- 1. if you had a soap box what would you yell if the world was listening?

If i had to yell something out to the world I would say to never take anything or anyone for granted because one day you might regret it and never get that chance again. People look past things alot and think that theres something better out in the world instead of realizing what they have in front of them and being thankful for what they have
