Excitement!

Looking forward to Sunday! Got BIG NEWS!!

I'm Back!

I'm back!

Paper

I decided to go with the Gloss paper. On the sample images that were printed off on three types of paper, I think the Gloss made the light pop and add depth, that the canvas and satin couldn't do. There isn't a lot of the Gloss paper, so the scale of the images won't be as large as we discussed in class. But they should turn out great.

Me

Pictures say a thousand words. That is a fact, and it could probably say more than a thousand. Pictures like the famous one of the Kent State shooting, where the girl kneels over the body of someone who was fatal shot. The man who stood in front of those tanks in the famous square over in China. These pictures tell thousands of stories. But what about the people who took them? They're not LeBron James, or George W. Bush. They're people like me, some no body from no where. That's pretty awesome. I'm just an average person, and for that reason when there is any unusual moments, I should be next to take the photo of a lifetime.

Food For Thought 2

I know I've already thought about this before, but I couldn't stop thinking about it last night. I was reminded because I was so hungry and my friend ordered a pizza with all kinds of things on it. I only like plain cheese, so I wasn't going to eat any of it. Certain smells bring up memories...good or bad, and I couldn't help but think of art at the same time. The pizza reminded me of my light pictures. All the nasty green and yellows, and the red sauce. In a way, it is like making food when you're taking pictures. There is a certain procedure that one follows in order to make great picture. Just like the oven baking the picture, the lens and camera work together to make or bake a great image.

When I was at home, I had no internet, so I wrote down this blog. I will be posting something tonight as well.

Breathe of Fresh Air

Man is it cold here. Not a whole lot of wind to chill, but the first step outside, it bites all the way down to the bone. Joints just aren't as smooth. The way I can see my breathe outside, is beautiful. I want to take a picture of it. All is movement, rotations...pretty neat stuff. I'd like to take some pictures tonight, but we'll see, because it is so cold. And my black lab, Lucy, has been feeling under the weather all day. I hope she feels better too.

History Channel

I was watching the History Channel tonight, and there were two programs that I couldn't turn away from. They were both behind the scenes, one was Air Force One, the other was the White House. Now, I love history. I love Washington D.C., I've been there twice, and I know I would love to go back. In a heart beat. I love the museums. I love the historical feeling that's in the air and all over the city. I love Arlington National Cemetary. The graves, and their precise rows. There are so many different things to take pictures of...I would be overwhelmed! The structures, size, color, architecture, and life. Wow, I'm getting excited just typing and thinking about it. I would love to take pictures of everything at night there too. My mind is racing and I can't type that fast so I'll just stop but at least I got some down. Later.
