Reflection: While looking at these photos, I want my viewer to feel like they understood what I was doing AND like I understood what I was doing (1. The cd booklet is making up half my face and 2. The cupcake sticker is my head). Some obstacles I faced were lining up the booklet to my face in the perfect spot (which obviously I trouble with it) and figuring out what I wanted to take shots of. I'm most proud of the first one because it was harder to do.

Reflection: My top three are #2, 4, and 6. These are my best because they are the sharpest and animals that are more interesting. Jinxx (the cat) has really bright green eyes that are complimented really well by the grass and his fur. The hawk is looking directly at you so i find that pretty cool as well as the background completely blurred. To successfully complete this project, I had to understand what each of the categories meant; Fill the frame is more close up, pattern/texture shows the texture, and with rule of thirds the subject isn't directly in the middle of the shot.

Inspirational Photographer

My grandpa is my inspirational photographer. Starting from when I was little and began taking pictures, George has taught me numerous techniques and the meaning of a good picture. He gave me my first camera and took me out on my first "photography excursion." I'm glad I can confidently say "I've learned from the best." :D
