Concentration: My main concentration is pets! I love animals and love going over to my friends' houses and hanging out with their pets. Sometimes I enjoy their pets more than them. :p

Photo of the Week 5/26 - 5/30

 

Reflection: This is Zelda, 'murica's rat. She's pretty adorable and makes cute sniffy sounds.

Photo of the Week 5/19 - 5/23

 

Reflection: I went to Sunset Cliffs and I liked the way the rocks blended in with the water.

Photo of the Week 5/12 - 5/16

 

Reflection: Dave and I because we're cute.

Photo of the Week 5/5 - 5/9

Reflection: A wild murica in her natural habitat.

Photo of the Week 4/28 - 5/2

Reflection: This is a picture of Ben Bruce (and James Cassells) of Asking Alexandria. The quality sucks cause my phone does, but he looks sassy so I like it.

Photo of the Week 4/21 - 4/25

Reflection: This is Henry, America's bearded dragon. He's super huge so I had to take pictures of him. :D

Photo of the Week 4/14 - 4/18

Reflection: This is a picture of my old neighbor's cat. My friend Gabby and I named him "Tangerine" and he is super cute and majestic.

Photo of the Week 4/7 - 4/11

 

Reflection: This is just a picture of a sunset near Sunset Cliffs. My mom and I were driving by and decided to take pictures when we noticed how bright and vivid it was. This picture definitely does not do it justice.

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.
