ojos de brujo techari

Yesterday’s assignment was to re-create a CD album cover of anyone we wanted to. This was soooo hard! I kept thinking I wanted to do something really simple, but in the end I complicated myself was usual. I chose Ojos de Brujo. A wonderfully deliciously talented Spanish group that has a very interesting and eclectic [...]

Photo Documentary Series

This was perhaps the most difficult assignment for this class. Mostly because I had no clue where to start and what would be interesting. I was extremely frustrated. After all, I think I over complicated myself in the first place thinking about it, but I finally came through. I’m happy with it, but I have [...]

Analog manipulation

This was actually a pretty fun experiment. Here are the rules: NO PHOTOSHOP USE – Only tools found in an analog darkroom can be used. (burn, dodge, crop, exposure, etc) 3 DIFFERENT EFFECTS – They have to be very different from each other, so you cannot use the same type of object (white glass and [...]

Big Sur Camping

On Wednesday we met up with our friend Sierra and his girlfriend Nina to camp in Big Sur. We met them at the campground after midnight. They had already gone to bed, as well as the rest of the campers around. I didn’t know, and Ryan failed to tell me that we had to hike [...]

Loneliness

Yesterday’s assignment was to photograph a family member of friend and the objective was to represent loneliness with the use of shadows, light, and emotion through body language. I think by far, this was the most challenging assignment yet. I found yesterday out the assignment was due yesterday, so I quickly began sketching and writing [...]

Food Photography

July 11, 2010

Last week’s assignment for my photography class, was to emulate a professional photographer and submit 3 photos. I don’t know why but I chose one of the most difficult subjects: food. Maybe I was hungry? Amy Herold is a commercial photographer (if that’s a term) but she photographs food. I chose her because I loved [...]

For my photography class, our lesson last week was about composition. You’d think it would be easy, I mean, all you gotta do is point and shoot, the object is not moving and it won’t change, right? But it is NOT as easy as it sounds or looks. You have to take your time to [...]

Moon Eclipse 2010

I completely forgot about the eclipse last Saturday until Ryan pointed at the moon realized it’s size. We drove around until we got a clear view of the moon but by that time it had gotten significantly smaller. So I grabbed my telephoto lens, which I haven’t used in years and my tripod and took [...]
