5 Favorite Pics from Project

I like this picture because of the shadows the trees are making.
I also like the colors in the foreground and the dark blue of the sky.
It would have been nice to have more going on in the sky, it's kinda bland.
I do like the blue though.
I really liked how all of these pictures turned out.
It was a simple landscape piece, but I feel like that's what makes it fun.
I also love how the blue in the background really gives a great backdrop.
The way the branch lays is nice, as well.
I really like this picture.
This is one of my favorite from Yellowstone.
I absolutely love these dead trees. So cool.
The branches are awesomely shaped and I like the focused/out of focus areas complementing eachother.
Once again,t he sky was really blue that day and I think it makes a great backdrop.

I appreciate these birds... and this picture.
It took me forever to get them to fly and so this was quite the accomplishment for me.
I like the motion blur of the wings and the fairly infocus heads and bodies.
The splashes in the water add to the dynamic.
This is another really simple picture.
I love reflections and the colors are fairly bright in this one and I like it.
I also like the angle of the reflection..




I really liked the work of this photographer who would set up scenes to represent certain mental states. Her pictures on "writer's block" and"obsessive compulsive disorder" were extremely interesting. I really wanted to find her, but after an unsuccessful attempt to google her, I've given up and am just going to post a few of my portraits I've been workin on recently.

Rocky Seniors Display

To be completely honest, I did not make it to the exhibit this week.
However, I did some research on the exhibit and was able to view a couple pictures that were displayed.

I was able to find out that there were three seniors whose art was included in this particular exhibit. Those three are Cassie Scheidecker, Krista Hoyes, and Monica Geary.

I found an article (after googling the exhibit) about the exhibit that had a photo attached by Cassie Scheidecker. The photo was of a person, presumably her, who was playing the guitar, but her arms and hands were surrounded by barb-wire. This photo was intended to represent the struggles Scheidecker has with a severe case of arthritis and how it complicates the things she loves to do. I found this particular composition inspiring, touching, and very emotional. It was an amazing photograph.
