I chose my girlfriend’s apartment as the place to conduct the photoblitzing activity. For dinner that night was lobster, and they became the stars of the assignment. The kitchen was filled with various foods, and the walls covered in crafts, which gave me lots of subjects to choose from. I had a lot of fun with this assignment. Initially, I thought twenty minutes would quickly come and go, so I sped through the apartment taking as many pictures as I could, however once I was satisfied with the amount of pictures I took, there was still 8 minutes left! I used this extra time to return to the more sloppily done photos and try to improve them. The lobster that was for dinner stole the show, and was the most fun to use as my subjects.

The “lobster hackers” was my favorite photo, and fulfilled the photo of two things that don’t belong together. The rest of my work is:

A photo of something at an unusual angle

A photo that makes use of converging lines

A photo that represents the idea of openness

A photo dominated by a single color. This was of the lobster on top of a box of Valentine’s day chocolates.

I was very impressed with the creativity of my peers. After reviewing lots of photos, I chose my three favorites.

heymysparker used a picture of the hallway of Trinkle hall. The dark shadows of the hallway contrast with the light shooting through the window to give an eery feeling to the picture. Immediately, it reminded me of a dark corridor on a sailboat.

fmaggio took a photo of an interesting shadow. From the looks of it, she used the shadows created by tree branches to capture an elephant-like shadow. I thought this was extremely creative.

Klasalata took a close-up shot of coffee beans to capture a photo that emphasizes mostly dark tones. The shadows created by each bean fill the crevices with a deep black, which creates an interesting photograph.
