    Photo Essay

    by
    My first photo is of my roommate Abby. She is often in this position on her bed, which is why I chose to photograph her here. I decided to have her blanket be in focus and have her be out of focus in the background for several reasons. The first is that Abby is not […]

    Response To “Masters Of Photography”

    by
    First off, the lady speaking at the beginning’s afro really distracted me from listening to what she was actually saying. So did her glasses because they took up half of her face. Some of the cinematography was awkward and strange, like the random shot of her hands and the uncomfortable zooming in and out. At ...

    Experimental Photo: Photo With Detached Lens

    by
    This is an example I found online of a photo taken with the lens detached. I tried to follow the technique’s directions online but it didn’t work as well as I had planned. I detached the lens of my DSLR camera and held it up to where it usually attaches, tilting it slightly downward to ...

    Depth of Field Photo

    by
    I messed around with the aperture and f-stop of my camera, using a smaller aperture to get a larger f-stop number, in order to increase the depth of field. This caused the space in the image to look deeper and less condensed.

    Response To “Jon”

    by
    Response To “Jon” I know this is a lame response, but I really couldn’t think of anything but this song when I began this reading so I decided that I should just express my thoughts through the song!

    Animated Gif

    by

    Response to Robin Williams

    by
    I know it’s a little early for Christmas, Edward, but… I have a present for you., a photo by spacesick on Flickr. I really liked the way this poster incorporated a theme in the movie into the aesthetics. The sliced up hands with space in between refers to the character’s scissorhands and the heart is ...

    Album Cover

    by
    This was one of my favorite album covers because I loved the way it integrated an old, historical-like photo with a modern design that still upholds the antiquity of the photo and doesn’t really detract from the ancient aesthetic. The band’s name is “The Ant Network,” which also ties in, as you can interpret the ...

    color splash

    by
    On the editing software, Picasa, I clicked on the first “fun and useful image processing” button (the black paintbrush on the top left that is selected in white) and from there selected the “focal b&w” option. This turned the image black and white, except for one are. I then dragged that colored area to the ...
