I live this picture that I took of my two friends after a spring ski trip. It was only the three of us and I wanted to take a picture I them being themselves. Even though I was behind the camera you can still see me in one of their …

This is a photo I am considering using for my Photo Essay. It was taken over Spring Break (if only it were actually that beautiful outside), and it captures something about my grandparents that I can’t really explain. I’ve decided I am going to make all photos in the essay…

I am considering adding this picture to my final photo essay. I just think the moment that is captured in it (this was in NYC last weekend) is very powerful. You see a street artist posing for an old man who kept taking pictures. Of course, this is done with …

These are three photographs of my own creation with wildly different compositions and styles but with similar rhetorical purposes. I tried to show natural and unnatural patterns that occur in different places around us.

How did the week go?

An example animation typical of a single panel of Homestuck. The style is simple and repetitive, and used to emphasize comic effect.

Pretty well. Despite some technical issues, I tried some news things and cranked out some content. But first, the bad part. I had …

My photos for the week are here. I went back and forth between Ann Arbor and my parents’ home this week, so I wasn’t able to use photoshop or even a computer for a lot of my time here, which made it challenging to come up with a good …

“Lately I’ve been struck with how I really love what you can’t seen in a photograph.”

I really liked this line from Masters of Photography: Diane Arbus. I think it’s so interesting, especially paired with some of the photographs shown in the documentary. I especially like Arbus’s portraits of …

“Take a photo that communicates a universal theme; name the picture with that theme.”

This is a photo of property that my parents own in Manchester, and to me the barren landscape and silence that surrounds it just puts the word “oblivion” into my head – after the horizon, is …

1. Take a photo with strong contrasts—technical (lighting, coloring), physical (size, distance), conceptual (new and old, present and past).

2. Take a portrait. Meet my father.

3. Take a self-portrait (I cheated with this one and had my roommate use her nice camera last week).

4. An extreme close-up of …
