Every Day Workspace

Edited Photo:

On this photo I cropped part of the top and right side of the photo. After that I turned it into black and white. Next, I dodged some of the highlights and the midtones. The seasoning containers got dodged a little and little part of the cup in the foreground.
Then adjusted the levels a little. Finally, I dodged part of the chair and the table a bit. I liked this photo a lot because its what my daily workspace usually looks like. I thought that the setup of the objects were good as well. This is a good example of a diaristic or autobiographical still life.

Board Games

Edited Photo:

I turned this photo into black and white. After that I dodged some of the boxes and the text on the boxes. Also, I dodged some of the wood on the shelves. Then, adjusted the levels a little. Finally I cropped a little of the right side of the photo which wasn't needed. I just really liked this photo because of its a collection of games that collected over time and I like all the path ways there are. Also its a still life in a way.

Bi-Polar

I chose this photo because I think I captured two realistic emotions that occur in manic people. What I did to this photo was convert it to black and white. Adjusted the levels and increased the sharpness.

1942

This photo reminded me of a war torn area of Germany.

Erica

I chose this photo because it reminded me of when I proposed to my wife. It was just her and I alone in the park, sitting at a picnic table.

I chose to take this picture because I wanted to create a "meditative" or "calm" space. Candles always seem calming so I chose to have a simple picture with just the candles in them. I changed the levels a little to bring out the candles more by having a dark background

River

I like this photo because there was only one spot in the river where the ice had melted around the rocks and you could see it flowing.

I like this photo because I think it looks calm, and there is no evidence of people living so close to there.

This photo I chose to take for reflection for a couple of different reasons. It reflects my love for the sport and the litteral reflection through the glass. I also changed the levels on this photo to pull out more of the darks and lights. I also cropped out a lot of other information to focus in more at the glass reflection.

I cropped the photo, converted it to black and white, and changed the levels. This is a reflection of me, because i was in a dance class for all of high school, and it became my life and I loved it.

Reflections

I love this photo, I get a sense of calm from this. This photo goes with my theme, "The Grey Side Of Life," because those of us who are from northern Minnesota know it's time to hunker down for the winter.












This photo works for the reflections assignment and also my theme. It works for my theme because the color is coming out of the grey.
