Analog Final

It has been a while but I haven't had my computer for over a week so I'm just now finally posting these. This was a sequence that I did with film and printing. I got an A- but if I could've I would've redone it completely, I wasn't very happy with results. It's a story about how a kitchen plays a huge role in everyday life, specifically the life of a bachelor (me) living on his own. Enjoy, let me know what you think!

And here are some more pictures, completely random, that I had processed and printed in the darkroom that I hadn't posted.

Fun at the senior center!!! =D

For my photojournalism class, our assignment was to do a shoot of/about something that would be of interest to the community. After some plans fell through I ended up spending some time at the Mt. Washington Senior Center. What a blast! These folks were so friendly and inviting! I even had an offer to take pictures of one woman nude! On Thursdays, after a free lunch is provided, they play bingo. I caught the tail-end of lunch and the beginning of bingo. My favorite pictures is the first. That lady is just absolutely the sweetest and I spent a good deal of time taking pictures of only her. I just can't wait until I reach sixty and am old enough to go to a place like this =).

Fortune Cookie Shoot

In my photographic design class my instructor handed each of us a fortune cookie and told us that our final project had to be a six image sequence based on the fortune we got. Mine said, "Someone in your life needs a letter from you." So in a strange twist, Tim ended up playing me in the shoot and I played time (if  you were wondering). It's only supposed to be six pictures but I'm posting more. I think it flows better.

Liquid and Color

This week I focused on the liquid portion of my theme.

Color Study

Color is an interesting concept. In America, when we think of white, we think of purity, weddings, or heaven. However, if you're from an eastern culture, you'd think of funerals, death, and mourning. In eastern culture, brides wear red and in Ireland the color green symbolizes their entire country. This being said, we all agree that color plays a huge role in our society. From our traffic system to our emergency system and even in our love lives.
I shot two colors, green and yellow, being instructed to make them correlate with the entire theme of the photo.

First, I randomly (drew out of a hat) selected the color yellow to shoot. In our culture, yellow means hazard, coward, or excitement. I chose to shoot excitement.

Next I decided to shoot the color green, which in western culture represents spring, nature, money, envy, or greed. I shot with the theme of money/greed in mind.

Here are some more themes, I'm almost done with these!

First of all, these are my favorite shoes and they've been broken for a while, but now, thanks to some Krazy Glue, They're fixed =)
