Photography 1 - Series 3 - Various Assignments

Various Assignments

The following are photos from various assignments that we were given throughout the Semester.

Visual Poem:

For this assignment I took a picture of the Weeping Lady 

at the Logan City Cemetery and then this picture of Nate. 

I displayed them side by side and it was quite poetic, if I may say so myself. 

For some reason I can't locate a photo of the Weeping Lady, so you just get the Nate!

Silhouettes:

This is my sweet niece Hallie Grace. 

We were supposed to be playing with silhouettes and I caught this one kind of by accident. 

I absolutely love it, even though it's not really a silhouette!

The Cliche Verve:

Ahhh... the Cliche Verve. 

This is actually a picture that I etched out of some type of ash that was painted on glass,

then processed as a negative on the enlarger. 

This was a fun assignment, but it was super messy and the ash was quite smelly.

The SHOE Project:

Okay, that wasn't what this assignment was called,

I don't really remember why we did this or what the point of it was,

but here it is anyway!! :)

Just Processed:

We took a trip to Jackson during the winter and went snowshoeing. 

I took this picture at the base of a trail that led to a gorgeous view of the Tetons. 

I couldn't wait to get these pictures back to the dark room!

Studio Lighting Test: 

I set up a faux studio in my in law's basement and had a great time 

trying out my lighting and actually figuring out what worked and what didn't. 

Yes, I know the lighting in this picture leaves much to be desired, 

but I couldn't resist posting a pic of Nate & I!

Hailey:

What can I say about Hailey except that she is, hands down, my favorite dog. 

I'm more of a cat lover than a dog lover, but there is something about Hailey 

that makes me smile every time I see her! 

This is just a picture that I took for fun that I ended up processing 

during a demonstration for some kids at Edith Bowen.

Self Portrait:

One of our assignments was to do a Self Portrait. 

I had such grand ideas of how this would turn out 

and I must say that the self in this portrait was not what I wanted to be, 

but I feel really liked the end coloring, so here it is!

Duplication:

Innocence - for this assignment we had to spend time in the library and find a picture to duplicate. 

I don't have the original picture (I wish I did), but here is my replication. 

The model for this picture is my mom's cute neighbor, Megan.

Wow, that was a lot of photos. Thanks for hangin' in there with me!

Keep Smiling,
