My Three Best Photos

I like this photo because of the bright colors and how the other flowers make a frame around the orange, centered one. I also like how close up it is so that you can see the green seeds that contrast the intense orange. This was taken at the Farmer's Market in Portland.

This photo of a pumpkin stem is  interesting because of how blurry the background is. I like how the circular stem stands out because the photo is in a square format. I also like how the blurry lines on the pumpkin move outwards from the center, focused stem.

I like how the negative space in this photo brings out the shape of the peaches. It also helps contrast the lighting on the tops of the peaches and gives the illusion that they are floating. It takes the eye away from the peaches themselves and focuses it on the shape and layout of them.

Framing Assignment Slideshow

These photos were taken for the first framing assignment. There are fourteen varying shots and two of each. Most of these were taken at the Portland Farmer's Market in the park blocks. Others were shot up at Washington Park, and a few were taken in Olympia,Washington by the Puget Sound.

Inspirational Photographers

Kevin Van Aelst

This photographer takes ordinary objects that people use everyday, and changes them to make different images. I enjoy this photo in particular because it's a regular tape roll that is torn carefully to create an ocean with waves. It is very creative and unique.  

   


Jamey Stillings

Jamey Stillings documented the construction of a large bridge with a camera alone. The pictures are incredible because they capture such an enormous structure. I really like this photo because of the various leading lines, and because of the contrast between the light of the bridge and the dark of the night.  





Joseph O. Holmes

This artist captures the beauty of winter. The extensive snow and trees balance each other out. This simplistic photo draws my attention because of the great contrast of white and grey. I also like how the two people stand out by falling below the defined horizon line.
