The Sun Has to Set Before it Rises.

The first picture is a frame from my stop motion video that is in progress. I was dealing with the race against time to get this shot. I absolutely love how it turned out. The second picture was just taking advantage of the opportunity of how beautiful the sunset was. <3

i took this picture from underneath a tree right when the leaves started turning to fall colors. i changed the saturation, contrast, exposure, and temperature. this brought out the shapes of the leaves more, and made the leaves take on a more kaleidoscope color affect. i love the sun and the colors that come of the rays, it gives me a very warm feel.

Christine Cha, as always looking ravishing...

Stop Motion Video

probably the most amazing thing i've seen in awhile. i was youtubing stop motion music, i came upon this. i loved the music, colors, creativity, everything. i hope to one day being able to expand my mind like this guy did!

before, and after. i took this picture at the very end of mainstreet. i inverted the image, changed contrast, hue, saturation, etc. i obviously like color...it was a huge transformation, and gives the photo a completely different feel.

Penn State, Altoona. Absolutely gorgeous in the fall. I wanted to take pictures more up close, and better in general. But i was snapping shots in the car, wish i could of pulled over!

Don't ask me how i find time to do any of this. Kind of captures some down time that i like to cherish. ha.

This is Wes. He served as a very good model for my picture. haha. I love the horizon line in this picture. I took this picture when there was a storm coming, so the clouds were very effective to this photograph. I decided to change it to black in white. It added a dramatic effect. The lighting on the grass, and slightly on Wes' face give a feeling of "power". I love his facial expression, to me it shows he's content, comfortable, and happy. The grass looks as though it extends forever.

Well this is the final product. After a lot of thinking, and many different processes i have finally decided on this ending image. If you look closely you can see a warped face, which is the picture i took of my roommate at a very slow shutter speed. That picture is also blogged as a single image, so you can compare. 

old image, new approach. just messing around with colors and different settings. i like how it turned out overall. 

The photography on the very bottom inspired the rest of the manipulated images to the right. They are all used by the same image. I was just messing around, and a couple came out really cool. I love adding color to photography. The black, pink, and yellow picture is my favorite. You could never tell it was originally a photograph if you looked at it. 

More pictures of Christine, who I absolutely loveeee. This is the beginning of my Digital Media project. This is the first layer. I plan to surround her with the everyday objects that stress her out. FOR NOW. 

Ok. I think I'm going blog happy for the sake of my grade. I'm done after this one! I actually really love these pictures. I love to explore photography through different colors, gives it a unique feel. The graffiti I just loved. I took it from many different angles, but i thought this shot was the strongest. With the pipes I love the composition, and just the overall way they turned out!

i decided to add a few pieces of my artwork! Top to bottom : blueberries (cut paper and watercolor), ME with long hair! (ink and water color), Pandas (acrylic), My dog Georgia (watercolor), aandddd flowers (digital photography).

I love the use a scale in his images. I hope to incorporate this in my photomontage.

The photo's are all blurred images. I especially like the last one because you see many different images of Christine.

comic relief for my life haha.

I love all of these pictures. Not because I'm in some, haha but because the graffiti just seems so unique to me. I've grown an extreme interest to it. Hopefully I can find time to explore some more and create even better pictures.

I posted this image just because the perspective made me laugh. I had put in an attempt of fitting my whole body...but obviously that didn't work. Surprisingly the picture came out cool, and not showing my face was affective. I like the uneven ground even though others may disagree! These all were apart of my self portrait project.

Well, I thought, maybe just maybe people would like to see my home town. This is Solomons Island. It's about an hour and a half away from Annapolis. It's a really popular tourist spot. In the picture you can see the Solomons Bridge!
